TEACHER OF HELEN
KELLER HAS OPERATION
TO RESTORE SIGHT

New York.-Mrs. Anne Sullivan
Macy, who became blind while guild
ing perhaps the most famous blind
person in the world, is about to go
home-able to see again.
II imagine death will be like that"
says Helen Keller, describing her an
guish while her teacher and compan-
ion for 48 years was under the sur
geon's knife.
ut seemed" she says, "as if l had
everything behind jumped into "a
great void, leaving-going / knew not
where"
Nervous, Yet Hopeful
When Mrs. Macy leaves the hos
pital for her small home in Forest
Hills, Long Island, her companions as
usual will be Miss Keller and Miss
Polly Thomson, secretary to Mrs.
Macy for the last Fl years.
These two sat outside the room as
their dear friend was being operated
upon.
eve were too nervous to talk"
says Miss Thomson.
II began to hope" Helen Keller
enunciates tonelessly, "when l learn
ed she had seen the Doctors hand as
he was working on her eye, but it
was week before I was sure she
would be able to see enough to make
her happy"
The three women were in Scotland
several years ago, when Mrs. Macy
discovered that she was losing her
sight. Each one, knowing so intimate
ly the terrors of blindness, comments
differently on the event.
Feared Strain Of Blindness
u really felt as though I were 60
ing blind myself" says Miss Keller,
who has not seen a shaft of sunlight
or heard a word in more than 48
years.
II always realized, having been
around the blind all my life," Mrs.
Macy adds, "the terrible strain they
live under. They have to remember
everything that other people know at
a glance. 1t is this terrible expendi-
ture of energy blindness requires that
frightened me"
In the home where they have lived
together for the past 18 year, they
carry on their work to help those al
ready blind, and to educate those now
seeing in the care of their eyes. This
work-the writing of articles, reply
ing to their worldwide correspon-
dence and preparing talks-occupies

them at their desks all day and many
evenings.
Sometimes they play with their
four dogs, of which they are very
fond. And at night they sit around
the fireplace, talking about their
work. Occasionally friends drop in
for visit.
What does the future hold for
them? Miss Keller, speaking while
the other two shake their heads in
agreement, says, "It holds more OPP
portunity to help others. We hope to
see blindness greatly reduced before
our lives end.
"Life has been a Wonderful adven-
ture. Through my Imagination and
sense of touch l have been able to
explore the world, and I have found
many marvels in it."

LINDBERGH CROSSED THE
ATLANTIC 8 YEARS AGO

New York.-The morning was gray
and ugly, poor flying weather and a
ganglying, tousle-headed youth glanc-
ed at the sky and into the cockpit of
silvery monoplane poised on the
runway at Roosevelt Field, Long Is
land.
"When I get into that little cabin,
it'll be like getting into the death
chamber at Sing Sing" he said.
He carried the thought little fur
Their.
eff I get out alive at Paris, it's
going to be like a pardon from the
governor"
And that virtually took care of the
speech-making attendant on Charles
"Slim" Lindbergh's take-off eight
years ago for the first nonstop New
York-to-Paris flight.
Few Friends Present
There was no fanfare. A few asso-
ciates and fellow filters watched him
climb into the cabin of his Esprit of
st. Louis" monoplane and roar down
the runway. The, heavily-laden ship
rose few feet and bounced to earth
again. Would he make it?
Lindbergh did, but not comfortably.
The plane barely cleared some tele-
phone wires. There was no farewell
circling of the field then, no final
flourishes.
The take-off was at 7:42 a. M, on
Friday. The young unknown who
came out of the west as a United
States mail pilot was headed for
Paris and a $4,000 prize. He carried
chicken wishbone in his pocket
his one concession to superstition,
Through rain and fog along the
North Atlantic coast he speeded, and
at st. Johns, Newfoundland, pointed
the silver nose Of the plane directly
for Ireland. .
Darkness enveloped him, and the
world waited breathlessly. During the
night Lindbergh maintained an aver
age speed Of 100 miles an hour, keep
Ing well above the rain, snow and
sleet of the lower levels. J
Late the next night French mill
tary officer turned from his micro
phone at LIE Bourget Field, Paris, and
announced he could hear the drone of
an airplane motor. A sky-flare was
sent up, and it revealed the Esprit of
St. Louis" 500 feet up.
Lindbergh brought his ship down
at 1921 p. m. The flying time for
his $3.50 mile trip was 80 hours and
20 minutes.
Among Lindbergh's noteworthy la
ter trips was an Asiatic flight in
1881, and two years later a 10000
mile survey of oceanic air routes
which took him to 81 counties. Mrs.
Lindbergh accompanied him.
Now, transatlantic flights are fire.
quent; the noted aviator who does
not attempt one achieves some dis
tintion. Among those who have flown
the Atlantic is woman, Amelia Ear
hart Putnam. Better planes, new and
improved instruments for keeping the
true couses have narrowed the sea.
Lindbergh helped to make this
possible.
