SAFETY PROGRAMS HELP
The great difference between
private car and commercial vehi-
Gle accident trends. says the Ma
tional Safety Council, lies IN the
recent development of good safe
ty programs for the latter. Inc
private driver is his own boss
and he may take chances If ne Is
willing to assume the risk; the
commercial ~ vehicle operator, en-
the other hand, must drive safely
or lose his Job.

HARD OF HEARING
HAVE ADVANTAGE
Words lnaudibIe to Others
Made Understandable by
Lip-Reading.

The lip-reading class at the Wash
tnston League for the Hard of Hear
ing can understand words which
would be inaudible to youngsters with
better ears.
Their teacher asks them questions
In low voice. After each query,
hands go up and are waved with
enthusiasm by pupils eager to recite.
Cardboard Windmill Used.
The lessons are lively affairs. One
exercise always popular with the very
small pupils is conducted with the aid
of q big cardboard windmill which
has q wheel that can be turned to a
list of words.
The children read the words from
the lips of their instructor and then
spell them out on the windmill to
show that they understood properly.
Many of the children are so hard of
hearing that their school work suffers
in consequence until they begin to
understand lip-reading and readjust
their attitude toward a handicap
which at first had seemed too great.
Freed From Self-conSciousness.
Lip-reading makes the small pupils
more interested and alert to under
stand what is said to them. The new
found ability releases them from self
consciousness or inferiority complexes
previously suffered.
Some Of the pupils are drawn from
the clinic at Children's Hospital, 9TH
erS from the Board of Public Welfare.
The classes are free to all comers, and
are held each Saturday at IL am. at
