the prevention and alienation of
deafness.
THE Federal Government. through
its several agencies, has long been
aware of the tragic burden that i'm
paired hearing brings to the individual
and his family. The Office of Educa-
ton. the Bureau of Standards. the
Children's Bureau and the United
States Public Health Service nave
frequently joined with your organ
ization in the investigation OF the
physical, education and economic
problems of the hard of hearing.
Deafness constitutes one of the
grave problems confronting those re-
sponsible for the welfare of our people.
The magnitude of the problem has
not yet been accurately ascertalneo,
though it is estimated that some
100000 people in the United states
suffer some degree of defective near
ing. It has also been estimated tnat
100000 of our school children have
already suffered a hearing loss, or
will, unless steps are taken to prevent
the conditions and diseases that LEAD
to hearing impairments.
"The observance of National Hear
ing week will. I believe, prove OF vital
importance in drawing together tne
good will, constructive thought. ana
positive action of all those individuals
and agencies concerned with the gen.
eral welfare of our Nation. IN con-
certed effort for the conservation Oh

Endorsement of the President
4 of the United States. 1t is
the first time this week has had such
official recognition since it was estab-
lished 10 years ago in the roster Of
named weeks. Persons not acquainted
with its serious aims may wonder
that any one should want to promote
more hearing, since that faculty, as
now possessed by the average person,
is sufficiently overwhelmed by the in
cessant clatter and roar OF contem-
porary civilization.
But blessings truly brighten as they
disappear, and these who have lost
their hearing. wholly or in part, would
gladly embrace an opportunity to be
made nervous wrecks by the city's
hub-bub in exchange for the peaceful
silence they now inhabit. So it hap.
pens that thousands of hard-of -hear-
ing people throughout the country will
observe National Hearing week, aim
ing, through united action, to con-
serve hearing.
The campaign should have more
than ordinary interest for Washing
tonians. since Our National Capital
is the center of national endeavor in
behalf of the deafened. The Ameri-
can Society for the Hard of Hearing
has headquarters here; the Wash
ington League for the Hard Of Hear
ing is one of the most active local
organizations (of total of 160 in
as many cities), and four agencies of
the United States Government located
here cooperate with the society in
many ways. From our city there
radiates a network of organized effort
through city leagues, reaching from
Portland, Me-, to San Diego, and from
Detroit to New Orleans. There are
similar leagues in Canada as well.
Approximately 100 of these local or
ganizations are chapters of the Ameri-
can Society for the Hard Of Hearing.

his blessing to National Hearing

(By The Associated Press)
 LONDON, Sept. B, A woman artist, E. K. Redaer, who recent ly held an exhibition in Lon- don, specializes in "intuitionaP' portraits. Frequently she never sees her "sitters."
 For instance, she "tuned in" to New York lecturer, warned him to stand by at a certain hour, and when the time came they both concentrated mentally. Between them they evolved" a picture, he radiating the ideas, she transferring them through the brush.
 Miss Reader was a draftswom- an at WoolWich arsenal for two years during the war. Subsequent ly she studied art. Her most un- usual efforts, she says, are evolv- ed by putting water and paint on paper and letting the mix ture run. By turning the paper about, she discovers an accident al design, in which she sees a spiritual meaning. She brings this out by painting a few more lines, and the result is a "wat- er-mark" picture.
 Miss Reader also asserts she can record anybody's dream or "vision."

WASHINGTON, Sept. 28, - Two sails shot up the masts ot a schooner in the azure-blue har- bor of a little Mexican Island. Wind bellied her sails and she nosed north.
 That afternoon coast guard head quarters in Washington were messaged that the George and Earl" was headed toward Amerl can ports. And the George and Earl" was on the coast guards black list of rum-runners.
 For days messages came in from coast guard cutters and planes that she had been sighted still going north. Then she was lost.
 Finally the New York coast guard was warned she was head ed into that harbor. They search ed the miles of New York whar- yes, and finally custom agents spotted her sliding up the East River. She was boarded and seized. She held 32,00O gallons of alcohol.
 Coast guard intelligence here again marked another boat off their list of suspects.

 It took two men to push him into the small space he will oc- cupy for the trip.
 He was escorted by Pilot Chest CT Brown of the Arctic AirWays of Nome, in another plane, thru the treacherous Portage Pass, to Prince William Sound.
 Owen has been here for weeks arranging for new try for the flight. He obtained financial SUD- port from local persons.
 A federal seal forbidding the ship to leave the ground, was removed when Owen produced papers showing proper title to the ship, which is not licensed, and unidentified. Owen was all so unlicensed. A rumor here that Owen may be fined when he lands at Seattle, was unconfirmed.
