corning Alfred and his treachery.
The longer she talked, the easier
1t became, and also the less i'm.
portant 1t all seemed. Finally,
when she had completely finished
and dragged every spectre to the
light, she realized that the subject
OF Alfred no longer particularly
interested her. There were plenty
OF other things in life. People,
too. She flashed a glance at Tim:

that not only was her body being

important, her mind; something
cobwebby and unhealthy was for

herself, trying not very success
fully to snap ner fingers in the

Sally took off her bathing cap
and shook out her wavy hair. Tim
had hit the nail so directly on the
head it was almost uncanny. She
knew he had arrived at his con.

Outstanding, it would be relief to
pour out her soul. Torn between
her desire to get the whole horrid
mess from her system and her fear
of losing Tim, Sally sat in miser-
able silence, twiddling her fingers
in the water. Tim waited an in

This phrase clicked with Sally
as nothing else could. Before she

felt as if it weren't air at all she

to have the air cleared.
"All right" she blurted, turning

A most joyous expression crossed

into his eyeS, the kind that sent a
shiver up her spine. She had never
shivered like that before; certainly
not when encountering Alfred's
mild and brotherly gaze.

A BLIND TEACHER

Few men have contributed more to
practical education than the late Sir Fred
erick Fraser, for many years superin-
tendent of the School for the Blind at Hall
fax, Nova Scotia.
Himself blind, having suffered an in
jury to his eyes in childhood and losing his
vision entirely at the age of 16, he COM
pleted his education at the Perkins In
stitute in Boston in 1873, since which time
he labored for so years as superintendent
of the Halifax school, retiring in 1928
Throughout this half century of serv-
ice, he was the promoter of better school
facilities for the blind, establishing courses
of instruction designed to make them use
full citizens and educating the public to
use their services and products, so that
they might be self-supporting.
He took pains to see that his pupils
and all were encouraged to learn their
way around the city unaided. Hundreds
of sightless men and women owe to Prof
Fraser their ability to stand upon their
own merits and skill, instead of being help
less charges upon society.
In recognition of his outstanding ac-
complishments andabenefieentss services, he
was the recipient of many honors, incllids
ing knighthood. university degrees, demon.
strations of esteem on the part of his fell
low citizens, and above all the lsstiftg love
and gratitude of those whom he had prac-
tically, if not literally, led from darkness
to light.

TEXAS AND THE COURT

Of all the protests recorded against
President Roosevelt's plan to pack the Su-
preme Court by the appointment of six adj
ditional justices, that voiced by the Texas
Legislature is perhaps the most striking.
The state senate went on record as
being opposed to the plan by vote of %
to 3, while the house of representatives
took the same position by a vote of 95 to
20. The action taken is all the more re-
markable owing to the fact that Texas
gave President Roosevelt vote of more
than z to / in last November's election.
1t may thus be readily seen that the
opposition to the court plan is not par
tagonistic to the Presidents general poll
cies. The revolt against the proposal is
rather manifestation of the peoples
confidence in the Supreme Court and the
feeling that any tampering with our high
est judicial tribunal should be avoided.
Commenting on the action of the state
legislature, the Texas Weekly, staunch
Democratic publication, says the people
will generally approve that action, and
adds:
Regardless of what they may think
of the desirability of the New Deal
measures which the Court has declared
unconstitutional, most of them are OPP
posed to doing anything to weaken the in
tegrity and independence of that tribunal
In Texas thes9reat mass of the people still

Though the President has not

gressional Record for evidence OF

attempts to curb the courts is the fact
that up to the time of this writing.

LOOK OUT FOR THE BOONE

Professor Irving Fisher, of Yale Uni
versity, an authority on finance and eco
Monies, recently celebrated his SEVENTEEN
birthday and among other statements,
said: eve have emerged from the de-
preston. The danger is that we are now
going into BOOM
This warning is heard from many
great authorities and, extraordinary as it
may sound, is believed by great many
average citizens whose fingers were al
most burned off by the recent financial
conflagration. However, the warning is
like the weather, everybody talks about it
but nobody does anything.
The professor himself suggests four
safeguards: lowering the price of gold,
raising the rates of interest, opening mar
ket operations or further raising reserve
ratios after necessary legislation. The
first two would mean hardships for the
average citizen through higher prices for
commodities and money, the third we UNI
derstand little about and the fourth is a
continuation of the process already in
operation by the financial officials of the
nation. 1t seems to be working and, ap-
parently, is the best measure to adopt as
permanent program.

accusation that the Court Is q

The Constitution does not mention
judicial review in so many words.
