Deaf Musicians

Several schools for the deaf
have full-f1edged military bands,
playing standard instruments.
The sense of touch is closely re-
lated to the sense of hearing.
Therefore, with the aid of highly
developed sense of touch, the deaf
may learn to distinguish time, in
tensity, pitch and even melody.
By careful training deaf mu-
sicians may learn to detect err
rors in their own playing.
Easiest instrument for them is the
drum, which, of course, is a vi
bration instrument.

| good-by that day when hope had
died and they were crawling with
the last of their strength across
the tundra to the valley of the Talk
ing River. What would Berthe say
if he spent the early summer on
the north coast seeking dogs for
John McCord? Would she believe
that he still cared for her if he
went north at once on his return to
Fort George?
"Yes, | want a team like Rough.
I'll get only scrubs from East Main
if l get them at all"
But Ungava dogs are hard to
get" objected Alan. There ars
few for sale. The Huskies want
them for themselves.
With a quick movement McCord
slipped his hand from the rabbit
skin mitten, slung by thong from
his neck. and wiped the ice formed
by his breath from his short, blond
beard
You're straight as spruce-or
I'm no judge of a face" he said.
"Tm-Tm going to trust you. but
how about Noel? He's Indian. Can
you keep his mouth shut-.if they
try-to learn something?"
Noel would die for me-" an
swered Alan, wondering what was
coming. He will not talk"
You'll get the dogs, then?"
why not come to the coast and
get them, yourself?"
Il don't want it known at Fort
George where | am going to locate
to trade with the Indians. That's
why l came in by way of Rupert
House-to throw them off the scent
to lose myself. Remember you've
never seen me. Can Noel keep that
locked in his throat?"
Suddenly across Alan's brain
there flashed a suspicion. Could this
man, facing him here on the river
ice, be wanted down in the prov
inces for crime?
You saved our lives" was AL
ans answer. They'll never know
at Fort George that we met you"
Il believe you. boy" McCord laid
his hand on the others shoulder
But will you 60 up the coast for
the dogs?"
Alan hesitated. There was Berthe!
What would she say? He was saw
ing-saving in the hope that, some
day, Berthe-But the money that
McCord would pay him might bring
that day nearer.
'Ill need plenty Of tea. tobacco
and sugar to trade for dogs with the
Huskies," said Alan, weakening.
I'm give you plenty Of money,
but you mustn't show it at Fort
George They'd want to know
where you got it. And l don't want
them to know this summer that
you've met me-"
But what good will that do?"
demanded Alan, impatiently. Your
men must have reached EasJ Main
before Christmas if they left here
in November. Fort George would
learn by the Christmas mail that
you were in here, somewhere.
McCord nodded True, but my
men didn't know we were on the
Big River headwaters. /"
so you don't want Fort George
to know just where you are?"
Exactly If they learn that
you've met me. they might follow
you when you come back with the
dogs"
Follow me? Why" Again suspi-
cion lurked in Alan's mind. But
they may be following your Indians
now-if they talked at East Main" &"
McCord slowly shook his hooded
head. They're not following my
Indians.
You mean you think they've de-
serted you and-Heather? They'd
take your dogs and money and not
come back-leave you here flat
without a dog or man to help
you?"
That's just what I'm saying"

The presidential regime which Franco has arranged for is similar to that of the United States so far as the executive branch of govern ment is concerned, with cabinet under the president; but without a parliament.
 Franco Supreme Head Under the plans of Franco, it was understood, Franco himself will be supreme head of the army. Under him as army head will be a minister of national defense, it is understood, with separate army, navy and air departments under the defense min ister.
 In addition it is understood that there will be minister for foreign affairs, justice, public order, interior and finance as the principal cabinet figures. There would also be minis tries of commerce, agriculture, na- tional education and public works.
 It was expected that the ministers of the new regime would take the oath of office some time today.
 Under the new law, Franco will have supreme legislative power and will issue decrees in matters of ordi- nary governmental functions. In cases affecting the structure of the state, decrees will be issued after de- liberation by the government as whole or at the instance of the cab inet minister concerned.

 Reed Is Sworn In
 Washington, Jan. 31 - (UP) - Stanley Forman Reed was sworn in today as an associate justice of the United States Supreme Court, His assumption of seat on the high bench shifted control of the tribun- al to a "liberal bloc of five justices.
 Reed, President Roosevelt's second appointee to the court, swore to the jurist's oath before his judicial col leagues in the quiet dignity of the supreme court chamber.
 The oath was administered by Charles Elmore Cropley, supreme court clerk. Reed immediately took his seat at the extreme left of the bench.
 Next to Reeds seat was the va cant chair of Justice Benjamin N. Cardozo. Justices Cardozo and Louis D. Brandeis, Harlan F. Stone and Hugo L. Black comprise the liberal bloc which Reeds appointment aug mented to five-man majority. Car dozo is seriously i'll.

 Mayor Wouldn't Cut Pay
 When Mayor Frank Hayes took office, the charter commission, bas- ing its recommendations on the au- dit of city affairs conducted by Griffenhagen and associates and devised by Republican politicians, was in the process of the survey which resulted in the various char ter amendments. Leary was made lieutenant on Jan. 18, 1928, years before Mayor Hayes took office and the latter said recently that "he hadn't the heart to cut the pay" of the man who presently is without necessities because of the political c'@"os incepted in the controllers office.
 Have Had Tough Time
 The Leary'S have one child, and Mrs. Leary, between the times her husband was out of the hospitals where his numerous operations were found necessary, has cared for him for more than 10 years. Comment of the neighbors is that the Leary's have had a tough time" even when he was getting his pay from the city. This, they said, was made quate to provide for the expense of the treatment doctors prescribed for him.

 denwein, New London, criticized na- tional committeeman Pryor for att tempting to read Highway Commis- sioner John A. Macdonald out of the party because of the Merritt Parkway grand jury investigation.
 The United Press was informed that many staunch Republicans under ordinary circumstances would welcome normal procedure for reorganization of the party" However, they disagreed with the Bradley-Pryor assertion that those identified with the old Roraback machine should be dropped from its councils or read out of the party. Experience should not be entirely ignored to pacify the movement for youthful representation, they as- serted.
 Old Line Leader Talks
 "They are not going to clean the old leaders out like they would clean a pigsty," said one old line leader.
 Admitted by all that the days of Boss Rule," such as was expe- rienced for nearly 25 years under Roraback, were gone. However, it was argued that it was necessary for one individual to assume respon- sibility for the party's policies and actions and to that end it was i'm perative the new leader have with authority in order to control the wide-flung organization. There was no objections from the old guarders to an advisory council to sift the viewpoints of the county organiza- tions and aid the leader in the for mutation of policies.
 What Bradley Says
 In some, respects Bradley con- cured with these views. He assert ed "old habits and old methods must be removed. No one wishes to dis parage the great work of the old leaders. But the Republican party must be returned to the people. And new leaders, whether young or old, are needed for this work"

JAPAN TO PUNISH
 GUILTY SOLDIER
Continued from Page D

Tn reply to the American ambas- sador'S oral representations of Jan 29, the Japanese vice minister for foreign affairs explained the follow ing three points at the foreign min ister'S official residence:
 T. Under whatever circumstances the incident might have taken place the skipping by Japanese soldier of the American consul at Nanking was an extremely unfortunate occur renee. Maj. Hondo, staff officer of the Japanese forces at Nanking, went to the United States embassy and rendered in the name of the highest Japanese commander at Ranking expressions of regret and apologies which are reported to have been accepted on the part of MT. Allison. The Japanese govern ment on their part also wish to eX- press profound regret for this occur renee.
 Adequate Punishment
 "2. In view of the serious char acter of the incident the Japanese government wishes to give assur- ances that on completion of strict investigations steps will be taken for adequate punishment of those re- Sponsible.
 8. There exists a considerable diff ference between the versions given in the American complaint regard ing the circumstances leading up to the skipping of the United States consul by Japanese soldier and the report received from the Japanese authorities, and since the facts will be brought to light only after care full and thorough investigations the carrying out of investigations must necessarily be reserved until later date"
 State Dept. Studies It
 Washington, Jan. 31 - (UP) - State department officials studied an expression of regret from the Japa- nese government today for an in- cldent in Nanking in which a Japa- nese sentry slapped the face of American Consul John M. Allison.
 Although no official announcement was forthcoming immediately, it was believed that at least an acknowl- edgme0t of the Japanese foreign offices statement would be made later today. Observers believed that the department might withhold any definite action on the statement un- til completion of investigations that the Japanese government offered to make regarding the incident.
