deadly. But being able also to earn
money by their work is perhaps as
valuable as the money.
Nature Is a kind mother and GER

blind persons are given a wonGe--

marvellous accomplishment whsah
the deaf can master. They can a q

happy and useful lives.
Blindness is a greater handicap

Soldiers blinded during tic
World War have become useful
citizens by what they have be n

Blind women can also learn to D
various kinds of fancy work-kn.-

which are saleable.
A home workshop is the greatest
comfort to a deaf man. especially
II he knows something about ha.-

work Is making toys for children.
Pieces of wood can be secured from
lumber dealers for little or no

other toys appeal to children. TIE
addition of bright paint adds to t.e
appeal. Several deaf artisans could
get together and have a sale of

results for all.
Music has often proved a great
help and comfort to the blind.
Adam Geible is a noble example of
what a blind musician can do. Any
blind men or women who can sing
may be trained for positions that

There Is always room on the radio

ALEXANDRIA, Va. July o.
Traffic arrests on the Mount Vernon
Memorial boulevard have shown a
decrease during the fiscal year end
ing June 80 as compared with the
previous year. United States Com
missioner John w. Monroe, jr., said
today.
There were 186 cases heard by
commissioners during the 1878 pc
riod as compared with 148 for the
vscal period just completed, he said.
The cases were heard by Commis-
sioners Monroe and John Barton
Phillips during the first period and
by Commissioners Monroe and Phil
lips from July l, 1888, to May 5, 1899:
by Commissioner Monroe alone until
May Is and thereafter by Commits
sioners John P. Strauss and Monroe
until the close of the fiscal year.
Commissioner Phillips resigned
from the Office and Commissioner
Strauss was named by the court to
succeed him. They hear traffic cases
involving offenses along the George
Washington parkway and along Ar
lington Ridge road near the Airing
ton National Cemetery and Fort
Myer.
Since the construction OF the ma
tional airport began at Gravelly
Point, a 25-mile per hour zone has
been placed in effect between Wash
ington and Four Mile Run. Most of
the cases heard lately involve excess
sive speed in this zone.
