Young Lad Traps Himself
Trying to Steal Motor Car

TITUSVILLE, PA.-A would-be
auto thief, whose taste for an ex-
pensive car got him in a tight jam,
literally trapped himself in the G.
D. Watson family garage in nearby
Pleasantville.
Awakened by the constant blow
ing of a horn, members of the FAM
lily rushed to the garage to find the
youth caught between a car and a
garage door. He was nearly suf-
located.
The Watsons said the youth had
pushed a small car out of the garage
so he could get at more expensive
auto. In attempting to push out
the big car, he was caught between
it and the door. When found, he
had one foot on the horn.

Not Very HOpeful

The new curate was keen on get
ting up concert in the village hall.
The first problem was the piano.
He was told the cobbler had one. So
along he went.
'Lend the pianner?" was the
CHEEKY reply. with pleasure. It's
in the cellar, but I can soon get it
ready"
Then he went to the door of the
back room and shouted:
eliza, where's the works of the
pianner?"
Back foated a voice from the
kitchen:
"Why, amt they in the garden?"

NOT FAR OUT

In recent county court case one
of the witnesses was a man who did
not deny that he had little love for
the motor-car." He raised a roar of
laughter by describing the defend
ants chauffeur as a "chiffonier!"
On repeating the blunder, he was
pulled up by counsel for the defense.
Chauffeur, my friend, chauf-
feur" corrected the latter. "a chif-
fonier, you know, is an ornamental,
wooden"
"Oh, WE'LL" interrupted the wit
ness, with nod in the direction of
the chauffeur, "call him what you
like. I dare say we're both pretty
near the marki"

Thief Outwits Scheme to
Stop Larceny of Milk

ROANOKE, Val. E. Stanley
put his inventive genius to work aft
er a thief had stolen several bottles
of his baby's milk off the front porch
at night. He rugged up wooden
collar that would hold the bottle
until unlocked from a post and
proudly awaited the result. The
next day he found an empty bottle
containing a straw.

Diffident Artist
Now Teaches Blind
ToDraw and Write
Method Makes 1t Possible
For Afflicted to Enjoy
New Pleasures.

LOS ANGELES.-Little did George
T. Wally dream IL years ago that
his embarrassment would some day
lead him into a field that eventually
would become his life work, and as
a result, his embarrassing moments
would bring hours of happiness to
many less fortunate than he.
A new method of teaching the
blind to enjoy some of the pleas
ures of normal persons and to awak-
en- talents otherwise dormant is be-
ing developed by Wally.
The idea was conceived by the
artist and former Golden Glove box
ing champion in 1928 during the time
he was sketching characters on New
York streets. Finding it embarrass-
ing to sketch subject amid curious
onlookers, Wally began searching
for some inconspicuous means of
making his drawing unobserved.
Sketched in Pocket.
He solved the problem by wear
ing deep pocketed coat and with
the aid of pencil and paper drew
the sketch within the depths of the
pocket, never seeing the drawing.
AS he put it, 81 merely transferred
the mental picture onto the pad in
my pocket, using my fingers and a
pencil as medium.
cat the time 1 wondered about
the possibilities of introducing such
a system to aid the blind" he said.
Though the idea of subconscious-
ly transferring a mental image to
paper occurred to him IL years ago,
it was not until six months ago that
he began to develop it. And, after
a brief experiment in using it as an
aid to the blind, Wally believes the
blind can be taught to write,
draw and paint without the medium
of Braille.
Progress has been made during
the past six months by Wally's II
pupils. Unaided, aside from funda-
mental instructions, they have
learned to write their names, write
poetry, letters and notes, play tit
tattoo and paint simple designs with
water colors.
"The blind" Wally said, care SEN
sitive and can learn only when they
are completely relaxed"
Easily Learn to Write.
They first are taught to draw a
straight line and once this is &C
complished they gain confidence and
it is comparatively simple to teach
them to write.
Each student is supplied with a
paper six inches square, containing
a series of four appraised dots placed
one inch apart. Spaced between the
inch markers is another raised dot
to designate one-half inch.
The student then places his finger
tips on one of the four raised dots
along each border which serve as
guide lines. Next, with a light pen
Gil at the tip of one finger, the pupil
moves it across the paper to the
right. Each repetition of the per-
Torrance will produce four paral-
lei lines and to the blind student this
is a great accomplishment.
Then after mastering the tech
nique of drawing straight line the
students begin writing their name.
This is feat which many blind new
er have been able to do. 1t is Wally's
contention that the blind may be
trained in the arts, producing plays,
musical comedies and operas, to
further develop their talents.
Wally ventured into the expert
mental teaching of the blind upon
his own initiative and since has pro-
crossed alone in his work.

Florida BY StreamIiner Ne,Uest in Vacations
"Sleeper-Coach" Trains
Change Travel Habits
Of Americans

THE trend toward vacations in all seasons
= is producing profound change in Amer
ica's travel habits, it is shown in a penetrat-
ing analysis Of changes in transportation just
released by the Edward G.. Budd Manufac-
turing Company, builders Of streamlined
trains.
Pointing to the upswing in summer travel
to Florida as an example, the analysis cites
the expansion in modern rail service to this
southern playground as indicative. First
streamliner service to Miami was in Febru-
ary, 1889, when the Budd-built Silver Meteor
made its maiden run. That same year, two
more "Meteors" and three Champions" were
added to the Florida feet
This winter, just two years later, no less
than IA regular-fare sleeper-coach trains will
serve Florida from the north, and already the
Florida streamliners are booked to capacity
on most runs. Reservations are often made
as far as two months in advance.
Typical of travellers on these low-cost,
luxury trai:s is Marie Minutello, secretary on
the staff of New York's Hotel Roosevelt
