More than 800 blind people are being instructed in their homes by the State Board of Education of the Blind and many of these are now proficient at making useful articles which are offered for sale under the auspices of the State Board.

Miss Viola Jaenicke, home teacher for the board in this dis trict, will be in charge of the sale.
 Sales such as this are held throughout Connecticut and in the course of a year most of the 169 towns of the state are visited by the sales work of the State Board. In this way many of the products made by the blind people in their homes are sold and the proceeds are turned over to the blind workers. Much local assistance and backing is secured for these sales through churches, lodges, public officials, business houses and from private in dividuals who are willing to con- tribute time and effort in behalf of blind people.

By VIM. E. MCKINNEY America's Card Authority

Curt Walter of Great Neck, L. l., gave me today's hand, a good ex- ample of how much you can gain by paying attention to details.
 West opened the ten of clubs against the six-club contract. What was the significance of this open ing? First, West would be unlikely to make such an opening if he had three trumps-he would hope that in some way his ten of clubs might be established. Neither would he lead ten, holding the jack, ten and a small club as he might thus give up his only chance to win a club trick.
 With this in mind, declarer pro- ceeded to play the hand by win ming the first trick in dummy with the ace of clubs, cashing the ace of diamonds, and then leading the

 THE PRIVATE PAPERS OF A CUB
 REPORTER
 For MEr. and Mrs. F. ID. Roose- velt's scrapbook:
 From Lord Charnw0Od's Abraham Lincoln" A biography. Page IA: "On March 20, 1865, period of bright sunshine seems to have be- gun in Lincoln's life. Robert Lincoln had some time before finished his course at Harvard, and his father had written to Grant modestly ask ing him if he could suggest the way, accordant with discipline and good example, in which the young man could best see something of military life. Grant immediately had. him on to his staff, with a commission as captain"
 From "Abraham Lincoln" a His- tory by John G. Nicolay and John Hay Volume x, Chapter XI, pages 213-214. Published by the Century Company, New York, 1890.
 Lincoln to Grant, Jan. 19, 1865: Please read and answer this letter as though I was not President, but only a friend. My son, now in his twenty-second year, having gradu- ated at Harvard, wishes to see some thing of the war before it ends. I do not wish to put him in the ranks, nor yet to give him a com mission, to which those who have already served long are better en- titled, and better qualified to hold. Could he, without embarrassment to you or detriment to the service, go into your military family with some nominal rank, I, and not the public, furnishing his necessary means? If no, say so without the least hesitation, because I am as anxious and as deeply interested that you shall not be encountered as you can be yourself"
 Grant to Lincoln, Jan. 21, 1865: 'Your favor of this date in rela- tion to your son serving in some military capacity is received. l will be most happy to have him in my military family in the manner you propose. The nominal rank given him is immaterial, but I would sug- gest that of captain, as have three staff officers now, of consid- erable service, in no higher grade. Indeed, I have one officer with only the rank of Lieutenant who has been in the service from the be- ginning of the war. This, however, will make no difference, and I would still say give the rank of cap- tain. Please excuse my writing on a half sheet. I have no resource but to take the blank half of your let ter" The Presidents son therefore became a member of Grants staff with the rank of captain, and ac- quilted himself of the duties of that station with fidelity and honor.

Maddy Horn 10 Skate
As Pro Unless 1910
0Iympics Are Held
Holder Of Seven World
Records Will Appear
SIn CornivoI Here

:. Maddy Horn, a statuesque blond
who hurries from here to there on
ice more rapidly than any of her
species, still is clinging to for
lorn hope that what remains of
Finland will be able to stage the
Olympic games this year.
Miss Horn, who holds 7 of 10
women's speed skating titles, is here
as a feature attraction of the Ice
Carnival which launches a 3-day
engagement at Riverside Stadium
on Saturday, and the 29-year-old
Wisconsin girl is saying she'll turn
professional if the Olympics are
Shelved.
For some seasons now Maddy
has been compiling a gaudy collec-
ton of 276 medals and 46 trophies
but her ambition centered in being
picked on the United States Olym-
pic team and going to Europe. War
appears to be checking that goal,
so she intends chucking her anna
teur status and capitalizing on the
money angle of the ice industry.
Meanwhile, the Ice Carnival
staged for the benefit of the Wash
ington Society for the Blind, is
humping into trouble over the age
of Hazel Franklin, youthful English
star. Officials have questioned her
eligibility to appear under the Child
Labor Act, but those connected with
the ice show say they have proof
Miss Franklin, billed as Child
wonder" actually is 18 years old.

Hogan Scorches
Golf Field in
North.South
Opens Last Day 7 Up
On Sneod, RevoIto;;
Nelson Far Back
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
PINEHURST, N. c., March 21,-
The path was smoothed today for
Ben Hogan to turn what so far has
been a promising golf career into a
successful one with his first major
tournament victory.
Ben himself had done the most
vital smoothing by posting a record
total of 1873 for the first SO holes
OF the North-South open cham
plonship. That gave him working
margin of seven shots as the re-
duced field went into today's two
closing rounds.
But tournament officials have
sought to help him along in theu
own quiet fashion by placing him
IN the last threesome to leave the
starting tee.
Everything, therefore, appeared
to be up to Hogan. From the way
he's played for two days, without
ever a waver in his topnotch golf,
there didn't seem a chance in a
thousand that he'd fail to cash in
o-A 1Ai3o 6O'oCii oPpOi Illlllty.
When Benjamin fired his bril-
liant 66 in the first round on Tues
day there were a few skeptics who
claimed 1t was a break" but the
White Plains IN " star brought
even them over to his side by fol-
lowing up that first explosion of
sub-par golf with a 5-under-par 81
that left the crowd popeyed and
the rest of the field speechless.
Still, you can't say that 66s and
Cts are anything new in this 27-
year-old pros career. Biggest hit
ter for his weight since the brief
but spectacular days of Cyril Walker,
Hogan has played 35 rounds of
medal play since the first of the
year. Thirteen times over that
period he has gone in with scores
of SO or better.
Chief figures in the race for also
ran honors, and the slim chance of
catching Hogan, were Sam Snead
and Johnny Revolta.
They started this mornings third
round 7 shots back
Nelson, United States Open and
defending champion, was at 142,
with a good back view of the lad
who has been using to such telling
enect driver given him by Nelson.
