1t would not even be necessary
to touch such peg board with the
fingers. 1t might be worn under the
clothing against the skin.
With the aid of acoustics, too, il
ought to be possible to work out a
better reading machine for the blind
that would allow them to read the
ordinary printed word Only 20
different sounds-say musical notes
again-would be needed for the
whole alphabet.
AS such a device passed over a
printed line the blind man would hear
different musical notes corresponding to
the different letters.
AS may be realized, in this system
the simple and commonly-used words
could soon be recognized by the rapid
sequence Of tones rather than by in
dividual letters.
II the blind person could do this, it
would only be a feat already performed
by any experienced telegrapher or radio
operator. These men seldom hear the
signals letter by letter They recognize
whole words or even groups of words and

For simple objects it

Russia's War Output Up
40 Per Cent Since 1910

LONDON.-R great arse
nal in the Urals is no longer merely
a plan for the future; it has be-
come a reality.
The writer has just obtained
authoritative data identical with
that which have been gladdening the
heart of Premier Josef Stain. 1t
relates to production in the Urals
and shows that vital war supplies
are now rolling off the assembly
lines in Russia's eastern factories.
Some British and American eco
nomic experts, before the Soviet
alliance, had very definite ideas of
Russia's productive potential. To
their credit, they FASTENED to admit
that their assessment underestimate
ed Soviet resources.
Again they have had to amend
their Russian economic forecasts.
Who could have predicted that
Russian production in January, 1912,
would be 40 per cent in excess of
the total for June, 1910?
There are no ifs or butts about
this figure. 1t is total Russian pro-
duction, not just a local increase
for the Urals.
BY spring, the writer predicts, the
increase will have jumped to so per
cent.
Mr.. Stain in his last five-year plan
envisaged the Nazi attack on Rus
STA. He planned his resistance. By
his planning he has made this re-
sistance possible.

Bread as Toast

Bread gains in flavor and pleasure
In eating when toasted; it is also
more digestible after toasting, espe-
cially for the aged, the infant, and
all weakened digestion or peristal-
sis; bread should be sliced only as
used, and all breads should be sliced
more thinly; before purchasing, look
at the type of loaf and select one
which does not hump at the top;
study the spread-area of the slice,
so that there will be less waste, in
toasting or spreading, and also a
wider, better-proportioned spread
ing surface.

Yank Seamen Row
81 Days in Open
Boat I'm Pacific
Survivors of Torpedoed US.
Ship Heroes in Real
Epic of the Sea.

WASHINGTON.-A Ifeboat bear
ing Is American merchant seamen
from a torpedoed steamer has
reached a tiny South Seas island aft
er 3l-day voyage over $500 miles
Of lonely sea-a cruel journey that
ranks as an open boat epic.
The boat was one of two which
set off when the 7,000-ton steamer
Prusa, owned by the Lykes Broth
ers steamship line of Houston, Tex
as, was torpedoed 100 miles from
Honolulu at $50 a. m, on Deem
Der 10. =.
With the cold fury that holds a
seaman when a good ship is de-
stroyed, Capt. G. H. Boy stood in the
stern of one of the boats and
watched the Prusa list and finally
60 under. Then he turned and shout
ed to his chief mate and they set
their course.
100 Miles From Honolulu.
They were, they calculated, some
100 miles off Honolulu, but their best
chance of reaching land seemed to
be to make for a distant group of
islands to the west rather than risk
waters infested by submarines such
as the japanese prowler that had
sent their vessel down with torpe
do that killed eight men.
The men at the oars fell to their
task and the boats were off on their
desperate voyage.
Five days later, the chief mate
and his men, weak with hunger and
fatigue, discovered to their dismay
that the other boat was gone. Cap
tain Boy and his little crew, it
seemed, had joined the legion of 9TH
ers who fought the Pacific with moth
ing.
Recently there came from Well
ington, New Zealand, word of the
successful outcome of one of the he
roic struggles in the annals of the
seattle story of how Captain Boy
and his men had fought their way
over 2,400 miles of water under the
blazing sky and with rations daily
growing simmer, to safety on tiny
Nikunau island, one of the British
inundated Gilbert group, without the
loss of man.
Picked up by Coast Guard.
A second officer had left Nikunau
and made contact with British COM
munications. The other day, a mes
sage was relayed to former u. S.
Rep. ]. George Stewart, of Whining
ton, by the Tampa Interoceanic
Steamship company, owner of the
torpedoed 7,0OO-ton freighter Prusa,
that his son, Frank H. Stewart, %,
one of the crew, was safe on the
little island.
The other survivor from this dis
trict is James c. Higgins, whose
mother, Mrs. Margaret Higgins, of
4248 North 18th street, also received
word of his safety.
The chief mate and his section of
the crew some time after the boats
became separated, had been picked
up by a coast guard cutter when
they were sighted by scouting planes
that dropped food to them. They
were taken to Honolulu, where they
told what had happened up to the
time they lost contact with Captain
Boys boat.

Galleries Needed

The number of Galleries needed
daily depends on your phssical &C
tivity. If you eat more fats and
carbohydrates than your body needs
for heat and energy, they are con-
verted into fat and stored in the
body to be used as fuel at some fu-
ture time. This does not apply to
proteins, B vitamins and minerals.

Own Doctor

Animals, by instinct, knew the val

imals can be their own doctors, but
only if allowed to roam the fields,
forest or jungles to get the medicine
they need. In some ZOOS, when an
animal gets sick he is given sup
ply of the plants and edibles of his
native land, and in these he finds the
needed medicine and cures himself.

Cats can take milk if it is given
to them early in the morning, at
least three hours before they are
given their solid food. To avoid
many of the skin troubles and fall

cats. A teaspoon each day to a
grown cat and half that amount to
a kitten under six months is suffi-
cient.
