Sight Opens Up New World for Woman of us

A new world has opened Tor
Mary Brooks at the age of lis.
Blind for many years because Of
cataracts formed on both her
eyes, vision has been restored
through surgery at Gallinger Hos
pital to the aged colored woman,
who well remembers when her
father was a slave in Prince
| Georges County.
! But the operation has meant
much more than being able to see,
doctors told a reporter today.
During the last few weeks,
she's a completely changed per-
son." one of them explained. Now
she recognizes people who come
up to her bed and she seems much
brighter. +"
The doctors believe it took her
about two weeks to get used to
seeing, and to develop confidence
in her ability to see.
They first learned the extent
to which her vision had returned
about two weeks ago, when Mrs.
Brooks spoke to Miss Charlotte
Dyer. %, colored. a practical
nurse, and commented that Miss
Dyer was wearing blue dress.
The patient was brought to
Gallinger about two months ago
by officials of the Little Sisters Of
the Poor Home, where she has
lived since 1912. She was brought
in specifically for treatment of
the areries of her legs. but the
Sisters asked If anything could
be done about her eyes.
Doctors of the Gallinger eye
service removed the lens from her
right eye, which had formed into
the apaque cataract. The opera
ton is not unusual. but "her age
certainly makes it an unusual
case,' a doctor commented.
Mrs. Brooks said she was born
"in Prince Georges County. Md,
where my pappy was a chauffeur
he had master"
She didn't remember when she
was born, but sisters at the home
list her birthdate as December %,
1884. Within the next few days
she will be sent back to the home.
Doctors said she eats a double
portion of every meal, which
makes food her main interest"
But she also likes to talk" Miss
Dyer added. Mostly. she talks
about people she knew long ago.
And when she starts. we can't get
her to stop"
This morning, doctors presented
her with her first pair OF glasses.
After putting them on. she looked
around and murmured. "Oh. it's
so bright. So bright"
To test her improved vision,
doctor held up a piece of fruit
and asked Mary if she could
identify it.
Yes" she said, "it's my orange.
Put it down"

Natures Children
BY lillion Cox Athey

h1Wl.
All Of the armed forces Of New
Zealand were called Kiwis. They
were named after the strangest bird
In the world. Only the airmen
resented being named for a flight
less bird. but they painted the in
sigma on all their planes and prop
erty.
Kiwis, are heavy, bobtailed birds
with an extraordinary long beak
sturdy legs and two inch naked
wings hidden under the hair-like
plumage.
Long before the arrival of the
white man, the Maoris named the
bird kiwi after its shrill whispering
cry keeeee-wheee. They firmly be-
lieved the bird was under the pro-
lection of the forest god Tame. But
this did not prevent them using
the bird for food and his heavy
hair-like plumage for clothing. A
robe woven of native fax and kiwi
feathers wore well for 200 years.
Upon the arrival of the English
pioneer in New Zealand disaster
fell upon the shy kiwi. The bird
had no natural foe to trouble him.
He spent his days in dark rabbit
like burrows, his nights smiling the
soft ooze for worms.
The English became homesick and
lonely for sport. He soon intro
duced foreign birds and animals
into New Zealand. One great mis-
take was made when he introduced
English rabbits and hares. They
multiplied so fast they ate UP farm
and garden crops. Then stoats and
weasels were brought in to control
them, but no natural enemy to
check the control agents. weasels
soon discovered the kiwi and re-
duced the vast numbers quickly.
To add further trouble, the pio-
neers introduced American and
European trout into all the streams
and permitted nature to take its
course. For some inexplicable
reason the dull brownish gray
feathers were thought to be a ir-
resistable lure for fish. The kiwi
was deprived of his plumage.
Kiwis became so desirable for
private collections and ZOOS the
birds were almost wiped out until
a law in 1908 protected them.
The kiwi hen lays two mammoth
eggs a year. Just before one is
laid she staggers about like a sailor
in gale. The egg is one third her
length and weight. Papa kiwi
makes q shallow nest for the prize
and incubates it for 80 days. Going
without food, baths and exercise.
At the end he weighs two pounds
less and is slightly larger than his
black fuzzy offspring.
Neither parent feeds the young.
After six days of fasting the baby
toddleS off to sniff the ooze and
probe for worms. He eats his eight
and a half each day. In walking,
the hwi places one foot in front of
the other like a tigh-rope walker
his rear swaying like can can
dancer. The kiwi Is given to grow
ling when disturbed.
