STRANGE WORLD GREETS GIRL AS SHE GAINS SIGHT Milwaukee, Wds.. — (U.R) —Miss Marcella Calkins. 20-year-old Chetek, Wis., girl, who entered a Milwaukee hospital, blind since birth, will return home soori with her normal sight restored. Six delicate operatons were nee eseary to remove the capsules witch blocked the passage of light into her eyes. Now she looks upon a world which has no meaning until she touches objects with her fingers. Friends, animals, books, even such simple objects as safety-pins are unteeognizfible fjo- her until she can touch them, for although she can see perfectly she cannot understand the images which are thrown upon her retina until her touch explains them to her. One of her greatest difficulties is with colors. Marcella declares that when blind she had a very definite idea of what red, green and blue and the rest of them looked like. But the reality left her gasping. This new worl<> of Marcella's is t lied with such surprises. “One of the greatest,” she says, “is the looks of my friends. I had very strong mental pictures of how people looked, but about half the time I find that those pictures were just opposite from the reality. How did I make my mental images? I think mostly from the voice. The whole personality helped too. And the feel of people’s hands.” Marcella is almost cured now, after two months in a hospital. She has travelled about the streets of the city, has seen a movie, she begun to get acquainted with the ‘‘funny little marks” which will eventually take the place of the Braille script for the blind to which she has been accustomed. — o —— Muncie. —(U.R) —Mrs. Pauline Storer, 74, who has missed but few of Delaware county’s fairs since the first one was held when she was seven months old, attended this year's fair and recalled the days when displays of new model buggies attracted much attention as new models of automobiles now do. Scottsburg — (U.R>—The State Forestry reservation of 4,701) acres located ten miles south of Scottsburg is to be increased by thirty acres. This is to be accomplished through the addition of a tract purchased from Mr. and Mrs. James D. Maris, of Indianapolis. The new tract is located in the southern part of Finley township.

James Leroy Bottomley was born at Oglesby, 111., on the 23rd of April, 1900. Now that he has attained the ripe age of 28 he is one of the best ball players in captivity and the idol of St. Louis fandom. Despite extra heavy competition the Cardinals have managed to stay atop the National League procession and one of the major reasons for their success is found at first base. "Sunny Jim” not only fields his position nobly but is a leader in runs batted in, extra bases and a number of other departments. He's a "ball player’s ball player” is Jim Bottomley and that is a distinction held by few stars of the diamond. His abilities are recognized by his conferres as well as the spectators and no one yet has accused James Leroy of grandstanding. The statisticians have never figured it out but Bottomley probably has won more games by a prodigious swat in the ninth inning than any other slugger. He is always dangerous in the pinch. He and Frankie Frisch, working together so capably, give the Cards the best unit on the right side of the diamond in baseball. Came From Sand-Lots Bottomley came to the Cards in 1920 off the sand-lots —a raw, gangly recruit. He was sent on option to the Mitchell club of the Dakota League and there struck a .312 gait with the stick. The next year he was promoted to faster company—the Houston club of the Texas league—and there he fell into an unaccountable slump. His average for 130 game# was .227. But the Syracuse team in the International league liked him well

Golf Now Interfering With Education, Will Rogers Tells High School Pupils

Beverly Hills, California August 15. __(U.p>—Will Rogers, cowboy humorist-, is convinced golf is interfering with education. In a foreword which he wrote for The Watchtower, the first year book published by the Beverly Hills High School, he said it would be impossible to enlarge the high school building “because it might interfere with the golf links". His foreword follows: "This is not really a Foreword, it’s a warning. Every book or magazine should have a warning, the same as we have at railroad crossings where there are signs warning the trains to look out for the cars. The elecrtic lines out there killed more people than the war. They don't run fast until they get near a crossing— and they never will Hit one person in a car, they can't monkey their time away with only one they wait for a load. Warns Against Reading "But that's got nothing to do with this warning, this one is telling you to look out for this magazine. You are liable to sneak up on it and read it before you know you have done it if

PROTECTION OF WAR REFUGEES BEFORE LEAGUE Geneva I .—(U.R) The launching of a Magna Charta for a million and half of war refugees scattered all over the world is one of the difficult tanka which the September assembly of the League of Nations will have to solve. Up to the present time the League has confined its efforts largely to finding employment and (Macing on a self-supporting basis these derelicts of the Great War. The great bulk of them are Russians, Armen aus and Syrians. Syrians. While there still remain about 250,000 for whom employment has not been found, the League, now finds itself confronted with a new problem of juridical rights for the million and more who have already been placed in various countries. The great bulk of these, for various reasons, can neither be repatStated or naturalized. They have neither country of their own, juridical standings in the country where they have found employment, consular protection, ar even means of identification except the "Nansen I>assport" which ha-s granted under the auspices of the league. The problem which the league will now undertake to solve is to draw up a sort of Magna Charta fixing the juridical, political and other rights which these derelicts should have in the various countries where they have found new homes. Naturally, the leagu will have no authority to impose this Magna Charta on the various nations where these refugees arc installed but it will bo recommended to each nation for adoption . The general principles for this •“declaration of refugees rights” lias already been prepared by a confer ence under presidency of Dr. Nansen.

enough to expend SI,OOO for him. Bottomley performed so admirably that in August the Cards paid an unnamed sum and sent three players in exchange for the first baseman. With the Cardinals Bottomley replaced Jacques Fournier, later with Brooklyn. Sunny Jim was a success from the first. In only one year since 1922 Bottomley has failed to hit .3&0 and then, in 1925, he averaged .299. His best year was in 1923 when he batted at a .371 stride. This year he may set new records for himself. Cocky Yet Modest Bottomley is a strange combination of cockiness and modesty. In fact it is rather remarkable that his head has not been turned by the adulation he receives in St. Louis. When he appears at the plate in a tight place the crowd takes up a chant. “There goes the old ball game.” Frequently, indeed, there the ball game goes. But whether he rolls out to the pitcher or propels the ball out of the park Bottomley will come back to the bench smiling. With his cap tilted far on the back of bis head and walking with an exaggerated sailor's gait he will approach his team-mates and "kid” with them. Bottomley looks lazy and in truth that adjective might well be applied to him off the field. But while playing he is filled with pepper- and constantly encourages his mates. When Rogers Hornsby managid the Cards he said that Bottomley was the greatest hustler on the club. “I’d rather see Jim Bottomley at the plate when a run ik badly needed than any other player I could name,” Hornsby said.
