By WALTER D. HICKMAN Ml ERRY CHRISTMAS. That means the same thing whether on Main St. or on i Broadway. Tho actor colony in Indianapolis is smaller than usual, at tic's time of tho year, because the Murat and English's are dark. All the vaudeville houses, Keith’s.

All tho artists will do their regular shows today and will in this way help, to make other people happier. The stage people get lonesome and homesick for their own I Main St. or Broadway.

Rae Samuels, in private life, Morty Korkins, and her husband are the house guests of Mr. ami Mrs. Roltare Eggleston. At the Lyric and the Palace plans have been made to rnak© the actors happy on this day. There is one Mecca in this town today for every actor in tho city.

HE WAS BLIND, BUT VISIONED WONDERS Sightless Visit State Library and Read Masterpieces of English and Foreign Literature.

His face was pallid, expressionless. A slight movement of his head, however, showed why. I lis eyes were closed with that listfulness which Is peculiar to those who are hopelessly blind. He settled himself .cautiously at a table in tho State library and asked the llhrarfan at his elbow for a, certain book. She returned with a large volume and placed It before him. They say Balboa’s eyes lit up when he crossed a little rise in the mountains and saw, for the first time, the broad bosom of the Pacific, softly rolling in the bay miles below; a sight for which Balboa had spent most of his life. Face Illuminated But the historians and chroniclers had not then seen the light that illuminated the silent face of a blind youth when his fingers start to rove over the pages of a book in raised type/ It was a great novel he was reading. All the Irrelevant Images common to the normal eye were absent. Ills complete vision was freed to construct the background of the story without a single disturbing detail. , Pity not the blind.

who have not. had an opportunity to learn to read tho raised characters in the hundreds of books uoav contained in the State library*. The Braille revised system has now taken precedence over all other systems nnd most of the books are printed in it. - The characters do not follow tho outlines of the English letters, as in the all but obsolete lino system, but arc constructed of raised or embossed dots arranged in groups to represent, in the beginners class, the simple letters, and later on, for advanced readers, whole groitps of letters and words. According to librarians, the average blind reader ran read a page as quickly as we who see.can read a page of print. Reading Is done from left to right with the finger tips. A New World Ojsmed Tho whole range of English and foreign 'literatures is now open to the blind. The .Stale library, besides copies of nearly all the classics, h:is nearly all the modern and popular copyrights, including “The Sea Hawk,” “Growth of the Soli,” by Knute Hamson; Booth Tarkington’s "Penrod,” and other modern novels and non-fiction works. There is quite a library on the science of massage. said to be an ideal occupation for the blind. As for a blind person having his own library, it is quite out of the question. A copy of David Copperfield, which takes a dozen or more volumes because of the thickness of the pages, costs $64. Other smaller books cost on an average of from S2O to S3O. Because of the bulk of the books, the United States Post off ice Department charges no postage Avhen these books are shipped to libraries from publishers. The State library’s collection of books for the blind dates from about ioo*> and has been augmented at various times since then. The Braille system is in three grades. The beginning readers read characters identical to English type. As they advance, the characters are consolidated for prefixes, sulfixes and often for small words and those in most common use. The books are larger than ordinary, measuring from ten to fifteen inches high. The pages are of comparatively heavy paper. The little raised dots are pressed into the paper fixim the reverse side of the sheet by jneial dies. The page is then turned o\'er and the die is moved slightly upward and to the side and the second page printed on ihe hack of the first The movement of the die prevents the dots from interfering with one another. The blind man feels nothing but the raised dots. The depressions which make the dots on the other side of tho page his fingers cannot feel. Hundreds of blind students use the State library books daily. They are the happiest and, most grateful of all borrowers, librarians say.
