SIGHT IS GIVEN GIRL 9, BLIND ALL HER LIFE Strange World Appears in Place of Darkness as Operation Succeeds. P-’i Uni led Prn BELLAIRE, 0., Oct. 30.—The world was a wonderland today to Edna Goddard, age 9, who stared rapturously at strange objects which she had conjured differently in a life of blindness. The skill of a surgeon gave Edna sight which had been blotted out at birth by a double cataract. “Everything seems so funny,” she laughed gleefully, looking at her mother. “Even mamma seems strange. She seemed different before.” The generosity of local civic clubs and the skill of Dr. Leo Covert, neighbor of the Goddards, opened up the wonderland for Edna. She had been born blind. As she learned to walk, she also learned the ways of the blind, how she must grope her way about and depend upon her accentuated sense of hearing and touch to safeguard herself from danger. She learned how to read from the raised alphabet. Her parents said she never complained. The Goddards were poor, unable to take Edna to a specialist. Civic clubs interested themselves in her case. They consulted Dr. Covert, who offered to perform the operation. When the were removed Thursday, Edna shrieked in childish joy. “I can see,” she said. But everything seemed different to what she had conjured in her world of darkness. Color particularly was puzzling. "I didn’t know that eyes were of different colors,” she said. “Everything is so bright and different. It’s wonderful.” Today she was learning the names of chairs and other objects about her home. Although she had known them by touch, in sight they were strange.

YEAH, THAT IS WRONG Prisoner Irked; Drunks Stole His Watch in Jail. OKLAHOMA CITY, Oct. 30 I Righteous indignation seethed from a letter written Attorney-General J. Berry King by a prisoner in the Wilburton Jail, one Pat McCarroll. i He wrote: “I had an epileptic fit and I was taken to the jail one day. My watch was stolen from me one night by a j lot of drunks. What is the use of a law if a lot of drunks can break the law in jail, I say.”

ROUTS COOP RAIDERS Chicken Thieves Flee When Shot Is Fired in Air. J. A. Niccum, 1101 Bacon street, was awakened when a buzzer burglar alarm, attached to a chicken house in the rear yard, sounded. Niccum armed himself with a shotgun and emerged at the rear of the house in time to see two men, one with three chickens under

his arm, leaving the back yard. Niccum ordered them to halt, and when tthey refused, he fired one shot into the air. The thief dropped the chickens. Niccum began a search of the neighborhood. Near his home he found two girls seated in a small coupe. Niccum hurried to a telephone to call police, but when he returned, the girls had fied, leaving the coupe at the curb.
