Handcuff Key Fashioned in Vain by City Prisoner

Bank Bandit Suspect Fails to Get Chance at Flight on Trip to Jail. “E’en the best laid plans of mice and men gang aft agley,” and, as a result, Samuel Goldstein, Ft. Wayne, bank bandit suspect, today languished in an Indiana state prison cell, musing upon the vagaries of fate. Had Dame Fortune not turned her back on Goldstein Friday, he might have been at liberty, although the object of a determined man hunt. While making the Marion county jail his temporary habitat, as bankers victimized in recent holdups vainly sought to identify him. Goldstein, paroled from prison only two months ago, occupied his time by skilfully fashioning a tiny handcuff key from a scrap of tin. Friday afternoon, while being taken in a state police car to the statehouse, preparatory to returning to prison to serve out his unexpired term, Goldstein was observed by patrolman Oscar Burkett to be fumbling with his handcuffs. Investigating, Burkett discovered the key. After a little ‘lecture” by Captain Matt Leach on the error of his ways, Goldstein was taken on to Michigan City under heavy guard. His pal, Clifford Mohler, who won a parole when he simulated the appearance-of a tuberculosis sufferer by drinking shellac in prison, today was to be taken to Kentucky to face charges in connection with robbery of a Gravel Switch (Ky.) bank, which, state police say, Mohler admits.

INVENTION MAY HELP BLIND TO READJYSQUND Photoelectric Cells Used to Detect Different Forms and Figures. Bp Science Service BERLIN, Sept. I.—An invention which promises to allow the blind to read and which thus may become a boon* to those without sight has been made by George Schutkowski, a Berlin engineer. It is based on what the inventor calls “optical congruency.” It applies photoelectric cells, now used for detection of differing intensities of light, to detection of differing forms and figures. From a letter, or figure, two corresponding pictures are produced by photogaphy. Projected on top of each other, the two pictures are completely covered. Film Put in Drum In the device of Schutkowski, a negative film of a common printed alphabet is put into a revolving drum, w-hich has windows at regular intervals. An optical lens combination, projects the original black print alphabet onto the window’s of the drum, in which the negative picture is located in reverse position. When the projected black print letter falls on the proper negative of the drum, complete darkness is produced behind the film, for the fraction of a second. A photoelectric cell, placed behind the drum, consequently is in darkness for this time. Attached to the photoelectric cell is an arresting magnet, which for the fraction of the second stops the motion of the drum and connects the current of an electric phonograph to a loud-speaker. The photograph record has at the -given place the corresponding letter in speech. Letter Becomes Sound So the printed letter is reproduced as sound. The blind man thus hears the letter which is printed in the original print. It also is possible to let him feel it instead of hearing. To this purpose the current moves the letters of a Braille alphabet which are fixed on levers. The same principle of course could be applied also to translating letters into secret codes, or letters into fig- ! ures, or letters of a language into the sound of another one. But the j chief application projected is for the use of the blind to allow them to hear or feel ordinary print. ANTELOPES REVEL IN PETRIFIED FOREST Arizona Park Will Be Show Place for Animals.

Thompson of the division of wild life studies of the office of national parks, buildings, and reservations, after inspecting the petrified forest last summer, recommended that development of the monument as a real antelope preserve be inaugui rated this summer.
