Appleby, general prohibition agent In ehurge of New York and New Jersey. Big Shipment Enters. Already one big shipment has been mud' to this country under the provisions of the supplemental law. (Jin valued in bootleg circle at $3.0(XMKX was reimported from Cuba about two weeks ago. The distillery which made the shipment had gone out of business, a fact that apparently was not discovered by the government agents until the gin had arrived here. A special permit had to be obtained from Washington before It could be stored in a local warehouse, pending its withdrawal for medicinal purposes on Jerinlt from the director's ofliv. Prohibition agents were mystified in checking up the cargo to note on the manifest 112 empty barrels. They bnve not yet been nhle to make out the reason for the empties, but Fedrnl Inhibition Director Italph A. lhiy regarded it us a suspicious circuni9tHnce. The passage of the Wlllls-OninpKdl law. ostensibly for the puriM'se of killing medicinal beer, has made ltiHslble for the thirsty to be supplied with goii liquors for a much longer Ieiiod than apieared likely before the measure was adopted, prohibition officials said. In some quarters the provision for the reimport of liquors was considered as a "Joker." Stored in Other Countries. Tlie law provided "that the comndsvioner may authorize .v return to the.l'nlted States, under such regulations and conditions as he may preTi! e, any distilled spirits of Ameri(hu production exported free of tax liD'.l r Imported In original packages

The prohibition department plans to scrutinize carefully the applications for perndts to reimport. What is regarded as another "Joker" In the supplemental law is the provision which exempts payment of tax and penalty for distilled spirits upon which the tax has not been paid which are "lost by theft, accidental fire or other casualty while In possession of a common carrier subject to the transportation act of VJ'20 or the merchant marine act, 10120, or If lost by theft from a distillery or other oonded warehouse."

LINER IS UNSINKABLE

Might Float If Cut in Two, Belief of Experts. Lone Star State on Maiden Voyage to . Aid American Sea CommerceCaptain Engages Orchestra to Play Jazz. New York. Keen competition has developed in the race for supremacy on the seas. The latest addition to the fleet that Is keeping the American Aug to the forefront in the sea commerce of the world is the steamship Lone Star State, recently delivered from her builders to the United States Lines, which lias just sailed on her maiden voyage to Bremen. In the Lone Star State, as In other passenger carrying vessels constructed under government supervision, the element of safety was of prime consideration. It is declared that the new liner Is practically unslnkable. Originally planned as a transport and later designated to act as a hospital ship to bring back American wounded from Trance, the Lone Star State was built torpedo proof as nearly as human Ingenuity could make her. The vessel has thirteen water-tight compartments. Shipping men who have inspected her have declared that even if she were cut in twain each half would remain afloat. From the standpoint of comfort, nothing has been left undone to make her u luxurious vehicle for sea travel. She carries two classes of passengers, first and third. Full attention has been given to the cuisine and amusement facilities on the Lone Star State. The chefs and the kitchen personnel have been carefully selected with a view of rivaling the dining service of a firstclass hotel ashore. ' . Captain Frank T.

CARE RUINS FISHES' 'MORALE' Protected Salmon Grow Too Tame, Canadian Parliament Is Told by Expert, Ottawa, Ont. Government fish hatcheries have ruined the "morale' of the salmon of Itritish Columbia, according to the story told to the house of commons by A. YV. Nelll. It seems that when-the salmon come into the world at the fish hatcheries they are guarded against all enemies and Mr. Nelll says they lose their protective Instinct. So. when the salmon has come of age and Is sent out in the cold world he is as "tame as a cat," to quote Mr. Nelll, and when he meets an enemy he "stands with his mouth open and accepts murder as If such a thing were foreordained."

Friends of James and Joel Cheatwood, twins, who celebrated their ninetieth birthday anniversary recently near here, are prone to dispute the claim of the Woodvile, Ohio, twins, William H. and Henry Hruns to the title of "oldest living twins In the United States" at the age of eighty-eight. The recipe for long life of the Kansas twins is similar to that of the Ohioans "work." Each of the Cheatwood twins owns a farm and works on It daily. So striking is the resemhlance between the Cheatwood twins, that when they don their "Sunday clothes" and have their beards trimmed, it Is difficult to tell them apart. Old Hand Press.

BRAILLE TYPE

POPULAR Work of Schools for the Blind Is Simplified by Adoption of j iJriorm System. DOT&TAKE PLAGE OF LINES EnabIesBIlnd to Receive Training Thrflffcif Which They May Become Self-Supporting Many Books 1 ' -Published. -r. New 1'orkuVThe Urallle system ol embossetl type has now been adopter by all schools, for the blind in thb country, and since 1019 no new boot has been embossed in any other type Dozens of embossed types for reading by the linger have been designet from time to time; the first practica one was devised in France yeanago by Valentin Ilauy. Three sys terns, iretained popularity for man years, but as this made it necessarj for the blind to learn three different types, the leading educators of tht country decided to make one system universal, and unanimously decided on the Braille. Much- Ingenuity, effort and money have been expended in devising these systems 1 enable the blind to read and receive training through which theymay. become self-supporting. All may be divided into two groups those composed of lines and those composed of 'points. In general the line types, which came first, were imi tations of characters that had survived as best adapted to reading by the eye. The point types, the characters of which are merely different arrange ments.and numbers of similar point. or dots, represent arbitrary system justified both as being generally wort tangible than the lines, and as belnv writable as . well a readable, by tin blind themselves. Tlie point systems have gradually driven ont the line types, with the exception of the Moon type,, "which Is so large and coarse that anybody having the least pa tience can learn to read with the finger. , ' - Agreed on a Midway Type. Tlie type adopted Is called the Ite vised .Braille, l1, as the British have been using this 'type in two forms, 'one in full spf Hing and other highly -'contracted with many arbitrary abbreviations. As textbooks and literature should be models of good Jusage, the leading educators of the ryind in this country agreed or a type between the two. Tills Ameri can grade is a simplified type and car be read by. anyone who knows eithei type. ; - The music notations for the blind, are now thP same everywhere.- as are the mathematical and the chemical notations wherever . Knglish is nsed. in this way duplication of scores ant! tables may be avoided through international exchange. Already Uns different books have been published in this uniform type. The printing of embossed books for the blind began with the founding of the first school in this country in ls::o. Books were made as funds were available until 1S7J). when congress granted the American Printing House for the Blind at Louisville an annual subsidy of i. This house at once be came the greatest producer of its kind In the world, and continued to be such into the present century, when the number of blind pupils in the schools drawing upon this source for boks had more than doubled. The cost of production and the increase in demand eventually made the output of this house insutlicient, and In the emergency sexeral of tlie schools put up emergency printine presses and assisted one another. ne endowed enterprise set about manufacturing writing appliances and table games for the blind and selling them at less than cost. In 101!. however, congress increased it grant to the American Printing House from .SUMXK) to which made pos sible the enlargement and improvement of the plant and the increase in the number of books to each school. Spreading Knowledge. In a report on the work to educate the blind and distribute books among them, Kdgar K. Allen, director of the Perkins Institute and Massachu School for the Blind, writes: "Most schools are glad to cirrijnte their embossed books beyond their own pupils and do so as far as they ran But the reading hunger of the j blind outside of institutions is chietly j satisfied by ciriilating libraries lo- ' cated here and there throughout the country. Libraries ami schools Interested have collected much literature, and some authors have been Induced to meet the cost of publishing a book J rtr two In Braille. "By far the largest number of blind and, partly blind. pupllsjn the United

MOST

States, as elsewhere, äueüu th,- rdential schools commonly called Institutions. There are now 4.1 such schools, with a total attendance of about r,(". The day-schoi movement started- in Chicago considered all its pupils blind, and taught them as such for years until in a few cities certain of the semi-blind were segregated and taught as semi-sighted pupils, chiv'tly through the eye instead of the fingers. "The movement for such segregation is scientifically correct, and represents a grent educational advance in tlie proper methods of reaching children not suffering from blindness Hit from seriously defective eyesight."

M;e attempted holdup foiled with a pair of pliers, another holdup in which the robber found his victim without money and a third that resulted in a highwayman ohtaining $dl summed up one night's banditry. When .1. M. Sloape. a for-hire driver, stopped to Yepalr his -;ir two men attempted to hold him up. Sloane pointed a pair of pliers at the bandits, who tied. Their flight is believed to have been hastened by the fact that Sloane had his coat off and a driver's badge worn on ht vest was plainly visible. WHY MEN PLAY POKER Science has taken a hand in the .rreat American game of draw poker. Columbia university profesors fain would learn the complex that causes nen to sit all night with cards and hips, risking perfectly good coin of he realm in the somewhat hazardous ccupation of gtfrssing what the other fellow is holding. The department of usychology of the university recently ailed for volunteers to sit in at a little game that was observed and -tudicd by the instructors, says tlie an Francisco Chronicle. Poker faces, -ctietlons of the fellow who drew to a pair and filled, how a man holds his aiouth while betting the works on a bobtail flush, and other psychological information was obtained. "The result of the observations will be made public In a work on practical psychology. When the learned professors et down to cases they probably will find men play poker for the same reason they watch automobile races, airplane stunts, trapeze performances, or anything else involving the element of uncertainty. To a farmer who complained to him about the taxes ami asked who would raise corn at 40 cents and other crops to. feed the state ""when you get ill. them boys that education1" Coventor Hyde has written a reply tlcjt covers the Case about as well as it can be covered in brief form, says the St. Louis' Gloht-Democrat. "Nine of every ten of the families that "move to tvn from the country," says the governor, "will tell you that ' 'pMioy moved to get their children Into a better school." He makes the'; point that the farms need these families and declares that better farin conditions better schools, ami better roads would do more than to chert' 'this injurious movement. It would; he predicts, turn the tide the other way and cause, thousands of families now living in fhe towns to move back to the farms. According to a report of the Cnitcd States Department of Agriculture, the work of the seed-eating binN last winter saved the farmers of Ohio about :;.KKfMl. This represents the enhanced :.lue of crops due to the destruction of weed seeds This winter our busy little allies probably will duplicate their good -work. A iloch of tree sparrows or juncoes or a covey of bob w hite is very interesting when it is noted in the snowy fields. It is even more interesting when one understands that each bird in seeking to satjisfy Its own hunger Is working to f . m m . make tlie earth more productive for human requirements. In a speech In Boston. Mass., Secretary of Agriculture Wallace said: "We jare approaching that period which comes in the lift? of everv nation when !we must determine whether we shall jttrive for a well-rounded, self-sustaining national life in which there shall j be a fair balance between industry and agriculture, or whether, as so many na tions in the past have done, we shall sacrifice our agriculture fo"r the building of cities and expect our foi I to he produced not by independent farmers. but by men and women of the peasant type."
