Blind Visitor To French front Detects Difference In Sound

' Of Shells As They Go Across

WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN FRANCE July . (Staff Correspondence of The Associated Press.) "-Blind himself, and bead of the British National Institute devoted principally' to n.en blinded in the war. Sir C. Arthur Pearson, of London, was recently a most interesting visitor at. the British front Hi enthusiasm for all he "saw" was unbounded, and he declared he would take back to the sightless men at home new words of encouragement as to how "their" army was carrying on. . Sir Arthur climbed the Vimy Ridge, and to his great delight some German shells broke so close they splashed him with mud and the party had to take .temporary refuge In a dug-out. "A man doesn't have to see to know when to duck, does he," laughed Sir Arthur in rejatlng the. incident that night. "I also find." he added, "that it doesnt take long to know when they are going and when they are coming." Difference in Sound. That is always a great source of entertainment to visitors in the fighting zone. At first the shells that are going over from the British guns swish along through the sullen air with a noise that is quite startling enough, but the sightseer "fortunate" enough to hear a Ger man missile "coming in" soon finds it sings a somewhat' different song. Sir Arthur aptly described it. "Our shells," he said, go with a bang and a whiz; the Germans come over with a whiz and a bang. It all 1opends upon the position of the whiz." . Sir Arthur was deeply impressed by the work of the guns. He remained with some of the batteries for a long time and listened to their noisy multerings with a keen appreciation of all .tt.at was going on about him. He

was particularly delighted to hear

above the reverberating ecnoes me songs of larks always to be remembered by the soldiers on this front as their ever-cheerful companions ' of trench and battle fields. Gets Meaning of War. Trudging over some of the older battlefields of the Somme, walking through the trenches, and standing in the higher places where the panorama of battle spread below him, Sir Arthur drank in the atmosphere of the war the meaning of it all. He "saw" the "tanks" in repose and heard them at drill, he stood outside a prison camp and visualized the round-capped Germans within the barbed wire barriers. He asked a guard If any ot the prisoners ever attempted to escape. "Escape, sir!" replied the old sergeant; "why. sir, you couldn't drive 'em away; they likes being prisoners, sir, they does.". The ruined cities of the Somme, Bapaume and Peronne, affected Sir Arthur deeply. Reckoning Day Near. "I wish the whole world all but the Germans who already know what they have done could come and stand tn the grand squares of these cities as 1 did today." he exclaimed, "and see and feel the desolation and the wanton destruction. They are ghost-like, these cities of the dead. I knew them on motor trips of other days, when they were alive and I could see, and I could picture the scene today as if I were looking at a painting. The Ger

mans will find, however, the day of reckoning is near at hand. I shall take back words of great cheer to the men at St Dunstan's.'' Entertained by officers of all ranks, Sir Arthur declared his days and nights had been filled to overflowing. No visitor ever followed the workings of the vast British army machine with quicker, keener appreciation and understanding than he. He was gratified to find in the army a similar Interest and appreciation in the .work at St. Dunstan's for the blinded soldiers and sailors. Sir Arthur told of the resentment he felt when unthinking people referred to St. Dunstan's as a "home" for the blind as if the blind were to be segregated there for the rest of their days. Not Home for Blind. "It is not, a home for the blind." he protested, "and I do not believe tn 'homes' for the blind. St. Dunstan's Is an institution where those who cannot see are helped to equip themselves o retake their places in the ordinary walks and affairs ot life. Often de

spondent at first, they are set some simple task and when they find how easily it is done, a spirit of regeneration seems to eome over them. They catch the spirit of accomplishment and thereafter nothing Is too great for them to attempt. "One of the most despondent men with whom we have had to deal was a blinded Tommy.' who had been a sort of steam fitter, or househeatlng expert None of the ordinary trades appealed to him and he felt as if he were altogether done for. Suddenly I asked him how he would like to go back to his old job. He shook his head sadly. It couldn't be done. I told him we would see about that. I wrote to his old firm, and one of the partners came to see me. I asked if they would take 'Tommy' back. I was assured the firm would like to do so, but they could not see how a blind man could fill any post in their business. I obtained a promise, however, that if I could assist the soldier to such an extent that I felt he was entitled to a trial they would do so. "I immediately sent for all the available text-books on house heating I could find. I even got two volumes from America. . The end of the story Is very simple. I had a letter from the ttrm a few days ago saying 'Tommy' was ' receiving nearly double his old salary, was of more value to them than he had ever been, or, they believed, ever would (Jave been."

MOVIE ACTRESSES AND THEIR HAIR

In tact, many are leading ladies just because of their attractive looks. Inqulry among them discloses the fact that they bring out all the natural beauty of their hair by careful shampooing, not with any soap or makeshift, but with a simple mixture by putting a teaspoonful of canthrox (which they get from the druggist) in a cup of hot water and applying this Instead of soap. This full cup of shampoo liquid la enough so it is easy to apply it to all the hair instead oft just the top of the head. .After its use, the hair dried rapidly with uniform color.
