BLIND GIRL LEADS ( IN COLLEGE WORK ) AND IS GYMNAST Overcomes Handicap and Wins Scholarship Honors; Clever Hurdler. Brooklyn.— aren’t many careers open to a blind girl, even when she has a Hunter college degree tucked away in a desk drawer and a shiny Phi Beta Kappa key dangling around her neck. Helen O’Connell, who is finishing four years’ college work in three and a half, is troubled about her future. She doesn’t know whether she’ll be weaving tea caddies for gift shoppes or studying to be a social worker after she is graduated. Once a week she goes to recreation classes at the Lighthouse, sponsored by the New York Association for the Blind. There she studies cooking, interpretative dancing, and gymnasium work. She’s even learned to jump hurdles. For 10 years she has a member of the Blind Players club at Suffern, N. Y. She rehearses over week-ends. Twice she has acted in the club’s spring performance at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. But the fa'll, brown-haired girl wants above all other things to be a social worker. Her Real Ambition. She had had that ambition ever since a woman at the American Foundation for the Blind told 3 her of the need for blind social workers to teach the blind. “I went to the New York School of Social Work,” Helen said, “and they told me there were no fellowships available this semester. The tuition is $750 for the two year course.” Widowed Mrs Marion O’Connell takes her daughter to Hunter from their home in Biooklyn every day. and calls for her in the evening. It’s lucky for Helen that Hunter is a municipal college, where tuition is free, or there wouldr t be any bachelor of arts degree or Phi Beta Kappa key either for the blind girl. When Helen’s father died fifteen years ago in Cork, Ireland, Mrs. O’Connell came to America. She had borne thirteen children. Seven of them were dead. Helen could see as well as anybody then. When she was thirteen, she noticed one day that she couldn’t read the words of her book clearly and that faces and colors seemed dulled and obscure. A doctoj said that the films on the little girl’s eyes were “complicated cataracts.” He added that they were “inoperable.” Adept at Writing Braille. Helen learned Braille at Public School 157 in Brooklyn. “Watch, I’ll show you how it’s done,” she said. She took a perforated strip of metal, fastened it on a piece of cardboard, and with a little awl rapidly

punched a series of ridged dots. I Her hands moved faster than a crack typist’s. The series of dots, she said, spelled Helen O’Connell. She takes her, class notes in Braille. Other Hunter students help by reading class assignments. They are paid for their services from a special fund provided by the State Aid for the Blind. She writes her examinations on the portable typewriter which she carries back and forth from Brooklyn every day. Farm Topics |||| BALANCED DIET IS BETTER FOR COWS - J Rations Cut Down, the Milk Production Falls Off. By John A. Arcy, Extension Dairy Specialist. North Carolina State College. WN'J Service. The old family cow has taken a lot of abuse in her time and kept on producing milk for her master, but she can do a much better job when she gets enough of the right things to eat. A good cow not only cuts down on the household food bill, but she contributes much to the health and general well-being of the family. A cow has a huge stomach and a tremendous capacity for converting feed into milk. On full feed she will use about half the nutrients in her feed to maintain her own bodyweight. The rest she converts into milk and butterfat. When her rations are cut down, her milk production falls off, she loses weight, and she goes drier sooner than normal. A cow will often give milk when she really needs "to use the full amount of a scant feed supply to supply her own body. In the course of a year, an aver-age-size farm cow needs 18 bushels of corn, 13 bushels of oats, 600 pounds of cottonseed meal, two tons of hay, and one to two acres of good pasture. The hay should be of good quality, and the pasturage should be a good growth of grasses or legumes. Winter pastures of rye and crimson clover or of wheat, barley, oats, and crimson clover are good for supplementing the dry feed. Three or more different feeds, say 500 pounds of corn meal, 300 pounds of cottonseed meal, and 200 pounds of ground oats or wheat bran will make a good grain ration. Give a cow all the roughage she will eat and allow three quarts of grain per day for each gallon of milk she gives. FOR SALE —Sbw ansi 9 pigs. Clarence Snyder, R. R. 1. Syracifse. 2t-pd

Gangs Get Armed Protection From Japanese. SHANGHAI.—Nanking, which suffered so atrociously from burning, looting and rapine after the Japanese captured the city, is now being afflicted with peddlers of narcotics who work openly under the protection of the Japanese army, according to confidential reports sent here by foreigners still living in the former capital. Opium is sold openly for around 20 Mexican dollars an ounce, which is less than $4. Heroin, for a pure ounce, commands a price of 244 Mexican dollars, the equivalent of about $45 an ounce. But this narcotic is mixed with cheap flour and sold to the poor in small packets at 5 and 10 cents each—prices respectively less than 1 or 2 cents in United States money. The leaders of the narcotic gangs are in possession of arms, which, it is charged, they receive from the Japanese military. Many of the drug distributors are Chinese, working under military protection, and these men organize gangs at night which rob and loot without military interference. The Chinese police, not permitted to carry arms; are helpless. Opium pipes and lamps are sold openly at stalls on all the main streets and a degree of license exists, which Nanking never knew under Chinese administration. In fact, many of Nanking’s main streets today are like the streets in the Japanese concession at Tientsin, where opium and its derivatives have been peddled openly for many years. Chinese currency still circulates in Nanking and is accepted everywhere except at the telegraph office, railway station and at a few Japanese shops. The general rate is 1.04 to the Japanese yen, of which ever larger quantities are being forced into circulation by the Japanese military. Tennessee Woman Sprouts Three New Teeth at 92 KNOXVILLE. TENN, “Aunt Mary” Rule doesn’t know what’ll happen next. “I’m sproutin’ new teeth,” the 92 year old Miss Rule announced to fellow patients at Knoxville General hospital. Miss Rule;' confined to the hospital since a fall four years ago, opened her mouth so prove that she is getting new teeth. Already one jaw tooth has passed through the gum and two front teeth are coming through. Physicians said such cases are rare and usually result from the failure of permanent teeth to replace baby teeth during childhood. When old age advances the jaw bones and gums recede, exposing the dormant teeth. Miss Rule, sister of the late Capt. William Rule, former editor of the Knoxville Journal, said she would never let this get her down. “I guess,” she said, “I’ll just keep on teething.”
