The little blind girl had made all preparations to live her life in the darkness, which became more intensive as month after month passed by with no relief for her in sight. She piayed with her dolls, as any other girl does, and learned to read by touch. Always cheerful, she entered the eye and ear infirmary totally blind. Dr. Steiher said. After an examination it was decided that the girl's sight could be restored if new and controllable eye lids could be grafted upon her. Nine operations were required to complete this difficult piece of plastic surgery ar.d the child's eyes were r-.v. r?d. Then followed days of hoping, praying and anxiety. The day came when the bandages were to be removed. fh. parents of thi child gathered about. It took i'U ta few seconds and th> girl opened h? r eyes. The lid.- lid iot quiver. "Mamma. I can sec. Oh.?" and she stared to sob. burying her face in her mother's arms. There were mi; >:iun- and more questions, ami tie girl was taken back home with her parents?her sight fully recovered. There is almost no visible trace of the surgery, and the new lids respond to muscular control quite as readily as natural lids do. It is a wonderful story as Dr St? iner narrate .t. CAN HOLD PROSPERITY IF WE AREN'T TIMID The prosperity America is now enjoying: can be made permanent if the husir- >s wen of the nation exercise confidence and caution rather thai; timidity, Herbert Hoover, secretary of commerce, said last night before the chamber of commerce of the United States in annual convention. He declared the present business health was by no means an augury of approaching hard times. His address was made after JuliuII. Barnes, president, had outlined the chamber's program tor settling domestic and international problems; Maita Fujiyama, president of the national federation of chambers of commerce of Japan had predicted a future of friendly and co-operative amity between this nation and his own; and Representative Albert John -on. Washington, chairman of the ho ;se committee on immigration and naturalization, had forecast the further restriction of immigration hv be next Congress. 1 luring the last few weeks then ha> b?'er. a distinct note of caution at our rapid industrial recovery," Mr. Hoover said "I have shared in this; but Miiiif have com- mi fiiv that we an entering a period ot inflation or clanger of collapse. "Caution is the greatest safeguard to our continued prosperity hut cautior. need not he timidity, exclusive of confidence and courage. "We have no need to go int . a period of inflation. We are undoubtedly in a plane of prosperity, and we wish to hang on to prosperity. 1 ani not one of those who believe that hard times have any special advantage i ndiscipling our sons. We ought to be able to discipline ourselves in prosperity when we have time to do it, and having achieved prosperity, ve ought to be able to hang on to it. "We must not judge the state of business activities by pre-war figures, but by a hugely increased base. We must not be frightened when output of steel or textiles or automobiles, lumber, corn or hogs, or our car loadings amounting to figures in excess of those that would be implied alone in a normal growth of nonol?*i r> There has been in the past decade an u 11 pa railed growth of our industrial and commercial efficiency and our consequent ability to consume." A report of the immigration committee recommended the admittance of an additional two per cent of immigration on a selective basis over the number provided in the presnt three per cent law, to meet the existing labor shortage. The additional two per cent, it was pointed out, would add 238,536 immigrants to the total number now admissible. Brigadier-General Frank T. Hines, director of the United States veteran bureau, in an address to the chamber, appealed for aid in employing the 60,000 incapacitated war veterans now undergoing vocational training. A DEMOCRAT THE RIGHT THING ! at the RIGHT TIME St MART MARSHALL DUFFEE IX A LIBRARY \ I My library. Was dukedom large ? nought. ?Shako spears. O'WTi upon a time youitc women, unmarried. were enjoined l?y stick- j lers ?>n behavior not to visit public libraries or picture galleries or museums unless they were accompanied by a chaperon or escort of some sort ?fliat is. unless they wore forced to do so in pursuit of their dally bread. New our children jro to the lJhrariea alone from the time they are able to go anywhere, and there could hardly he a better place for tbein to spend their time. But they should be cautioned to abide by certain rules of 5 J manners when In a library If they are to be welcome visitors. us in*r ursi piBir, me ruir r? sueac? should be obeyed eery punctiliously. Anil for that reason there Is distinctly ?n advantage In srolnu alone to a library, for then there Is no temptation to ;alk. To go with a friend to a library without some serious intention of studying or reading is certainly In very poor taste. In cities there Is alv . -i a class of persons who go to th? library because it is a comfortable a> "t of place, well heated fn winter and c ! In summer, better perhaps than t -wn homes as a place for an Idle fc? :r. agreeable for a nap now and tli?n end not a bad place for h little fl'r-fifion. Sometimes you will even see one of these llhrnry enthusiasts > itching a bit of cold lunch from a paper hag kept covertly hidden from t! vigilant eye of the librarian under cover of g book. >c do not make that sort of conv? tence of your library. I >o not use It ? rendezvous, as a convenient pla? e to nwt the young woman whose does not wish to receive you in the home. Always remember when you are in a library that If you have any <jueslions they should be addressed to on? of the persons In attendance If you do not kuow how to use the catalogues do not consult another reader, but go to one of the librarian?, whose bus! nes.n Jt Is to give Jus! that sort of Instruction. If you do not know whore to find h bit of Information for which you are in search. you are quite at liberty to ask one of the librarians to help you. Usually women do not remove their hats in public places. That is, it would he regarded In very exceptional taste to take off the hat in a department store or for luncheon at a restaurant; aud only when the Journey !a to b? long would a woman remove her hat In a railroad train. Hut It la perfectly ail tight for a woman to remove her hat when she Is going to rend for any length of time In the library. In a large library she may check this with her coat and any other accessories at the entrance door, or she n?sy simply slip It from her head after she has taken her place at her sect. It Is extremely inconsiderate, however, to spread one's hat and other personal belongings about so as possibly to b? an inconvenience to others. Wst urn* brellas should never be carried into a library. If there is no checking desk they should be left in the umbrella rack at the door. ??. 1US, by XoClar? N?wiptptr Syndicate.) O Innocent.

A line of travel that ends In a square shows danger arising to the subject from his travels, but he will be protected, since the square Is called the "mark of preservation." Note whether the line of travel ends in an Island, no matter how small. If it does, loss through the Journey is indicated. When the line of travel reaches Jupiter, the Journey will be very long. When it runs to the mount of Saturn, or fate, some fatality win govern the entire lournev. It will he snhleet to good or evil fortune, as the other signs in the hand indicate. But when the travel line runs to the mount of the sun, er Apollo, under the ring finger, there may be expected, or there are indicated, very favorable results from the journey, such as riches and fame. When the line of travel reaches the mount of Mercury, at the base of the little finger, sudden and an expected wealth from the journey Is seen.
