WRONG IDEA OF THE BLIND
Statesman, Afflicted With Loss of
Sight, Tells Good Story Bear
ing on the Bubject.
Representative Schall, member of
the house of representatives from
Minnesota, Is blind, and has been for
ten years. Durlfag this time he Says
that he has discovered that the see
ing world has strange ideas as to the
limitations of the blind; that It seems
to think because a man cant see lie
can neither hear not feel, and is a
strange, detached piece of human
mechanism that Is not to be reckoned
with directly, but through the guiding
hand.
Not long ago Mr. Schall was retnrn
ftig from his home In Minneapolis to
Washington, accompanied only by h)s
small son Douglas. The first morning
tliey appeared in the diner the waiter
assigned to their table inquired of
young Douglas: "Son, what does your
father want?"
"Why, ask him," quickly replied the
child, "he knows what he wants.' As
for me, bring me pahcaks and sausage
and chocolate!"

RADIUM'S USE IN SURGERY
Its Rays 80 Powerful That They Can
Destroy the Useless or Dis
eased Tissue.
The use of radium In hospitals is
becoming more and more demanded
by the medical profession. The Sci
entific American, In telling of its med
ical and surgical uses, explains that
It Is a tool and not a medicine. The
radium gives, off three rays, knowq as
•the alpha, beta and ganima'rays. The
first, about 85 per cent of the total ray
force, can be stopped by tissue paper;
the second will penetrate SB milli
meters of lead, while the third has a
vibration similar to the X-ray. This
ray Is the one used In surgery.
The rays are sent Into the bodj;,
and so powerful ore they that they
can penetrate to a great depth, and
theife destroy the useless or diseased
tissue. As the good tissue has a
greater resistance than the bad, the
highly skilled operative can bear the
gamma rays on the afflicted part until
they begin to destroy the good tis
sue, when the treatment must stop.
Just the Place.

• bly—Developments In
Near East.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD.
TakasM Hara, premier of Japan;
Baron Sbidebara, Japanese ambassa
dor to the United States, and Roland
Morris, American ambassador to
Japan, all are hopeful, even confi
dent, that a better understanding be
tween the two nations will soon be
brought and that International
relations are In no grave danger of be
ing Marquis Okuma,
former premlfer. Is by no means so op
timistic qlnce the Callfornlans In
dorsed their antl-allen land law. In
an address before a general meetihg
of the Japanese Immigration associa
tion last week In Tokyo, Okuma said:
"It la strange bow cool the Japanese
are towards a problem deciding the
fate of their brothers In America."
The anti-Japanese movement In the
United States, he asserted, endangers
relations not only between Nippon and
America, but also between Japan and
other powers.
"Germany," he said, "was reduced
from leadership among nations be
cause she Ignored the principles of jus
tice and humanity, and now America,
Ignoring them. Is setting an example
that Canada and Australia will prob
ably follow.
"Must we, one of the five great
powers, remain silent when others act
Inhumanely and unjustly towards our
nationals? That Is not the way the
welfare of humanity Is promoted."
Premier Hara regards the Califor
nia agitation as sectional and not rep
resenting the country at large, and be
lieves that If the thinking people in
both countries are careful not to let
the agitation go to extremes, sound
judgment eventually will prevail and
the matter will be satisfactorily ad-
Justed. •
Undoubtedly It will be left to the
new administration and the new sen- 1
ate to make the adjustment, which
may take the form of a new treaty.
The plan favored by Japan Is that
Japan shall undertake to prevent fur
ther Japanese migration to the United
States and that our government shall
undertake to safeguard the property
rights of the Japanese already in the
Tokyo would prefer to have
this In the form of a strengthened
"gentlemen's agreement," but Gover
nor Stephens and other leaders of
opinion In California maintain the
Japanese question never will be set
tled permanently until the "gentle
men's agreement" Is abrogated, Jap
anese excluded by statute and Japa
nese property-holding rights restrict
ed. as contemplated by the California
referendum measure.
Armistice day, the second anniver
sary of the ending of the World war,
was fittingly observed by all the al
lied and associated nations. The cere
monies In London and Paris were es
pecially impressive. In the presence
of King George, the heads of the gov
ernment and the relatives of missing
Midlers, the body of an unknown war
rior was interred in Westminster ab
bey, this being the highest honor Eng
land can pay to one of her dead; and
in Whitehall the king nnveiled a per
manent cenotaph dedicated to "the
glorious dead."
The French took the body of aa un
identified soldier from the cemetery af
Verdun and Interred it beneath the
Are de Trlomphe. President Millers ml
and Mantels Focfc, Joffr* and Petals
task part in th* ceremony. Then tte

heart of Gambetta, who brought
France through the terrible days of
1870, was deposited In' the 4>antheon.
In the United States there w£re no
ceremonies of a national character,
but the day was generally observed
with parades, memorial exercises and
patriotic meetings. Former service
men held a great gathering in New
York and were addressed by General
Nivelle, the defender of Verdun.
Grosses and medals were presented
to American naval heroes by the navy
department. The Red Cross took ad
vantage of the day of celebration to
start Its drive for a vastly Increased
membership, and the response to this
call was Immediate and general
throughout the country.
All preparations were made last
week for the first meeting of the -as
sembly of tbe League of Nations In
Genera November 15. Whatever may
be accomplished at this session, It will
be a notable gathering of great men.
Every nation memtfer of tbe league
has sent eminent men to represent It,
among them being Arthur Balfonr, H.
A. L. Fisher aqd George Barnes for
Great Britain; Leon Bourgeois and
Andre Tardleu for .France; Tlttonl for
Italy; Hymans for Belgium; Pade
rewski, for Poland; Brantlng for Swe
den-; Barons Hayashl, Ishll and Me
ga t a forflapnn; Motta, Ador and Us
terl for Switzerland, and accomplished
statesmen for each of the Latin-Amer
ican republics.
The countries qpt represented at the
Geneva meeting, because they are hot
members of the league. Include Ger
many, Austria, Bulgaria, Turkey, Rus
sia, Mexico and the United States of
America.
Statesmen and publicists of France
have been especially active since the
election of Senator Harding In discus
sing the probable revision of the
treaty of Versailles and the chances of
foonlng an association of nations
Which the United States would join.
Ambassador Jusserand will soon re
turn to Washington, after spending
several months In Europe, and It Is
believed he will bring the latest views
of his government on the subject of
recasting. the league covenant.
Through him, France may renew Its
efforts to have the senate ratify the
treaty guaranteeing protection to
France against exterior aggression.
Developments of the week In the
Near East were not especially favor
able to the allies In several Instances.
First, and most Important, was the
news that Armenia had concluded an
armistice with the Turkish national
ists, whose seat of government is In
Angora. The Turks had captured
Kara and Alexandropo! and were
moving toward Erivan. The Geor
gians being threatened, were mobilis
ing on their frontiers' and hoped to
save Batum. This action of the Ar
menians opens the way for direct
Junction of Jhe nationalists and the
Russian soviet forces and creates a
serious condition for Great Britain.
France. Italy and Greece in Asia Mi
nor. Kemal Pasha's armies are still
Intact, because the allies cannot get
far from the sea coasts, and his gov
ernment Is regardless of
the fate of Constantinople snd the sal
tan. Its authority Is supreme In Ana
tolia and it Is probable that the Turks
there will eledt a new saltan after sep
arating the sultanate the cali
phate, and that thereafter a new caliph
also will be chosen.
The nationalists 'lnsist that the
treaty of Sevres must be revised add
that Smyrna, Clllcla and part of
Thrace must be returned to Turkey.
France especially would oppose this,
fearing that Germany would take It as
a precedent and ask modification of
the treaty of Versailles. The Turkish
treaty has not yet* been signed, the
Porte having said the time for such
action wA unpropltlous.
News of Baron Wrangel'a desperate
straggle against the Bolshevik armlet
In southern Roaala la a trifle confused,
bnt on tbe whole not very encourag
ing to bli well-wisher*. Dispatches
from Sevastopol said the soviet force}
had broken through his outer works at
Perakop, but that the situation was
aot considered aa serious. French
mutter? übaarTW with Wrange! aald
he had fallen back Into the Crimea
and that the retreat had been conduct
ed with notabfe sucows, the morale of
his troopf being unimpaired. He
hopes, with proper material, to main
tain his position until coltf wvather
brings about the disintegration ol the
soviet armies? The Moscow govern
ment says its troops east of Perekop
have crossed the Slvatch river into
the Crimean peninsula.
At last Italy and Jugo-Slavta have
come to an agreement In the Adriatic
dispute. It was said the settlement
of the Istrlan frontier Is In favor of
Jugo-Slavla, though Monte Nevaao
goes to Italy;' Flume la to be Inde
pendent. with territorial contiguity to
Italy; the Italians get the islands of
Cberao, Lussln and Dnie and suseratn
ty over Zara. It was understood the
territorial would be accompanied
by Commercial and political agree
ments.
Premier Lloyd George, In an addreM
it the Inauguration of the new lord
mayor of London, took occasion t>
warn Ireland again that the British
government was determined to put an
end to the campaign of assassination,
and that there will be "no real pence
In that Island, DO real conciliation, un
til this murder conspiracy has been
shattered." He warmly defended the
work of the police In Ireland, aaylng:
"They are getting the right men. They
are dispersing the terrorists. If the
police need more power they shall
have it"
The Irish republicans, seemingly,
have accepted the challenge, tor the
murders* of policemen and soldiers
continue, and preparations are being
jpade to meet the emergency of the
threatened closing of the railway and
mall systems of the Island. Commit
tees are organising to provide food
and fuel to the towns along the rail
roads.
Some fool friends of Oie Irish, in
th|s country, oent to the British chief
secretary for Ireland a threat of re
prisals against Englishmen resident In
the # United States, "If there are any
more reprisals hi Ireland on and after
the fourteenth day of November." The
British embassy In Washington has
called the attention of the State de*
partment to this and it is understood
the department has started an Investi
gation.
The Walsh congressional committee
which for 010 M than a year has been
Investigating the operations of
shipping board and Its Emergency
Fleet corporation stirred up a hornet's
nest last week when It published the
report of A. M. Fisher and J. E. Rich'
ardson, who had conducted Inquiries
for the committee. This makes broart
charges of corruption of officials and
employees of the corporation, graft in
purchasing supplies for and In repair
ing government-owned merchant ships
and the use of political and other In
fluence In obtaining construction con
tracts and the allocation of vessels to
operating companies. The 'board is
accused of gross waste -of the govern
ment funds and of failure In co-opera
tion. In his testimony before the com
mittee, however, Mr. Richardson said
his report did not purport to fix any
Illegal act on any person. Charles
Pies, director general of the corpora
tion firing the war, before being
called before the committee entered a
general denial of the charges of cor
ruption and graft. Commander A. B.
Clement, executive assistant to Admi
ral Benson, chairman of the board,
told the committee the only real
ground for criticism of the board's ad
ministration was the lack' of perfect
co-ordination between the different
departments. Representative Wulsh
•aid Admiral Benson probably would
be called on to testify. There' was
considerable criticism of the commit
tee for making putJlc, for the Mcond
time, charges against the shipping
board without first giving the organi
sation a chance to defend Itself.
An Interesting development of the
baseball situation was tbe decision of
the eight National league clubs and
three of the American league clubs to
form a twelve-club league, and the offer
of the chairmanship of the new board
«f control to Judge K. ML Landla at aa
annual salary of $09,900.
eminent®, is the otganization of clubg
fivnris. The., boys and girls take the keeoest interest and
competition at the various county aTKjf state fairs make 1
the most expert judging necessary. Ashewile and \
are encouraging the formation of these club*, and each year'tfjmfjll' prizes
are awarded fox\the best acre of corn, the best .pig and for otnmrf|i|dncts.
Tfie boys start early in the year and they give their elders * r»ce
when it comes to yield per acre. We have • county farm deawßpVE,
of course, and Ms advice is just as freely bestowed on .the younger faiMli
is on their parents. These boys employ every aid to nature in
if deep plowing; proper-fertilizer, selected seeds and constant labor, whiw
■orabine to give them bumper crops each year. -
The "girls contest in pig raising and in the production of butter, pre-" ,
erves, canned fruits and vegetables and in vegetable growing. One is sun
■rised to see what those western North Carolina girls caff produce in the
•ay of canned food from an acre or even a half acre of ground. And at •
rising pigs they give the boys the closest kind of a fraee.
As these youngsters of today are the citizens of tomorrow, this de
velopment of ability is one of the greatest assets any state can have, and
should be highly encouraged." I think erery state in the South, and in
fact, in every other part >f the United States, should encourage the farm
children in work of this kind, for it means a practical insurance against
a food shortage in the future. ■/ v
