him that he sent the letter to the Sec
retary of the Navy, who; in turn, sub
mitted it to me for my reading. I can
not tell you how tremendously I was
I pleased to read an expression of your
undaunted resolutio and your cheerful
hopefulness. It is a mighty blow to
suffer the loss of one's vision and one's
hands, and to have such gratifying evi
dence of your ability to express your
self through typewriter has brought to
me a real spirit of helpfulness when
there are problems to face which seem
exceedingly difficult. I should rejoice to
know that any service man who had

and encouragement from the Director
of the Bureau, Colonel Charles R.
Forbes and Secretary of the Navy
Denby, he has received a letter from
President Harding complimenting him
on his "cheerful hopefulness," and his
in spite of excessive disability, but it
is so exceedingly good to know that
one so excessively impaired as you
has found a way to a state of self-help
and self-expression as you make it
manifest in your letter to your old
commander. If my good wishes ad-

Bronner was a seaman on a U. S.
vessel stationed in Italian waters dur
ing he World war. While at the
front, with his buddy, a cruel 2 hand
grenade, left behind by the enemy, ex
ploded, killing his chum and wounding
him so seriously as to result in the
loss of both eyes and both hands.
Through the co-operation of the In
stitute for Crippled and Disabled Men
in New York city, the services of a
special instructor were secured. Artifi
cial hands camp into being and he
has mastered the typewriter.
Bronner is today a happy, self-reliant
young fellow with abundant confidence
in himself. He goes about constantly
without a guide, dances, writes on both
the Braille writer and typewriter, has
finished his preliminary education and
is planning to take up the study of
law next year.
A special attachment of the tvpe-
Independence, La., Dec. 12. Pausing
between shots to explain his action and
with pedestrians looking on, Anglo
Giurlando, of Rockford, Ills., yesterday
shot Andrea Anato to death in one of
the principal streets of this city.
Five shots were fired into Anato's
body and between each shot Giurlando
hesitated to exclaim to the crowd of
witnesses a. word or two in explana
tion of the act which he was carrying
out slowly and determinedly.
"I wanted everybody to know I kill
ed him and why it was necessary. '
Giurlando shouted at the top of 'its
voice and went on to say that Analo
had ruined his home. .
The two men married sisteu, G;ir
lando told Dr. J. H. McDendon, cor
oner and other , officials that, two
months after his marriage, his wife
told him that Anato had attacked her
a week before the ceremony. Giurland j
said he was so infuriated at the time
that only a shortage of money stopped
him from coming here from Rockford
sooner. Dast weke, he said, he- r a :e
the trip and 'immediately set out to
find Anato, carrying with him a knife,
with which he charged Anato hal
threatened Mrs. Giurlando at the time
of the attack. This knife he carried
when the two men started down the
street together Sunday morning, but
it was not brought into play in che
execution of his plan.
Giurlando, held in the parish jail
here on a murder charge, said his onlv
re,gret was that he did not kill Anato
sooner.

Saving Does Not Mean
Self-Denial
To save money you need not be miserly or deny
yourself a reasonable share of the pleasures of
life.
Scientific saving is simply Thrift.
It means arranging your expenses according to
i definite schedule, so that the amount you spend
is a little less than the amount you earn.

an Art is something you can learn
