Mysterious Sense Tells the Sightless
When There Are Obstacles Which
They Must Avoid
Blind men whom I met told me that
as time passed I would sense obstruc

back an echo too faint for common
ears, but audible to the delicate hear
ing of the blind.
There is, too, a mysterious some
thing which warns a blind man of his
danger, but which he cannot under
stand. Some think it is an ever-so
delicate pressure of the air. There is
really no knowing what it is, but if,

I am too young in the business of
blindness to avoid collisions with such

Also, the crossing of streets was a
problem, because the blind walker just
naturally bears away to the left. If
he was in an open space he would
go round in a circle as hunters do
who are lost in a forest. But in the
city he merely misses the opposite
walk and wanders about in midstreet

BOYS CONFESS
BRUTAL MURDER
PENNSYLVANIA LADS ADMIT
CAUSING THE DEATH OF
THEIR COMPANION
Snow Shoe, Pa.-Four boys, Melvin
Rowan, Arthur and Charles Markley
and Thomas Stark, are under arrest
here, charged with causing the death
of Jarvis Hall, ten-year-old grandson
of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Hall of Snow
Shoe, on August 17, 1919. At the time
of the Hall boy's death is was general
ly believed that he had been drowned
accidentally while swimming in a
pond near his home. His grandfater,
however, was not satisfied with this
version of the affair and secured the
services of a Pennsylvania state po
lice, who finally unraveled the details
of the tragedy and caused the arrest
of the four lads, who have confessed
the crime.
The four defendants range in age
from eleven to fifteen years. In re
sponse to questions from friends and
officers as to why they committed the
act, the boys always have replied that
they do not know.
Crime of Unusual Features
According to evidence in the case,
the Hall boy left his home on the af
tesrnoon of August 17, as was his cus
tom, to bring in the cows. As he was
passing an abandoned barn the Row
an. Markley and Stark boys rushed out
and captuured him. He was taken in
side, where two of the lads held him
while the other two placed a tie rope
about the victim's neck. Then they
hanged him to a rafter and allowed
the body to hang for about five min
t utes. Finding the boy dead, the four.
youths dressed the body in old cloth
ing and threw in into a pond. Later
the boys reported that they believed a
boy had been drowned and the body
was discovered in the pond.
Investigation after the discovery of
Hall's body revealed that his tongue
was hanging out and that rolling did
not force any water from the lungs,
two unusual incidents in connection
with a drowing. This aroused the
suspicion of the grandfatehr, who en
listed the aid of the state ftroopers and
cleared the mysery surrounding= the
crime.
LETTERS FROM
CLUB MEMBERS
Mrs. L. K. Kirk,
Opelousas, La.
Dear Mrs. Kirk:
I have seen letters from other club
members, in the parish papers but
none from Lawtell Club Members, so
I decided that Lawtell club must not
fail to let other members known some
thing of their work.
This is my third year as a club
member and I never was so interested
in the work as I am this year.
I am proud of tomato plants. I
planted about two hundred of them on
the 24th of April and not one died.
They now have tomatoes on them,
some larger than an egg.
First the soil was plowed and beds
formed. Later it was broken up very
fine, and enriched with plenty of barn
yard manure. Then after a rain, I
transplanted my plants two feet apart.
Every one of them grew fine, and
are the largest around here.
I hoed my plants often, and about
two weeks they were pruned. Then I
stuck them and tied them to the
sticks. I worked hard and I am well
rewarded with fine, healthy plants.
It they continue to be healthy, I am
sure I will can many fine tomatoes.
They are all Stone tomatoes.
I would like to see letters from oth
er members regarding their gardens.
I hope to see letters from Lawtell club
members also.
I would certainly appreciate a visit
from you in the near future, I parti
cularly want you to see my garden.
With ggod luck and best wishes to
you and all club members.
Your sincere friend.

RETURN0FDEAD
BEGINS SEPT. 15
BODIES REQUESTED BY RELA
TIVES WILL BE BROUGHT
BACK FIRST
Washington.-IUnder an arrange
ment reached with the French govern
ment, the return of the American sol
dier dead from the military zone in
France will begin after September
15.
Ralph Hayes, assistant to Secretary
Baker, recently returned from a mis
sion to France to complete arrange
ments, has reported that French ob
jection finally were waived in April,
removals to be limited to those bodies
for the return of which relatives had
specifically asked.
Mr. Hayes reaffirms the policy of
the War Department to defer to wish
es of relatives completely. Returns
from inquiries sent out show that 59
percent of those who replied asked
that the bodies be brought home.
Those which remain in France will
be "fittingly and tenderly" cared for
by the government in Mlelds of Honor
purchased for that purpose. The re
port deals at length with arrangements
for acquisition, location and prepara
tion of these.
The report refers to charges that
the motive behind the proposal for
return of the §oldier dead was "fort
propaganda of the undertakers and
,coffin makers." and the further
charges that activating the movement
to keep the bodies abroad was "the
hope of the French to make their pres
ence a source of constant and sub
stantial financial revenue."
Rumors Are Untrue
"Specific and sufficient data" says
to indicate that either fear is borne
the report "has not yet been added
out in fact." It adds that while some
undertakers conducted a movement
for the return of the bodies they were
repudiated "by the recognized asso
ciation of reputable funeral directors"
and that "it is not true that there
exists nw in France any generally
prevalent effort to capitalize financial
ly, American burial places."
Mr. Hayes recommended that the
permanent Fields of Honor be loca
ted at Romagne, Belleau and Sures
nes in France, the dead to sleep there
without "seggregation into distine
tive locations on the basis of rank."
Head stones and markers should be
uniform and erected by the govern
ment on advice of a war Memorials
Council to be composed of representa
tives of all interested veteran and
other organizations. Arrangements
should be made similarly, he reported,
for eeretion of hostess honbs to ac
commodate relatives of the dead who
visit the plots.
Touching Evidence of Care
Descrhbing his visit to all the points
where American dead now lie in
France, Mr. Hayes said he saw many
touching evidences of the care indiv
idual French citizens and small com
munities were bestowing, on the
graves.
Objections of the French authori
ties of waiving the rigid regulations
in force against removal of any of
the dead of whatever nationality form
the military zone were based on prac
tical reasons, Mr. Hayes reported
These included unwillingness to dis
criminate between Americans and the
dead of other nationalities, more nu
merous and much more difficult of
identification; fear of the effect upon
an already "badly strained civilian
morale" movement of long funefal
trains would have; uncertainty as
to the hygenic effect so great an un
dertaking involved; shortage of rail
way equipment and the already con
'gested condition of railroads in the
Military Zone due to reconstruction
act~ lties.
Under the agreement reached, Mr.
Hayes reported, the American gov
ernment assumes responsibility for
adequate sanitary precautions, to be
approved by the French authorities
and for making minimum demands on
raii equipment, not over 100 cars for
the purpose to be in use at any one
time. These and other rolling stock
and terminal facilities will be used on
a rental basis.

Why "Central" Cannot Stop
To Answer Questions
The duty of the switchboard operator
consists of answering your number calls
and getting connections for you.
If she stopped to answer questions, the
number calls would pile up and the serv- .
ice would be delayed, which would be an
injustice to the other subscribers.
When in response to a question, she
says: "I'll give you Information," she is
simply obeying her instructions.
If you cannot find the information you
want in the telephone directory, ask the op
erator for "Information" and she will con
nect you with the Information desk, where
your question will be promptly answered.
