It is the annual convention of the American Association of Workers for the Blind and leaders in this field from all parts of the United States will attend, comparing notes and ex- changing information about how best to handle an intricate social and human problem. Subjects to be dis- cussed range from the prevention of blindness to means of making blind Persons self-sustaining. Some of these workers are them- selves blind, others are normal per- sons who, for one reason or another, have taken up the task of bringing a little light past the walls of dark- ness. There can be few more praise- worthy endeavors, for none is so handicapped as him who cannot see. The sense of sight is probably the most highly-prized of all man’s fac- ulties. Inability to hear or taste or Smell offers difficulties but all of these together do not present half the problems which come with in- ability to sée. ‘Yet there must be some compen- sations which come with blindness, for such persons usually have a sun- nier disposition than those with two good eyes. Look at the next blind person you see. Notice the enviable tranquillity which probably will mark his face. And the blind need not be depend- ent. In schools and institutions they are being taught to perform certain kinds of work which they can do as well as normal persons. We have such an institution in this state, even though it is the least-publicized of all those for which the taxpayers contribute their money. It is doing excellent work and is restoring or preparing for usefulness many persons whose lives otherwise would be ruined. There are ways of assisting people to overcome the handicaps of blind- ness. The fact that a lad will never again see the sun, the moon or the verdure of green meadows need not prove an insuperable bar to success. ‘Two of the 96 men who sit in the ‘United States senate are blind. One of them has been in that body for the greater part of the last 24 years. \, fF general that the Greeks beat the Per- sians. Why? Well, chiefly because it was the Greeks who wrote that chapter in world history. The Per- sians never got a chance to tell their Side of it. A few years hence, when the cuneiform inscriptions on these ancient tablets have been deciphered, we may have a different slant on things. It is a pity that similar discoveries cannot be made for other great con- tests. It would be enlightening, for instance, to have a Carthaginian des- cription of the great Punic wars; to read of Cortez’s conquest of Mexico in the writings of an Aztec historian; to .00/ get. a contemporary Indian rajah’s ac- count of Britain’s conquest of India, History is full of “might have beens.” Usually we take it for grant- ed that things happened for the best. Looking at the losers’ story might, in more instances than one, give us reason to adopt a new attitude. Not Working Well One of the emergency remedies adopted by the last legislature was that which reduced the penalty and interest charges for non-payment of taxes. With many citizens in desperate straits and unable to pay, the legis- lature felt itself obliged to take defi- nite action. In addition to these re- ductions it legalized the instalment Plan of taxpaying. Each measure is causing unlooked- for trouble. The effect of the first is to seri- ously reduce the amount of taxes paid. A review of tax collections everywhere proves the point. The totals are down, Some persons are delinquent be- cause they haven’t got and cannot raise the money. Others have failed to pay because it is cheaper not to do so. It may be that the legislature thought those who could pay their taxes, despite the dropping of the enforcement provisions of the law, would continue to do so. If the law- makers had that slant they are being disabused of it. No one likes to pay taxes. Few have a sense of civic duty compelling enough to send them to the treasurer's office when others are taking advantage of new laxity in the laws. Meanwhile the treasurers of North Dakota sweat over the problem of dividing instalment payments among cities, villages, counties, school dis- tricts and the state. A lot of scratch paper is being used up figuring these apportionments, Some day we'll hear about a Big City Guy who made good in a small town. Editorial Comment Editorials printed below show the trend of thought by other editors, They are published without regard to whether they agree or disagree with The Tribune's policies. Snubbing the London Guilds (Chicago Tribune) Readers of The Tribune are again indebted to Edmond Taylor for an amusing sidelight of the London con- ference. The delegates were invited to the hospitality of the ancient com- mercial guilds of London which revy- erently continue some of their medie- val functions, including magnificent eating and drinking at banquets. Nearly all the invited guests ignored the invitations and only a few went to the dinners. The Americans were conspicuous among those who tossed the invitations aside with no consid- eration, Blind men and women have achieved success in other fields. Probably the greatest living demon- stration of the spirit’s triumph over handicaps of the flesh is Helen Kel- Jer, who is both blind and deaf. There is ample evidence that phys- ical handicaps can be overcome by those with a will. Blindness or other disabilities need not be insuperable, for the light of reason and of knowl- edge is not shut off to those who live in physical darkness. Granting the terrible plight of those who cannot see, it yet may be Preferable to that of those who will not see. For self-imposed blindness there is no cure and no relief. Where Historians Fail to lay Fair A series of crumbling clay tablets, which were put into the Persian arch- ives at Persepolis 24 centuries ago and which were discovered there recently by Dr. James Henry Breasted, Chica- go University’s famous archaeologist, may add @ brand-new chapter to one of the most interesting parts of an- cient history. These tablets, as far as they have been deciphered, seem to give the Per- sian version of the famous invasion of Greece which came to disaster in the battles of Marathon and Salamis. ‘We know all about those battles al- ready, of course—from the Greek side. Dr. Breasted hopes now, however, to get the Persians’ side of it too; to look at the obverse face of one of the most, famous military campaigns in all his- tory. Doing this may give us a new kind of history; and, in the end, we may get an entirely new idea of that mo- mentous struggle on the shores of the ‘Aegean 2400 years ago. History, which pretends to be im- Partial, is pretty one-sided. Every great struggle, like this between the Greeks and the Persians, gets des- cribed by the victors. The losers not onlyelose the war, but they lose their chance to present their case to posier- ity. Mr. Taylor says that the scandal is a big one in London. The guilds, now representing the commercial wealth of London, with the best stocked cellars, and the best food obtainable in Eng- land, are the medieval associations of Grocers, vintners, skinners, butchers end other purveyors. They have be- ‘come gorgeous in traditions and trap- Pings and their members as merchant Princes take a back seat for nobody when the feed bag is in question. To the delegates, and particularly it seems to the Americans, the invita- tions represented too much of a come €own to be considered. They had been to the king’s garden party and they had dined with milord and been received by milady. After duke and duchess it was too much to receive an invitation to meet the green grocer and break bread with the butcher. It happens that by this high hat- ting of the commercial guilds the de- Mnquent and discourteous guests not only missed the best meal they could have expected to get in England but the American democrats missed @ chance of giving a little social recog- nition to one of their own origins. It was to these worshipful guilds in London that the founders of the Mas- sachusetts Bay Colony, the joint stock stock company which was to become @ state, turned for financial support when they needed it most. Among those who offered it to them was ene etnies of none ones an the 01 1 Company o! Skinners. The Americans would have been closer home at one of the guild ban- quets in the traditional joviality of a ‘commercial people than they possibly could have been at the king’s garden party or at any of the other parties to which their hosts had invited them. Tne membership of the guilds now represents @ great deal of Britain’s wealth and power, but the origins of it are closer to the American concep- tion of authority than any power which survives in the titled orders to which the republican representatives Pay most respect.

It can so weaken # victim that he becomes quite helpless. The bird or rabbit “charmed” by a snake is Paralyzed with fear. Fear is the cause of shock. Modern physicians and surgeons take special precautions to allay fear; they endeavor by every means to insulate the patient against impressions or associations which arouse this instinctive emotion. This is the secret of shockless surgery, and of the success physicians today have in the non-surgical treatment of grave illnesses like exophthalmic or “toxic” goitre. Some one has called worry “di- luted fear.” Anxiety may be defined as chronic fear. And that's the whole story of “weak nerves” or “nervous exhaustion” or “neurasthenia” or whatever fancy name you please to give your funny obsession. Look out now—if you get mad and climb up on your high horse and file an indignant protest against my hard-boiled teachings, you’ll give your game away. Wait till I expatiate a bit about the two classes of neurotics. Maybe you'll discover you can still carry on your racket. Certainly you can for all I care. I shall-state the simple truth and you may take it or leave it. Only please remember I’m the teacher, and this course is not compulsory. Now, then, all neurotics or indi- viduals who pretend to have bad nerves, are either dumb or dishonest. There's no middle path. If you in- sist that exhausted nerves account for your delinquency or valetudinarian- ism, you must join one class or the other. Class A neurotics, I am glad to be- them are just plain dumb, but prob- ably the most difficult to rescue are the wiseacres, the knowing ones who, having been thoroughly exploited by some eminent nerve specialist in the grand old days when nerve specialists were the berries and got ’em, wish to coast along the rest of the way on that basis—these wiseacre neurotices get away with it by insisting that ordi- nary doctors do not understand the nerves. A wiseacre neurotic never consults an ordinary doctor if he can Possibly help it. If circumstances compel him to have truck with an ordinary doctor, the supercilious one doesn’t consult the doctor. No, in- deed, he merely permits the doctor to minister to his immediate needs and squelches him if he ventures to evince any curiosity about what really ails the patient. Plain dumb neurotics are not bad eggs at all, when you get to know them. If I find ad umb neurotic with an I. Q. of ten years or better, I feel quite Munyonish—I think “There is hope.” It is therefore to the dumb neurotics of North America that I de- dicate these lessons on nerve weak- ness. If we can only make ‘em un- derstand we can bring ‘em back to normalcy. As for the wiseacre neu- rotics, no plain ordinary garden type of doctor—such as I—can tell them anything anyway. So here we may as well consign them to whatever un- happy end awaits them and make more room for you with bad nerves to draw up closer, for you must not miss any of this instruction.

MAKE Copyright, , 1930, Travers Lorrimer, shell-shocked war veteran and son of wealthy Margaret Lorrimer, mistakes pret- ty Mary Lou Thurston for Delight Hartord, whom he is supposed to have married in England. Mrs. Lortimer induces Mary Lou to assume the role of Delight, of whom no trace can be found. Travers is told he must begin again with friendship. His interest in life is renewed. No mention is made of his marriage until the visit of Larry Mitchell, Mary Lou's friend. ‘Then Travers, bg- lieving Larry is ia love with Mary Lou, reminds her she is his wite. At Christmas Mary Lou, irritated by Travers’ lack of holiday spirit, terms him selfish.

He didn’t, he confessed, grinning, know much about specialized pul licity, but he thought that he could manage to see that the star’s jewels were stolen or her pet dog af- flicted with pneumonia. Anyway, from what he had already learned, publicity would come easily. One of the girls in the company had a title, or she said she had; a juvo- nile lead was the disinherited son of a great shipbuilder, and one of the chorus or show girls had been married to'no less than three lords —not all at the same time. “There was a woman once,” ex- plained Larry to Jenny, Mary Lou and Travers, “who married a cou-| bo; le of dukes.

Jenny was kind, and, even if he didn’t know much about skiing and fell ingloriously upon his nose and stuck in snowbanks, long legs wav- ing, her laughter was entirely friendly and she took great pains to instruct him in the various diffi- cult sports. Also he was now writ- ing signed special articles for his paper, and had sold the first of a series of short stories on newspa- per life to a popular weekly and expected to sell many more—and his bank account had swelled gorgeously. He had always been ambitious, but had never taken himself very seriously. Mary Lou had been his closest confidante, a pink and in- terested ear into which he was wont to pour the varied colored tales of his experiences and hopes. But in Jenny he had an incentive, * Her laughing Indystip kept er lau; ip kept her own counsel. “frnat Jenny thought of Larry and his importunities, hi: dissrraing Aenpariinsnces, his obvi- 6 ’3|tate, John Lorrimer had consented.
