MUSIBAL SCORES FORUSE OF BLIND New Braille Method Enables Sightless Persons to Be- come’ Players. Correspondence of The Star. JACKSONVILLE, IL—The blind may now read music, written in the raised dots of Braile, by “sight.” With one hand, the sightless player reads the music on the piano and plays it with the other. 1t takes only practice for him to memorize the notes sufficiently to play the selection with both hands. A revolutionary step in teaching the blind, the method making possible “sight” readipg of music, was per- fected by L« W. Rodenberg. himsell sightless, « in charge of printing at the Uiinois School for the Blind at Jacksonville. It will be demonstrated for the first time at the seventh annual Illinois conference on public welfare to be held in Joliet October 18-20. Previously, in printing music in Braille, all the words of a song were followed by the notes of the music. In the new method each word is fol- lowed by the accompanying note throughout the selection. The Braille language is combinations of dots, the ving a group of six dots, three and two wide. With the six. the v and musical codes h ed out, with 63 chara rly in the histor: f Braille music ion all the right-hand notes were ed first, followed by the left hand notes. In England, the “bar by bar" method was perfected, in ch a phrase of the right-hand musi followed by the same phrase of the Jeft-hand. Rodenberg developed a “bar over bar” method. 0 s in use For years the Jacksonville school has blazed a path in education of the blind. Frank Hall, a former superin- tendent, is credited with the perfec- tion of the Braille-Hall typewrtier and he i.vented the Braille sterotyp- ing_machine, used to print music and books for the blind. - TORTURE: IN SOME HYMNS. Critic Says Attempt to Sing Them Typifies Future Punishment. / NEWCASTLE, England, October 13 (P).—The sufferings of church con- gregations in attempting to sing some hymns justified a belief in future pun- ishment, the Congregational Union meeting here was told yvesterday. “Tune writers have made others | weep, therefore, they, too, shall weep and howl and sing their owr. tunes,” declared Rev. A. Le Marchant, well known clergyman of Bolton, lambast- ing sacred music writers. “When King Saul threw the javalin at David he may have had a good reason. We don’t know what tune was being tried. Nowadays we take precaution against such incidents by placing sticks and umbrellas out of reach of people in pews and by hiding the organist be- hind a screen.” e At 87 years of age, Capt. C. G. Knowles, claiming to be the world’s oldest big game hunter, is spending the Autumn hunting bears and lions near his home in the mountains of southern California. THE EVEN Other Men'’s Wives. STER DURHAM was raised in a small town by simple, God- fearing parents, who gathered their children daily around them for Bible reading and prayer, Peter grew to manhood, young giant with ‘dark brown hair glinted - with red and reddish brown eyes that met other men's eyes square- ly. Then good Peter married -Ida Winters, ~ golden-haired, blue-éyed, petite, who did not know the Bible from Shakespeare nor Shakespeare | from Longtellow, the only and spoiled {child of a father who had never de- nied her anything. People said she wasn't the wife for Peter, Peter thought her very much the wife for him—at first. That was during the brief honeymoon before she began to want things. Even those wildly extravagant desirps at first | made her doubly interesting becuuse Peter had never known a woman could have such whimsies. But when she demanded ugly Aapping galoshes: |insisted that she must have a: $25 | straw hat during a zero spell; and a | gauze dress that barely reached her | knees, and a_new wrist watch because | the shape of her perfectly good one was not the very latest; and a $200 fur during the dog days—then Peter opened his brown eyes at how very dear this wife of his could be, and he set down very gently but firmly a number 10 shoe with “thus far and no farther” It was the fur that brought this ultimatum. Only a few months before he had paid a $150 for Winter furs. 1da, trying not to laugh at the puzzled expression in Peter's eyes, poutingly reminded him that *“other men’s wives” had all of these things. ould you rather be ‘other men's "> asked Peter gravely.

Then Ida went home to her father. Peter did not follow, nor did he =" her up or send her word of any kind.

Not to his inmost soul would he admit the desolation that had swept his life. If he kept on acting as though nothing had happened maybe there would come a time when it would seem that way, or perhaps Ida—but that thought he thrust hastily from him. He could not go and bring her home. If she came it must be of her own accord. with the admision that their life was not to be wrecked by her extrava- gance. And Ida was Ida! Two years passed thus. One blus- tery evening Peter was lounging be- tore the fireplace smoking his old pipe when, as though the picture he saw in the cloud of smoke before him was realized, she came into ‘the room. It was a paler, thinner, less golden Tda, with less aggressiveness, but a n quiet confidence— da in- matured for two had to come, a little gasp. “Is is true? ou’d better let me take that snow- covered fascinator off yvour head.” he said, doing it as he spoke. “Is what true?” “Estelle Loomis.” “I cxpect it is.” “Peter!” There was agony in Ida's voice that was precious to Peter. “What have you been these years, Ida?” “Working." Peter sat bolt upright “You working? At why?” “Do you know what doing all what?
