& WHAT EX-SENATOR WflUll]fll(_E T0 SEE Blind ‘Statésman, .Hoping for - Sight of His Wife By Norris Quinn Washington, Oct. 214—After more than 30 years in perpetual darkness, ex-Senator Thomas P. Gore of Okla- homa has been given hope that sight may be restored. If the treatment he is now under- going at the hands of a Boston spe- cialist is successful, what 11 the blind senator, lawyer, schollmaster and sociologist be most eager to see? First ot all, his wife. He courted and wed her 21 years ago, but he has never sen her. Then— His 18-year-old daughter and 10- ear son, whose growth from infancy he has been able to follow only by a pat of the hand. Then— The 30,600 books of his library, Washington, a NE‘VV BRITAIN DAILY HERALD. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1921, —ee e ————————————— whose contents he* holds in his unus- never seen her. Then— where he has served 4 years as sengtor but never saw the Capitol, the White House, the Wash- ington monument or the Potomac Rive{— An automobile. He rides in one daily but they were unknown when he last saw the light of day. ‘World a Mystery In short, Gore wants to see the hundreds of new things that have come into the world in the last 30 years. He wants to see a city for the first time and contrast it with his native farm village, the only community he ever saw. But Gore doesn't really expect to see any of these things. He's not as optimistic as his physicion, Dr. Samuel Harris of Boston. If sight comes, it will be welcome. If it doesn’t—well, Gore is so used to darkness that he doesn’'t miss the glowing world around him. Gore enjoyed natural eyesight un- till he was eight. Then a stick, thrown at a cow by one of his farm lad friends, struck him in the left eye and deprived Mm of its use, Three years later a shaft from a crossbow struck him in the right eye. He had to have the eye removed. For a time Gore was able to dis- tinguish the outlines of large objects. CLOTHING ‘HOUSE You Cannot Want ~ Any Other Kind."

He comes to his office punctually every morning. His secretary reads aloud to him from law books. He pre- pares his case by dictations. PLEDGE HOSPITAL FUNDS. Today’s Session of W. H. M. S. of Methogists Devoted to This Work. Providence, Oct. 21.—The ses- sion of the national convention of the Women’s Homa Missionary society of Methodist Episcopal church yesterday were devoted to pledging of money for building fund hospitals, rest homes and orphanages, and the guaranteeing of scholarshipa for students in the na- tional training schools. Several Phou- sand dollars of nearly $2,000,000 to be raised was procured. More than 800 delegates had registered today. A large committee was appointed to prepare resolutions on disa ment and the enactment of more rigid pro- hibition enforcement laws, not only for lonal enforeement but in all lands under the American flag, picting scenes in their national his- tory. “The 24-cent issue of 1869 shows a picture of the signing of the Dec- laration of Independ§gnce.

Cne of the views advanced by the postal inspectors is that instead of a patient some jealous suitor sent the box to Miss Rosenfeld. e Breath In Health That cough or cold in the head can be ended easily by Hyomei.
