This is the need of the blinded ex-service men, said Leo Cummings, at a meeting held under the auspices of the department of Braille, Chicago Chapter, American Red Cross, June 1. Mr. Cummings lost his eyesight just before the war, and he considers it . the greatest luck of his life that he was admitted to "Evergreen," the gov- ernment school for our blinded ex- service men, located at Baltimore, Md. He received the training that is trans forming 500 blinded ex-service men into economic and social assets. Mr. Cummings believes that if any good thing can come out of the war it will be that the civilian blind will profit by what has been learned in the re- habilitating of the military blind. Hungry for Literature. He praised the work that has been accomplished by Miss Madeleine 8. Loomis, volunteer director of the de- partment of Braille, Chicago Chapter, American Red Cross and the tran- gcribers who are turning in many sheets of current literature each week. "They are hungry for it," said Mr. Cummings, "and they need it more than people who have their sight." Miss Loomis explained that the ex- pense of machine made books and the fact that hand made books are more easily read by the beginner, the need for Braille transcribers is pressing. Marquis Baton, Chairman of the Chicago Chapter, said that during the war the women of Cook, Lake and Du Page counties sent over-seas each week, work that had a cash value of $180,000 and he knew that this spirit of service was not lost, but was on call when there was something big enough and strong enough to warrant it."

Chairman Thomas of the Montana entertainment commit- tee is going ahead with all prepara- tions for the reception of the nation's chief executive, on the assumption that Congress will adjourn in time to enable the President to carry out his program of stopping off at Missoula while en route to Alaska. If permission can be obtained from the Department of Interior, there will be novelty added to the greeting of President Harding by representatives of all Indian tribes in Montana. Chief Two Guns White Calf of the Glacier National Park Blackfeet tribe wants to lead this delegation of tribal chiefs to Missoula with the idea of giving the Great White Father a genuine American reception. That there is a strong desire upon the part of news- paper editors from every State in the Union to meet President Harding is expressed in the large number of res- ervations already made to join the spe- cial train which will leave Chicago July 9, on its journey to Montana. The itinerary, besides including stops in the agricultural sections of Mon- tana and in twenty or more Montana towns, calls for a two days' tour of Glacier and Yellowstone National Parks and a trip up Flathead Lake on FAITHFUL CURATOR HONORED AT GARRETT Dedicate Memorial Fountain to "Daddy" Mars A surprise party for Robert R.
