PAGE TWO THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, MAY 8, 1912. IN BEHALF JFJLIND BABIES Kiist Htnto tmir Providing For Their Cnre, Mnlntcnnnco and Education. During the sessions of thti Inst Legislature no bill created ruoro In terest or enthusiasm than that known ns the Blind Baby 13111. In troduced In the Assembly by Assom 'blyman Speaker, of St. Lawrence county, anil In the Scnato by Sena tor Coats of Franklin county. Not long ngo, this paper publish ed a short Item stating that tho only Institution In the United States giv ing proper caro to blind babies from tho day they aro blinded, was estab lished and Is maintained by tho In ternational Sunshine Society, a phil anthropic nowspapor association, of which .Mrs. Cynthia Westovcr Alden, writer and publisher, Is president general. 'Now the Catholic Institute will caro for tho Catholic hllnd. Several years ago, Mrs. Alden, In tho rounds of her nowspapor work, discovered that there was no pro vision for blind babies in the State of Now York under tho ngo of eight years; that is, tho Commissioner of Education could not appoint a blind child under eight to any educational institution for caro. On further investigation sho learned that children blinded In In fancy could not live to the ago of eight without special caro and not becomo hopelessly idiotic or feeble minded; that children of tho poor blinded In early infancy were rele gated to the Idiot departments or public Institutions, or to the poor house in county districts, where they picked their eyes with their lingers, bumped their heads against the wrll, pounded themselves with their little lists, until some injury would result In the baby dying. Or, if the child lived, It met a worse fate mental blindness. The queer actions of the child led tho general public to jump at tho conclusion that It was an idiot, when it was simply a little soul trying to find Itself, and no friendly hand extended In help. Little Hacnel was taken from Randall's Island when a tiny little thing, where sho had ibeen sent 'be cause of having had spinal menin gitis, also measles, which left her blind. From tho hospital thero sho was taken by tho International Sun shine Society and put with other do pendent blind children that could be collected, all thrown away by the public as not worth saving. Eighty-two of these little folks were given the best possible nursing under graduate nurses, the best training under graduate kindergart ners. with tho result that only two failed to respond mentally one was a little boy who had bumped his head against the wall until he got it out of shape. The next thing was to get the world to understand that it should at least give its blind babies tho care that it was giving dumb ani mals. The Society got a bill through the Legislature in 1908 which provided for the dependent New York City children. That was four years ago. Hut the blind bab ies outside of the city had no pro tection, so the Seaker-Coats bill just signed by Governor Disc gives tho State Commissioner of Education power to see that blind children aro educated and cared for from the day they are blinded, appointed, not committed, to an institution for care. Little Rachel is only one of eigh ty or more children who have 'been educated in the Blind Rabies' Homo, demonstrating the fact that they needed only care to prove them selves bright, normal, healthy youngsters. Tho story of Rachel Askenas, ten years old and blind, and how she lobbied for the Blind Babies' Bill probably has no parallel In Interest and sentiment in the annals of tho State Legislature. It appealed with additional force to the people of Troy for the reason that a Trojan, Seymur Van Sant voord, the Governor's legal adviser, figured consplcuusly in the stops that marked tho progress of the measure. In fact, tho little blind girl selected Mr. Van Santvoord as her special champion, and a Btrong attachment sprang up between them, lie has In his possession letters and photographs sent to him by Rachel from time to time that he values highly and will over cherish as me mentos of one of tho happiest and most impressive incidents of his career. THE HOBO WHY? Every country newspaper publish er has more or less experience with the tramp printer who comes from no one knows where and leaves Just as suddenly when the roving spirit again .seizes him. Marguorito Miller, associate editor ot the Rochester (Ind.) Daily Re publican, philosophizes on this mys terious clas.- of wandering mortals in a recent issue as follows: "There Is no greater mystery than that of ifc. and nnnn more inconi-, prehenslble than man. Why one is1 born to wealth, another to poverty and another to mental greatness, no system of theology has yot explain ed or philosophy disclosed to the satisfaction of the devotees thereof. Why do some rlso to great heights of mental, financial and perhaps spiritual progress without apparent effort, another go down In dofeat lighting their destiny overy Inch of the way. whllo another drifts up and down as clrcumstanres forco or fancy dictates. Can all men bo good men in splto of birth or environment? Aro men bad becauso thoy must, or drift becauso it Is their lot to drift? From time to tlmo ono of this latter class visits this print shop, asking for a job, nnd thoy of all men make ono ponder on tho mystery of llfo. Usually tho hobo printer arrives dirty, unkempt, ragged and palo but never discouraged or sullen. Ho works quietly and every move counts Ho can explain any part of tho work if asked; ho is a living dictionary and encyclopedia combined, and af ter working hours, if ho can bo In duced to talk, you find ho Is versod not only In tho events of tho day, but is also a student ot history and In close touch with tho world's groat poets, great authors and talks with equal grace of tho drama, music or art. And thero ho Bits In his filthy rags, a genius in mind, a master In Intellect, a purveyor of knowledgo far superior to thoso who employ him. Nameless ho cornea and name less ho goes, making no apology for his appoarnnco, asking no favors, un obtrusive, yot affaiblo and kind. No douibt but he has a besetting etn, but why has ho? Tho Christian would say ho needs conversion, tho mental scientist would say ho must strengthen his will whllo theosophy declares ho is following tho star of his destiny, and can rlso only through rebirth. Who Is right? Religion has not solved tho problem or lessened crlmo. Tho greatest crimes, carefully plannod, cold blooded murders, aro committed among tho clorgy and highly educat ed, thoroforo education will not re move penal institutions or poverty, so the only thing that remains is for tho man to study himself and learn tho why of his own naturo and learning, his future will tako caro of Itself." Religious Toleration In Japan. Very significant, as an indication of tho increasing friendliness with which tho ancient East now views Christianity, was tho rccont confer ence of religions held in Tokio, Ja pan, Kays tho Christian Herald. It was tho first occasion on which Christianity was formally and ofll clally recognized In that country as entitled to equal rights and privi leges with Buddhism and Shlntolsm. At tho conference were fifty-six Buddhists, thirteen Shlntolsts and seven Christians (tho latter repre senting .Methodist, Presbyterian, Baptist. Congregational, Episcopal, Catholic and Greek churches), and the Imperial government was repre sented by four members of the cabi net and several chiefs of bureaus. It was a very dignified and exclusive assemblage and no outsiders were admitted. All the delegates united In a joint resolution favoring co-operation in politics, education and re ligion for the Improvement of social and moral conditions and tho de velopment of civili7ation, " each re ligion, however, strictly observing its own provinrp of operations." Harmonious relations wero declared to be the nation's prosperity." It would bo dllllcult to over-estimate tho Importance of this recognition of the Christian faith in .1 country where it has been under a ban. It will greatly assist In removing tho prejudice which has existed even among the more intelligent Japanese, for government approval goes a long way in Japan. What the emperor and his ministers sanction or permit, no loyal son of Nippon will call in question. Hence great results may flow from tho conference, which should mark tho beginning of a new forward movement in Christian work in that country. THE WEATHER FOR APRIL. Interesting; Report Fm-nislied I'.V Theodore Day. Weather record for April, 1912, compared with other Aprils for near tifty years.

THEODORE DAY. 'Dyberry, Pa., May 1. 1912. PLANTING FOR BIRDS. " Tho question Is often asked as to why our natlvo birds aro becom lug rare, and it is often answered by the absurd statement that it is because women aro uslnc them for millinery purposes," said Prof. H ouriace, state zoologist. In an interview In his ofllco at Harrlsburg recently, lie continued The chief reasons why birds arn becoming rare aro that their natlvo haunts and places of concealment are gradually being destroyed, and ineir natural roou is disappearing, mis is particularly truo or many species 01 oirus that teed upon wild iruus 01 various Kinds. It Is really unbelievable by many persons ns to what a largo number of wild seeds and fruits aro taken as food bv birds. For example the seeds of tho poison Ivy would never bo thought odlblo 'by mankind, yet sev eral species of hlrds aro known to eat them. " In tho efforts to clean tin thick. ots and fonco rows tho various kinds of shrubs, hushes, vines and trees tnat rurnlsh food for birds at differ ent times of tho year havo been de stroyed, and It Is but natural that theso feathered creatures will not continue to llvo In abundanco In re gions whoro their food Is scarce. About all that Is necessary to ro storo tho blrdB, especially of many interesting kinds, Is to bo suro that thoy aro provided with natural food and adequate protection. "To provide tho hirds with rood it Is best to arrango that this bo dono by natural moans, and wo in turn must plant for them thoso plants which will furnish thorn tholr most deslrod fruits. Among theso aro such as tho following: June borry, shad berry or aorvlco borry, scientifically known as nmalanchlor, tho mulberries (both English and Jtusslan), early sweet varieties of strawborrlcs, sweot early cherries (like tho Governor wood), haw thornc, viburnum, first grape, fox grape, grcenhrler, Juniper or cedar apple, holly,, barberry, mountain ash, English Ivy, Vlrglnln creeper or Ilvc-leafed Ivy nnd hackborry. " Theso aro among tho plnntB that furnish natural food for the birds during the cntlro year, oven while tho snows lay deep on tho ground 'birds of Bovoral kinds will feast up on tho grapes which thoy seek on tho wild grapo vines, and In tho spring time ns tho robins nnd other birds end tholr wearying flight from tho South, thoy will quickly bo able to find tho berries of tho Ivy on somo old wall, or tho hardened berries of tho hackborry treo still clinging to the trees where thoy grew nnd ripen ed last summer. " Such a list of food plants as giv en nbove Is Naturo's menu served In courses, giving food that will lie taken hy tho birds of various Tdnils during tho entire year. Among the birds that have been known to feed upon the fruits of tho plants men tioned aro such as tho follwing: Cuckoos, bluebirds, flycatchers, 'blue jays, bobolink, brown thrasher, cat bird, cedarbird, gracklo or black bird, kingbird, downy woodpecker, hairy woodpecker, and wood thrush." How to Destroy .Mosquitoes nnd Files. Prevent tho mosquito and tho fly from breeding and you will put an end to both. Flies breed principally In decayed flesh and manure. They like tho dirty alleys where garbage and refuse are scattered about. Keep your streets and your back yards clean and you will deprive tho lly of Its breeding places and it will cease to multiply. Tho mosquito breeds in stagnant water. The rusty old cans that, half filled with water, lie on dump heaps and in back alleys are what the mos quito likes. Tho barrels of rain wa ter that stand under the eaves 01 some houses, tho stagnant pools in meadows, swamps all of theso aro excellent breeding places for the mosquito. The varieties of this Insect that infest this part of tho country will not, as a rule, breed In running wa ter. Thoroforo drain your swamps and stagnant pools. If you can't drain them pour crude oil over them. This will kill the young of tho mos quito. Clean up your towns. Don't allow cans and barrels to Ho about where they can collect rain water. A clean town will 'bo Hyless and mosquitoless. Don't give either of these pests a chance to "breed and you will not bo troubled by them. Karl de Schwelnitz, Executive Sec retary, Pennsylvania Society for the Prevention of Tuberculosis. TO HIM THAT HATH. Locomotive engineers evidently believe that to him that hath tho highest wages should bo given the greatest increase. But few peoplo realize how well these men are paid in comparison with other workers possessing similar skill and training. Tho Interstate Commerce Commis sion reports show that In 1910 tho average daily pay of the enginemen was 4.55, as compared with ?3.83 in 1902; and the Bureau of 'Railway Economics shows that their compen sation made a further advance of 5.2 In 1911. thus raising it to $4.78. Just how many days per year the men work it Is Impossible to say, but wo have hero shown their yearly compensation figured at 300 days In comparison with the av erage annual pay of other male laborers in the United States. This average of other laborers Is based upon the wage payments of tho Steel Corporation, together with statistics published iby the Labor Department and the Census Bureau: Enginemen Other Englno 300 Days Laborers men's Excess $GGG 609 593 G14 571 545 557 567 1911 $1,434 $780 75G 739 721 719 G91 G79 GG3 1910 1,305 1909 1,332 1908 1,332 1907 1,290 190G 1.23G 190E 1.23G 1904 1,230 1903 1902 1,203 GG1 G45 542 507 1.152 NOTE Tho enginemen's pay has Increased 24.5 , while that of oth er workmen has Increased 20.9. Chief Stone has been quoted as saying that it is tlmo to teach tho public tho lesson that freight rates should bo advanced In order to per mit tho payment of higher wages. Tho public, however, by which is meant tho great mass of our work ing population, is very poorly paid ns compared with engineers, and Is In no position to mako further con tributions to tho latter through tho payment of higher freight rates. Moreover, tho enginemen are em ployes nnd not partners, and what thoy should bo paid has nothing to do with either freight rates or net earnings, and Is purely a question of what they aro worth. Indeed, were thoy to base tholr argument upon not earnings, thoy would apply for a re duction of pay, since tho railroads are now earning only about 4.58 on their capitalization, as compared with 5.54 In 1907 and 5.38 in 1902. Unless both railroads and tho pub lic wish to bo exploited by him that hath, they should now present a united front of opposition to tho de mands of tho onglnomon. Wall Street Journal of April 25, 1912. MOTHER FORGETS BABIES. Wllkes-Uarro. (Mrs. Mary Auvlc Is tho champion absent minded wom an of tho state. Sho was enrouto from Now York to Mauch Chunk last Thursday with her two babies, ono two and a half years old and tho other olght months. When tho train reached Mauch Chunk Mrs. Auvlc calmly gathorod her bundles togeth er and alighted, leaving tho babies behind. Boforo sho romemhored about tho children thoy wero on tholr way to this city, and when tho flyer reached hero Conductor W. S. Campbell re ceived a message asking that tho youngsters be shipped back.

How to euro a cold Is a ploco of fiction that rivals any of tho six host sellers. Tho man who gets In with tho automobllo crowd frequently gets out with his landlord. Graft frequently leads to a bank account and thenco to tho room of the Investigating committee. Many peoplo who aro nblo to work oren't wllUng, nnd thoso who aro willing often turn out to bo unable. Mon may pass a law permitting women to vote, but Just let tho ego- I tlstlcnl creatures try compelling wo men to vote! Thero aro people who nay taxes cheerfully and others who think they would bo willing to do so If they had any property to ho taxed. Spring marrlago ties dissolve eas ily and noiselessly, while others ex plode and re-echo from ono end of the country to tho other. Ono who trios to make you dis contented is not your friend. Envy makes It easy to bollovo that wealth must be acquired dis honestly. After looking tho men over care fully, tho surprising thing to us Is that women aro over jealous. Is there a man with nose so red who has never to himself said, "guess I'll cut it out?" Abo Martin truthfully remarks that "tho moro a man loves his wife tho moro It costs him." Only a very pretty girl can afford to look cross, and then she does not want to work at It steadily. When a fellow gets so ho can eat with a fork he thinks he ought to have orchestra music at feeding time. This old world will begin to get better about the tlmo the reformers begin work on themselves. Every girl thinks that she is bet tor to look upon than her photo, not withstanding tho fact that every photo Is supposed to flatter. Along the narrow way, like around the baseball diamond, you must touch all the bases. The hardest thing for a girl to do Is to fall In love with a fellow who no other girl wants. Taking into consideration the fact that most women aro greatly humor ed. It stands to reason that they should all have a senso of humor. Time waits for no man, although It has been known to loaf around a year or two for a woman. Even a man with a wart on his cheek can be tickled to death with it for not being on his nose. Always believe in your friends. It will help them to help themselves to your possessions moro easily. Remember that, though each Is the architect of his own llfo, yet he has not the ordering of the mater ial. ARIEL. (Special to The Citizen.) Ariel, May 4.

Mrs. Blankenburg. wife of tho Mayor of Philadelphia, Is ono of the foremost advocates of tho Municipal House-Cleaning plan. It Is expected that Philadelphia will recelvo such a cleaning as It has not had in years. In a pamphlet on this subject, pub lished by Mrs. Blankenburg, for dis tribution to club workers, It is sug gested that public Interest bo aroused by educational methods through tho press and pulpit, nnd that tho women dovoto somo tlmo to tho study of municipal expenses bo that they may know whother tho appropriations for cleanliness and sanitation nro ade quate, and what rights thoy havo under tho local laws to call upon tho authorities to assist In tho work.

BOY SCOUTS EDITED DY ONE OF THEM Vincent Carroll, although not a Scout, assisted tho members of tho local troup at tho licit lire last Jan uary. A report of tho Uro was Bent to Scout headquarters and It was published In tho weekly 'bulletin, Is sued by Boy Scouts of America, Now York. In the write-up, among tho nnmes of other boys, uppoared Vin cent Carroll's. Theso bulletins are sent out all over tho country to Scout Masters to bo used by editors of different papers for publication.

Re ferring to tho clipping In his homo paper, tho western Mr. Carroll said that Vincent's name attracted his at- 1 tentlon, as It happened to bo his name nlso. He wanted to know who Vincent's parents are and where they Sn.'rc.r"W4SS WS: l iWo cent Carroll. The manner In which boys of tho TTnltorl Rrntoa nrn tnlrincr 11 r onnnHnirl is shown by the fact that in tho last nine weeks, 22,500 boys havo re ceived badges from the headquarters of tho Boy Scouts of America. Jas. E. West, Chief Scout Executive of tho Boy Scouts of America, who mado this announcement points out that in other words tho average has been about 2,500 badges a week. Of tho total number 1 7,000 boys won Tenderfoot badges, 4,500 won Sec ond Class Scout badges and 1,000, First Class badges. Tho number of Tenderfoot badges awarded to the boys shows that In tho last nine weeks tho boys through out the country havo been qualifying as Tenderfeet, which Is the first state of scouting, at tho rate of about 2,000 a week. Of course, tho boys who got Second Class and First Class scout badges have been engag ing in scouting activities for several months, and already havo obtained their Tenderfoot badges. In tho last nine weeks scoutmasters or tho men who have charge of the troops of boy scouts have been Joining tho scout movement at the rate of about 90 a week. There aro about 24 boys in a patrol so that It is clear that the applications for commissions as scoutmasters and the orders of the boys for badges are in about tho same ratio. Reports coming into National Headquarters confirm in other ways the continued growth of tho scout movement. In Philadelphia, Leo T. Tierney, Executive Secretary, and J. W. Patton, Field Secretary, are working on a basis of organizing one troop of boy scouts every day. SOUTH STERLING. South Sterling, May 7. Mrs. D. J.
