HOW ======
THE MINDS OF DEAF I’EOl’LE
VISUALIZE BY “I’lCXUHE."—
“1 cnnnot claim to have any scien
tific knowledge of the subject,"
writes n correspondent of a London
newspaper, "but I huve the experi
ence of many years’ Intercourse
with hundreds of deuf people, those
who were born deaf, or became
deaf at so early an age that they
had not yet learned to speak.
Dumbness Is, of course, rare, and
the only reason totally deaf people
cnnnot form words Is because they
have never heard them. 1 am cer
tain that these people think ‘in pic
tures.’ They visualize the objects
and scenes they are thinking of,
and do not give them any names,
until taught them. As an example
of this: Some time ago I wrote to
u deaf woman, who had received
the ordinary education provided for
deaf children, suggesting shj might
make some cushion covers for a
‘Sale of Work.' She Is over fifty,
of good Intelligence, and has a
comfortable home. A few days la
ter she brought me the note asking
what the words ‘cushion covers’
meant. I explained to her by manu
al signs what these words repre
sented, and she understood a^l
made some nice ones. Up to that
time she had never known what
these objects were called, or the
name of a ‘cushion,’ although hav
ing the same In her own rooms and
using them. It Is this lack of vo
cabulary in those who have been
deaf since before they were old
enough to acquire language, that
makes total deafness the terribly
isolating affliction It Is.”
How Chief Executive of
Nation Might Be Chosen
Should any other third candidate for
the Presidency poll enough votes to
carry a state or two. It is quite pos
sible neither of the nominees of the
two main parties would receive an
electoral majority, 200 votes, required
to elect. The Constitution provides
that in case no party has a majority
In the electoral college the house of
representatives shall choose a Chief
Executive from among the three high
est candidates In the general election.
The vote would be by states, each
state being entitled to one vote. If
there should be a deadlock when
Mnrch 4 arrives, the Vice President
Elect would become President, Just as
in the death or disability of the
President. If there should not be a
majority In the electoral college for
any of the candidates for the Vice
Presidency, the senate would elect
the Vice President from the two lead
ing candidates for that office, each
senator being entitled to one vote.
The Vice President thus elected then
would become President.—Kansas City
Star.
How Honor I* Accorded
The roll of persons considered eligi
ble for the Uall of Fame is selected
l>y an electorate consisting of 100 of
the present-day leaders of the nation,
representing college presidents, profes
sors of history, scientists, authors, ed
itors, high public otlicials, men of af
fairs and judges, both national and
state. Names for the honor roll are
nominated by the public and are then
submitted to this electorate, which
has been selected by the council of
the University of New York. No name
is considered unless it is that of a
man or woman whose home was in
what is now the territory of the Unit
ed States, and no person can be chosen
who has not been dead for ten or
more years.
How Exercise Reduces Fat
One pound of avoirdupois is hard
to remove by exercise, says Arthur H.
Steinhaus, physiologist, Chicago. He
cites these comparisons to prove his
point:
“In order to wear off a single pound
of fat by exercise, the average sized
Individual must either fence eight
hours or wrestle five and one-half
hours; walk 144 miles at the rate of
two miles per hour or play football
hard for four and four-fifths hours;
push up from the floor 5,714 times or
climb to the top of Washington monu
ment 48 times; shovel 57 tons of sand
Into a wheelbarrow or play ping-pong
17% hours.”—Modern Medicine.
vv HaI DEfLATiON MEANS
The following is the first of a
series of articles on economic
topics by Professor G. F. War
ren of Cornell University, one
of American’s foremost econo
mists.
Deflation or Reflation?
The price level must be
raised to the debt level or the
debt level must be lowered to
the price level. This is a matter
of grim reality that cannot be
cured by psychology, confi
dence, or government lending.
We must choose between de
flation or reflation. No count
ry like3 to change it3 monetary
system, nor does any country
like to go through wholesale
bankruptcies and continue to
have millions of unemployed.
Our choice is not between
two desirable things. It is be
tween two undesirable things.
Merely raising the well-known
objections to either proceedure
does not commend the other.
The question is, Which is
worse ?
Effects of Continued Deflation
If we wish to go through
with deflation, we may as well
proceed with the bankruptcies,
foreclosures, and public de
faults and get them over with.
Merely postponing by lending
some money or attempting to
hold up the price of this or that
will accomplish very little.
If deflation is completed, the
following are some of the in
numerable adjustments yet to
be made:
At the new price levels pud
lic and private debts .are nearly
equal to the national wealth.
These debts will have to be re
duced. The only plan thus far
proposed for reducing them is
bankruptcy and private adjust
ment. Thi3 will probably re
quire three or four years for
the major adjustment and a
generation to complete the pro
cess. While the more serious
part of this is taking plade
bankrupt homes, farms, and
other properties will always be
How Lumber la “Preserved”
A new and improved contrivance for
saturating the tissue of logs with
chemical fluids to render the wood
proof against insect attack and decay,
or to color it, is the invention of
George I.nu, of Jamaica, N. Y.
Tliis machine can impregnate a log
throughout its length with a preserv
ing or coloring liquid. The liquid is
forced at high pressure into the hood
which holds one end of the log. This
drives the sap out and impregnates
the entire log from bark to hark.—
Sunday Magazine of the Philadelphia
Record.
How Turtle Egg* Hatch
Turtles and tortoises lay spherical
eggs covered by a parchment-like or
calcareous shell. The eggs are buried
in sand or loose earth, where they
hatch without other incubation, and
the parent reptiles take no particular
care of the young.
How Dynamite Ezplodea
Pvnamite can he exploded by sharp
blows between hard substances, but In
.a-actice it is exploded by a detonator
containing fulminate of mercury fired
by a fuse or an electric spark.
for sale at less than new costs
of construction, regardless of
how lew these costs may fall.
Therefore little building of any
kind is to be expected. Conse
puently mos^. of the basic in
dustries will operate at low
capacity and severe unemploy
ment will be continuous. Bus
iness cycles in such a period
will be suppressed cycles.
The vigorous efforts to re
duce taxes will do well if they
succeed in making cuts equal
to the new taxes necessary to
feed the unemployed. Some
shifting to other forms of tax
ation may occur. Public debts
will increase and some of the
government unit3 will find it
impossible to meet their obli
gations. It will be years be
fore taxpayers get these debts
paid.
Adjusting a pnue icvci u-ywu
requires much more time than
adjusting it up. It is not diffi
cult to adjust public and pri
vate debt^ to a higher level,
but it is difficult to reduce
them. To adjust debts it mere
ly requires that the usual pur
chases be made at a new price
level with the usual percentage
of credit transactions. To ad
just debts down means the slow
process of bankruptcy. Bank
ruptcy acts like a house of
cards—each bankruptcy stalls
another.
Bank deposits will decline
because of the reduced amount
of business and the lower pric
es at which business is doqe,
and the tendency to use cash
rather than checks. This latter
movement is encouraged by
tear oi Danas, iaca ui uanas,
lower interest payments on de
posits, charges for checks, tax
es on checks, and high postage
rates. Many further bank fail
ures will occur.
Because of severe unemploy
ment some workers are work
ing for extremely low wages,
but it is not to be expected that
the general wage level will de
cline to the price level. The
long-time tendency is for wages
to rise as the output per work
er increases. Whenever the
debts are liquidated so that
business can proceed, wages
will be far above pre-war.
Interest rates will be much
below pre-war for safe securi
ties, but a large part of the
business will be cn such a pre
carious basis that for some
years rates for agriculture and
industry may be high. Interest
payments on bank deposits
will be decidedly reduced. It
will be impossible for life-in
surance companies, universi
ties, hospitals and other insti
tutions that depend on invest
ments to keep up their in
comes. Life insurance rates
rates will probably rise. The
average size of policies will be
reduced.
