HOW ENGLISH BUND MEN
DID THEIR BIT FOR LONDOn'
LONDON, June 29. (/P)—Interest
ing details as to how blind men
were called in at one phase of the
great war to assist in the defense
of London were made public recent
ly in connection with a campaign
carried out by the combined forces
of the air, army and navy to stimu
late recruiting for reserves for the |
defense of the English metropolis -
in the event of another emergency. ;
One of the inventions on display in j
various parts of the city was a sound
locator, a very complicated instru
^ ment, and one of the most interest
, j ing of the many antiair craft devices
* showed to Londoners.
In the early days of the war the
' j only sound locator was, of course,
1 j the human ear. Commander Raw
j linson, Royal Navy, then in charge
I of the scanty air defenses of the
j city, found the ordinary man’s sense
ot direction by hearing too inaccur
ate. One day he astonished the un
imaginative officers and officials of
Whitehall by asking that several de
tachments of blind men from the
jvarious institutions be sent to his
headquarters. Their keenness of
hearing, it was shown, was of great
assistance in locating Zeppelins on
their way to London. In numerous
cases it was the blind men on duty
at the outposts, far from the noises
i of London, w.ho often distinguished
the hum of the raider’s motors from
ten to 15 minutes before they were
I picked up bv other listeners among
the regular soldiers.
Better Business Codes
Attributed To Rotary
CLEVELAND, June 28 (/P)—With a
trend of business toward better qual
ity, better production and more sim
I
plified selling and transportation fa
cilities, will come a demand for a
greater confidence among men who,1
knowing each other better, will be
come more friendly and then more
honest, Arthur H. Sapp, chairman of
I the committee on business methods,
I said in an address before Rotary In
ternational today.
“In the olden days standards were
largely the result of religious philoso
phies, the taboos raised by govern
mental laws and statutes, and the
struggles for territorial expansion and
commercial advantage,” Mr. Sapp de
clared. “These have been the impel
ling forces behind the ethics of per
sonal, civic and business life thruout
history. The idealism of Rotary is
an expressed desire to improve all
human relationships on a common ba
sis of good will and understanding.
“Codea of standards of correct prac
tice have found a place in the pro
gram for higher standards of busi
ness practice and with far reaching
results. More than 94 codes have
been adopted by various craft and
professional organizations in the last
three years, largely as a result of our
work. The code of correct practice is
naturally the outgrowth of a trade as
sociation.
“Men everywhere recognize that
the conditions under which business t
is enacted are going through a very
rapid change.”
