A MIRACLE
Do you believe the age of miracles
has passed? Then read the storv of
Buby Miller.
Ruby Miller was born at Columbia
S. C. At the age of two year as
the result of nn attack of scarlet fev-
er she Io.t her hearing nnd her eye-
sight. Her parents kept her with
them until she was six years old. and
was then persuaded to send her to Ce-
dar Springs the South Carolinn school
for the deaf and blind. Hy this time
he had forgotten the few words she
bad learned when she was stricken
and was in truth but a little animal
incapable of expressing any want or
aecd.
Skilled devoted teachers took her
in charge. They made slow progress
at first and in fact made no progress
at all for more than a year. But fin-
ally they penetrated the double veil
and behind the darkness and the sil-
ence they found a living loving human
aonl and began to develop it.
Ruby' Miller is now about sixteen
Tears old- She is well educated as
most girls of her age. She reads and
writes ''proficiently! she has some
knowledge of music; she knows his-
tory and geography and mathematics;
and above all she is happy in being
alive.
She talks with her vocal chords
having learned 'to do so by holding her
fingers on the. lips 'and throat of oth-
ers who were talking. Her friends talk
to her by means of the finger alpha-
bet. She is a well developed normal
happy girl with the exception that
he cannot see and she cannot hear
any 'sound.
She hasjjthe same feelings as other
girls of her age. She knows love and
Jealousy and fear and hatred not of
persons but of evil things.
Do you know any greater miracle
ever wrought than this in the case of
this little deaf and blind girl? Was
any greater thing ever done than to
awaken a human soul in darkness and
silence and develop it and bring into
harmony with the world and to an
understanding of God's love ?
Truly the loving patient teachers
at Cedar Springs have wrought a mir-
acle. .$
KOCH AND LOKENZ
Foch commander-in-chief of the
allied armies has just completed n
triumphal tour of the United States.
He was given the most enthusiastic
demonstrations by cheering crowds
at every stop.
Dr. Lorenz a noted Austrian .sur
geon recently came to this country
to conduct clinics for crippled chil
dren. He is admittedly the most
skriled man in his line in the world.
He came here not to earn money but
to give his services free as an ex-
pression of his gratitude for the food
and clothing given the children of
Europe during and since the world
war by the people of America.
His coming was so bittlery relent-
ed by American surgeons that he has
felt deeply hurt nnd has threatened
to give up his work anil return to his
home in disgust.
It is only fair to .say that not all
American surgeons took this resent-
ful position but so many of them did
that the affair became a national
scandal.
We claim to be tired of war but
we still give our highest praise to the
aillltary hero and give only criticism
or at best neglect to thc whose
work lies in the arts of peace or in
relieving the listres of suffering
humanity.
We have a long load to travel be-
fore we may honestly claim that ours
is really civilized country.
OUR PLEASURES
Americans are spending four times
as much on candy chevying gum and
soft drinks as on the army and navy
says a government authority-
Well what of it?
Money spent for wnr purposes goes
for the creation of miseiy. What we
spend for chewing gum and sweets
add to the joy of life.
All work and no play makes Jack

HUGO MAN HAS PATENT
TO DRIVE OFF WEEVILS
Features of a newly invented de-
vice which it is claimed will drive
boll weevils from cotton fields was
exhibited this week to business men
at Hugo Oklahoma by R. J. House
of Hugo the inventor.
The device is for driving the weevil
from the cotton rather than killing
them.
It consists of a metal tank mount-
ed on the handles of a plough with
distributer arms on each side. A
piece of gunny ov cheese cloth hangs
from these and is kept moistened by
the liquid coming thiotigh the dis-
tiibuting arms.
The inventor maintains that the
cloth dragging over the cotton plants
as the fanner ploughs will keep the
weevil fiom doing any damage
NEW AIRPLANE WING
A new type of airplane wing which
the inventor claims will practically
revolutionize flying considerably im-
pressed high officials of the British
Air Ministry at a recent trial in Lon-
don. The new wing is shaped and
pointed at the tips like those of a
huwk giving a minimum of resis-
tance. It attained the remarkable
speed of 220 miles an hour when fit-
ted to an ordinary airplane fuse-
lage and engine of no special horse
power.
Roll stockings are like reputations
-hard to keep up.
