B LIGHTHOUSES FOR THE BLIND. [ Atlanta, Ga., May 21?In the State !i of North Carolina live 1563 of 57,-ji 272 blind people of the United States, j' according to figures given out by the 11 B* Southern headquarters of the com- 1 mittee for lighthouses for the blind | here. North Carolina ranks fifteenth i 1 P. among the 4 9 States listed according|< to blind persons per 100,000 popula- 1 tion and of the above mimhw li fare white and 623 negroes; 929 of'i the whites are native born and 2 J t -^foreign born. The statistics show;< <VAt there are now 275 blind persons[l ^^ eing cared for in North Carolina < ^institutions. t The cotnnilttee for lighthouses for t the blind of which President Warren t G. Harding is honorary chairman, t was founded in New York 15-years > ago by Miss Winifred Holt. Several it "lighthouses" as they are called ?j places of instruction for blind per-1 f (tone to nnnhlo tlin?n trv If supporting and to provide broader and more renumerative fields of labor?were established at that time under Miss Holt's direction. They proved so successful that now lighthouses are functioning in Italy and France. PlanR are now under way for extending the United States so that blind people everywhere will be assisted. Sponsored and supported by souie of the greatest national lights in finance, industry and politics, tbe committee is about to launch an American appeal for $2,000,000 with which) to broaden and extend the scope of It3 work at home. Contributions niny. be addressed to Lewis L. Clarke, | Treasurer, Committee for Llghthous-j e.i for the Blind, 111 East Fifty-( ninth Street, New York City. ! Among other interesting data con-, tained in the committee's statement regarding the blind is the fact that of 29,242 cases investigated in this country, 1900 of that number .ere born without siplit nn,l IIipsp 700 were the offspring of parents who wedded first cousins. Of the total ! < blind population in America. 797fi^ ? are earning their own living; 6783 ; are white and 1103 negroes. The ; above figures include all sightless t persons actually making their own ( way independent of others, whose vo- ( cations vary from that of agricultur- 5 alist to store clerk and clergyman. . o PUBLISH SLACKER 1 LISTS, SAYS LEGIOX ( tuen wiio soncd Honoramy willing to Undergo Tempoi^ary Fmbarassracut Indianapolis, Ind., May 22?Assur- 1 an'ces are coming into national headquarters of the American Degion ' from members in all parts of the 1 country that even though their names ! have been erroneously included on lists of draft deserters they are willing to endure this temporary embar- 1 rassment in order that the real slack- ' ers may be held up to permanent shame. In some localities legion posts are checking the lists befor e publication. Relative to errors that have crept into the slacker lists, National Com- t mander F. W. Galbraith. Jr., said: "The Amcriran T.ecrinn vr\ ran son to regret the issuanoc and pub- J lication of the draft deserters lists, i Tha t publication has shown there are so many errors in thcse lists is inevitable in the handling of oiv hundred and sixty thousand names.

"Friends, relatives and neighbors know who served and who did not ;erve their country and newspapers nave quickly made amends for unintentional injury at the hands of the government. Legion posts throughout the country stand ready to assist in J 'learing up any confusion. It has not >een a source of bitterneso to vet-' f n hn tnninnt-orilt' ^.1 o ! he slackers. At most it has been an ' innoying experience. The bitterness,! he anger end shame are felt only by he real slackers, the men whose tames are on the lists and will stay | here. "I believe that nine out of ten ex-! service men are willing to be slightly) md temporarily embarrassed if they, eel that the slackers of the country ire. at the same time, b'ing rightful-! y and permanently embarrassed, the J nore quickly since errors are being' tuickly cleared up by individuals an<li >y the American Legion and similar, organizations. "As a matter of fact, publication if these lists gives the opportunity! of forever clearing the names of the; nen who served, which otherwise night through error be stained-1 Newspapers are doing a patriotic ser-! ice in printing the lists, for it is of. .he utmost importance that the records be immediately and finally leared.
