LAW AS TO COLOR BLINDNESS
11 1 '

? mi ??"*?
. . "7
Color blindness does not mean total
loss of sight In ths meaning of the law,
It wan held recently by Judge John T.
Pendleton In the motion division of
Superior court at Atlanta, Oa. ~??
( ? Judge Pendleton's decision cleared
a legal point raised only once before
in the United States, so far as Is shown
L by court records. This was in No*
braika, where both^ the lower court
and the State Bupreme court held that
; color bltndness means total blindness."
? The question was raised In a suit
brought by George L Fallin, who wan
a locomotive engineer for the Atlanta
Joint Terminals, against the Locomo
tive Engineer Mutual Insurance and
Accident association, n . branch of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive En
gineers.
Engineer Fallin, it was set out, be
came color blind while engaged in his
Uns;of duty and was discharged from
bis position. He then applied to the
engineers! association for his Insur
ance-i-$l,500?for the loss of his eye
sight, as stipulated In the policy. The
association, however, declined to pny
the amount on the ground that color
blindness did not CQ.me within the
terms of- the policy concerning blind
ness. Fallin then brought suit in- the
courts through his counsel, City Attor
ney James L. Mayson.

if Chinaman and Hla Queue.
On April 16, at what was once the
village of Fanpoux, I met a Chinese
who was trying to grow a queue. It
was only about a foot long and did

day while out In the fields ?*alvaglng
ammunition, his nose told him be was
In the vicinity of some unsuccessfully
burled r foreigners. lie wasl?|rdenod
by this time to all sorts of disagree
able things^ but the Incident went to
the btic* of his head and only served
to strengthen his belief that be should
grow a queue. Foreigners wear their
hair cut short. He had been In Franco
going on two years and had long since
concluded that he did not want to Imi
tate them. Hence the queue.?World's
Work.
. Tb? old fprtress of Pantslg is rich
in Napoleonic lore. It wak here.that
the man of destiny failed to heed the
intimations of a grand council of his
marshals?Murat, Ney and the rest?
? that his stnr had passed perihelion:
It was here that he upbraided them for
having grown soft In prosperity, and
for opposing the invasion of Bnssfn;
and It was from Dantsig that his le
gions "Jbmped off" for the Ill-fated
Moscow campaign.
