YOUTH IS WELL KNOWN HERl Thomas Cutsl'orili Kntered the Uni versity Two Years Ago ami Is Sow a Most Popular Mouther of Student Hotly. Blindness is a fearful affliction, but that it need not cut off ent'irelj the usefulness of the victim has been demonstrlaed by Thomas Cutsforth, of Kiddle, Oregon, who has com pleted an apparatus, for testing the comparative ability of the blind to learn, says the Portland Journal. Mr. Cutsforth is one of two blind stu dents at the State University. By using Mr. Cutsforth's device, an instructor mav determine what method of presenting study material is bent suited to the individual blind student.. The apparatus is a box foui 'inches wide, eisht inches long and four inches deep. Under a movabh top, a belt of canvas runs under twc rollers, one at each end. By-turning a handle on the outside of the box, the canvas can be made to revolve. Around the rollers, and on top ol the canvas, is fastened a strip of pa per on which are words' in the dots of the alphabet for the blind. In the top of the box is an opening one b two and one-half inches, with slant ing edges. Through this opening a section of the paper is exposed. In feeling the print through the aper ture as the handle is turned, the fingers of the student rest pn trcross piece that gives the paper a solia background. Words can thus be presented at varying speeds. Tests are given tc determine how quickly the subjec can acquire a lesson from the sens, of touch only; then a test to see ii the speed is increased when the in structor speaks the words white tin student is feeling the impression or. the paper, then a combination of pa per, instructor's prompting, and repetition by the student after the instructor. "The box makes possible experi ments to show the idiosyncrasies ol any blind learner," said Ii Ii. H Wheeler, instructor in psychology "This is not the only contribution b Mr. Cutsforth. ire has discovered illusions of the blind and has !on research work in dreams of the blind. His is, indeed, some of thr best work that has been done in thh phase of psychology." Leslie Blades, or San Dimas, Cal., tho other blind student, has submit ted a thesis on the problem of the best ways to present a study material to the blind. The work of the twc men In this department is ultimately to be published. WTIKXTS AUK IMJMtoX i.;.

People who have seen and bought them- are positively amazed at these wonderfully low prices, and wonder how it can be done. To be perfectly frank, if we had just bought them in the regular way, same as the average merchant, we could not afford it for a single moment. But each and every one of these "Star" ticketed items were purchased by Mr. Harth at way below regular market price, and as a result of shrewd and careful manipulation. In addition to this is the modern method adopted by us of being satisfied with a very close margin, but figuring on the quantity business. Were we to simply sit down ana1 wait, our business would not be what it is today. We have kept seven sales people busy for the past eight weeks; about as many as all the other Roseburg clothing stores combined. They are not here just for the fun of it, but because our business requires it. Just take our tip, if you are interested in the "Star" specials, buy what you want and need, without a moment's delay, before we are cleaned out on them. Wonderful Sweater Coat "Star" Specials At 98 cents We doubt if these Sweaters can be dupli cated for any less than $2.50 to $3.00 in a regu lar way. There are about two dozen left at this writing. There will be rfo more at this price af ter they are gone. At 98 cents UNION SUIT "Star". Special Another big bargain, avay out of the ordin ary. You would be lucky if you obtain such a quality at $1.50 to $1.75, but this lot is being run off here at 98c. "STAR" HOSIERY SPECIAL At 12k Selling such 20c staple black hose for 12 l-2c a pair is like giving $20 gold pieces for $12; for the price of staple black cotton hose never fluc tuates. This is just a special line. We bought extra low and sen ;ordingly. ac I K K i P Amongst Others 50 Suspenders 2j)Q Not imaginary 50c values, but actual bona fide 50c qualities.
