Iiower John Auer and his tools, which he Invented to lighten the work ' of the blind people who toll In the employment Institution at the only skilled work they know that of - caning chairs. IN spite of the fact that the work of replacing1 cane bottoms in ..chairs has been carried on for years, it has remained for an inmate of the blind employment institution of Oregon to perfect the first labor saving device for use in the indus try. True, the appliance does not eliminate hand work entirely, but It , does manage to lighten the work for the blind people and would even prove a time-saver for the more fortunate workers who are still in possession of their vision. No patent has been awarded Mr. Auer, the blind worker who has invatitiul thft little aDDliance. and no patent has been applied 'fori either. John Auer does not seeK a patent because he does not think that any blind man should be de prived of the use of the time-salver and, as he himself explains, even if he did- wish to commercialize his discovery, he hasn't the money to apply for a patent. For years Mr. Auer and his fellow inmates have toiled side by side stringing new cane seats in the dining - room chairs and rocking chairs which people of Portland have sent to the blind employment institution to provide work and a means of live lihood for the unfortunate inmates. ' Recently, while toiling away at the only trade which is left him to provide the necessities of life, the cheerful fellow decided to try a eimple experiment to assist him in finding the correct little slots and eyeholes for the cord which he threaded back and forth in the chair seat. He procured a thin strip of tin and, after carefully sharpening the point, bent the edges of the strip inward until a little channel was provided. The point of the little pick was then inserted in the hole through which the cords are threaded in the side supports of the chair seat and the cord was then threaded swiftly and easily by forcing it along the little guiding channel. ; Appliance Is Simple. The appliance Is simple and it might not find immediate favor with a. man who has two perfectly good eyes he might prefer to thread the cord through the hole without the asistance of the lit tle channel guide. With a blind nvan it is different. Time was for iriejly wasted while he fumbled for the little hole through which the thread was forced, and many time these little holes do not follow a straight course through the wood, buC are of diagonal shape. The work was simplified through the use- of the channel and, regardless of the curved shape of the hole through which the cord must be threaded, the little channel con trivance guided it safely through to the opposite side. Another difficulty was soon to be overcome by a similar device with a curved channel. Auer, after suc cessfully completing the first ap pliance, next turned his attention to a guiding arrangement by which the cords could be weaved under tautly drawn support cords. He rl-feted a similar device with a little curve in it and a sharpened point, the point was forced under the support cord and a little chan nel -was again provided which guided the weaving cord swiftly and surely under the taut buck--viti or cane strips. The inventor confided his find to t F. Myers, superintendent of the institution, who is nxewise Diina ouick to foresee the possi bilities of increased output with such a device, the manufacture of a. sufficient number of the little .ppliances to provide for each ..ir.r In the institution was soon arranged for. Today the work of f i f the inmates has been perceptibly speeded up by use of the simple little channel picks which John Auer perfected in bis leisure time. Inmates Do Other Work. The work of the inmates of-the little institution at 424 East Burn side street Is not confined entirely to replacing cane bottoms In chairs, however. In another room an ex pert piano tuner, with his senses of touch and hearing unimpaired, is employed in restoring the tones of a beautiful upright piano. Skill fully and with untiring diligence he keeps at his task throughout the day, tightening a wire here and loosening one there as his prac ticed ear detects the harsh tones of a discordant note.

SHERIDAN, Or.', Dec. 16. (Special.) The recent wedding here of Miss Anna Cecilia Kirby, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D. J. Kirby, native residents of Oregon and prominently known throughout the Pacific northwest, to Michael' Edward Hayes, was a brilliant church event, solemnized in the Good Shepherd Catholic church. The invitational list of 150 included some of the best-known families of. Oregon and Washington, and Sheri dan was filled with motor parties from outside points for the occasion. Following the double ring ceremony, Father Der0nin officiating, a wedding breakfast was served at the Sheridan . hotel and the couple departed on a wedding trip, later to go to Dubuque, Iowa, where the bride groom is engaged in business and where they will make their home.

It will not be long until the cramped and unwholesome quarters where they labor day after day will be cast aside and the inmates of the institution will be housed in the new building which the state is to construct at once at East -Eighty-fifth and East Glisan streets. With the institution in Its new and commodious quarters, there will be more diversified tasks for the unfortunates to perform. While they are housed in the dingy build ing at 424 East Burneide streets, however, they must be content to cane chairs and make little arti cles of handiwork to be sold at their annual Christmas sale. compositions of Rimsky Korsakoff.

CR1TCHLOW. THOSE who would contend that the French started the war need to examine the records of the early days of the conflict. The attack of the Germans on Liege had found the Belgians entirely unpre pared. However, with forts too weak to stand long against the ter rific artillery of the enemy, the de fenders held out for several days and stayed the onrush of the kaiser's troops. Namur, almost as well fortified as Liege, held out but for a short time, and then fell with its former defenders fleeing for their lives. During these days the French had been mobilizing and putting their forces in position, joffre, supreme commander of the French, had been slowly advancing" his forces. The Belgians had expected the French to arrive and aid them at Liege but their expectations were for. naught. The French had been expected by General Michel at Namur, but here again was disap pointment. The nearest approach to Namur was Dinant, 18 miles dis tant. Namur was the pivot of the French position and its fall was a serious blow to the allied forces along the entire line. On August 20, 1914, which was the first day of the siege of Namur, the French were still struggling to get Into position. General Lan rezac, who was commanding the French fifth army, had urged upon General Joffre the necessity of- a speedier advance into Belgium and the subsequent relief of the strug gling armies of Leman and Michel. However, Lanrezac did not receive orders from his superior to cross the Sambre until the day of August 20. Military critics are of the opinion that it would have been impossible for Lanrezac to make the crossing earlier, due to the fact that it had become necessary for him to send troops to Generals Lan gle and Ruffey in the Ardennes beyond the Meuse. Friday, August 21, a part of Lan rezac's army was still concentrat ing. The date for the advance bad been set for August 23, due to the fact that by this time the English would be in position on the left flank. The French right wing, under General Franchet d'Esperey, was on the Meuse, north of Dinant; the tenth corps held the heights south of the Sambre between Char leroi and Namur, and the third corps was before Charleroi. The 18th corps, which was not up as yet, was to be placed on the left of the south of .Thuin. The reserve devisions of the French army were not in place. It may be said of Lanrezac that the battle ground of Charleroi was not of his selection. The time and the place for the fight was decided by the enemy. Von Bulow had reached the north bank of the river and by noon the German guard made an attack on the bridges of Tamines and Auvelais, before which was the French tenth corps. Later In the afternoon the French troops were driven back, the bridges fell into the hands of the Germans and an advance was made to the vil lage of Arismont, two miles to the south. In the meantime, other por tions of the German attacking force had crossed the Sambre east of Charleroi. On Saturday, August 22, came the main battle of Charleroi. The Frencli, starting the struggle, early in the morning retook the fallen town of Arismont, held it for a time, but fell back when the weight of German artillery made itself felt. To the west there was severe fighting in the streets of Charleroi, where African Turcos met the Prus sian guards and inflicted a great toll of lives. Slowly the French army was forced back by a better prepared and better equipped force. Von Bulow freed his forces from the mining district around Charleroi and was in position four miles to the south. Communications were not well established. Lanrezac was of the opinion that he had only Von Bulow to. deal with and as a consequence sent a message to Sir John French, commanding the British forces on the extreme left and asked him to strike to the northeast at Von Bulows flank. The British com mander knew of the forces of Von Kluck and declined to aid in' the attack against the forces of Von Bulow. The following day, which was Sunday, the forces of the French attacked from the right wing. The center of the line was in a bad way and the cavalry before the 18th corps was rapidly giving ground. In the afternoon when all along the French line the troops were being pushed back, came word that Namur had fallen. Then followed word that Ruffey and Langle had failed utterly in the Ardennes. While these defeats were taking place the army of Von Kluck had shown it self to the British and the army of Sir John French was in dire straits. Joffre ordered Lanrezac to send Sordefs cavalry to the British. That night Lanrezac ordered a general retirement which was to extend all along the line, and the first battle of the French forces was lost to the enemy. The fighting had taught the French several things. They were weak in entrenching tools and were not as well equipped in artillery They had the 75 which, as a small gun, was never equalled by any nation, but they lacked heavy ar tillery with which to combat the Austrian siege guns and howitzers In the hands of the Germans. These weapons had a range and carrying power far greater than the French artillery experts had ever dreamed of It was the battle of Charleroi that pressed home to the French the necessity for more and better equip ment with which to combat an army trained and equipped as no army ever had been before. Military leaders are almost unani mous in their praises for Lanrezac He led his forces in a gallant fight and had he been pitted against Von Bulow alone the results of the bat tle might have been different. The French intelligence department was as weak as could be and gave Lan rezac little information of value. Besides the general was forced into battle before his troops were in readiness. Joffre, In defense of him self, for he was responsible for the loss, afterward declared that the battle of Charleroi should have been won, but critics agree that it could not have been won on the plans that he had mapped out and had given Lanrezac to follow. The day following the defeat at Charleroi General Joffre issued his "General Instructions No. 2." He had been outwitted and outgen- eralled by the Germans, and it was time for him to make a record other than of weakness if France was to be saved. Shortly after the issuance of his instructions 33 army corps and divisional commanders of the French army were removed. This included two army commanders seven corps leaders and 24 divisional commanders. The order was sweep ing. It took from the service of the French the innocent as well as the guilty. Lanrezac, upon whose shoulders was placed the respon sibility for Charleroi, fell with the J T 7" I tizenvet mmmmm Dr. Eugene W. Rockey, whd has been chosen commander of Port land post of the American Le gion for 1923. guilty, and a competent and far sighted leader was lost for the re mainder of the war. The annual election of officers' of Over the Top post of the Veterans of Foreign Wars will be held to morrow night at 8 o'clock in the courthouse. Fred Angel, who has been one of the mainstays of the organizat'on since it was formed in thds bity, is the leading candidate for commander. m - Members of Portland Post of the American Legion were practically a unit that Dr. Eugene W. Rockey was the proper man for commander for 1923. They demonstrated this by the large vote they gave Dr. Rockey on the night of the election In the armory. Now the manner in which the new leader is taking hold of things is demonstrating that the predictions of the majority were not incorrect. Leaders of the legion practically 'drafted" Dr. Rockey for the post of commander. His first protest was that he did not have the time to devote to the legion. That pro test was laid aside when his father and brother, with whom he is as sociated, told him -to go ahead and take all the time that was necessary. Dr. Rockey has already taken oft his coat and is at work. He Is busy most of his spare time working for the success of "A Night in Paris," which will be staged in the audi torium the Saturday night before New Year's Eve. He does not take hia post as commander of the legion until the first Monday in January. It is safe to say that the coat that "Gene" Rockey has taken off to work for the annual show will remain off after he is in office and that behind him the members of Portland Post will go down the line throughout 1923 for the most suc cessful year of the organization's history. Portland citizens need not ponder long over where they are to spend their New Year's eve. Portland volture of Les Societie Des 40 Hom ines et 8 Chevaux, acting for the American Legion, has solved the problem of celebration. The munic ipal auditorium has been leased and will be the scene of "A Night in Paris' celebration. Pat H. Allen, general chairman of the show and vlce-commander-elect of Portland post of the Amer ican Legion, has committees of at least 200 men busy working to make the affair a success. He de clared that the show will be greater than the one held last year, when almost 4000 persons crowded the auditorium and enjoyed a highly successful programme. The funds derived from the show are to be used to pay the bonded indebtedness of Portland post, and to pay the expenses of the upkeep of the clubrooms of th legion. Business men of the city have do nated hundreds of dollars' worth of merchandise of all kinds, which will be given away as prizes in the scores of games that will be operat ing. The wings of the auditorium will be used for dancing; on the stage there will be a complete pro gramme of vaudeville and music, and in the basement will be found "the longest bar in the world." In this place wiy be found a dozen white-aproned bartenders who will remind the thirsty of olden days. They will man the near beer and ginger ale pumps and will do con siderable mixing. Asa Battles, one of the leading members of the American Legion in central Oregon and county clerk of Crook county, was here during the week. Wednesday he took lunch at the American Legion clubrooms and met a number of the leaders of the veterans' organization in Port land. ' Irving Kafka, assistant adjutant of Portland post of the American Legion, has resigned, and shortly after the first of the new year will leave for Hollywood, Cal., where he will make his home. Kafka has been on the job in the employ of the post for the past three years and has been an efficient man. He has worked day and night without regard to hours and has merited the thanks of the officers of the post. ' ' James J. Crossley, retiring com mander of Portland post -of the American Legion, is in a serious condition at Good Samaritan hos pital. Two weeks ago he was stricken with a bad attack of pleurisy. Water started forming in the pleural, cavity and it became necessary for the doctors to per form operations that would remove the water. Later the condition of Colonel Crossley became more ser ious and a section of one of his ribs was removed. His condition is now slightly improved, but it will be some time before he is able to be around again. F. T. Stretcher, vice-commander of Portland post, is at the helm while Crossley is incapacitated. Men followed the line of least resistance from the standpoint of diction when they were in France. They swore when the occasion seemed to demand and did not care who heard them. Cuss words that fell from their lips were usually the first words the French people learned, and they sometimes used them when they should not have done so. A young man who today is popular among the veterans of the state was standing with a group of comrades about a kitchen stove one cold day in France. All of a sudden some one slapped him on the back. It was just one of those friendly blows that often are im parted. Without waiting to see who it was, the soldier let out a string of oaths. He called the de liverer of that blow a few unprint able names and then turned about to face one of the leading" clergy men of this state, who was visiting : I it ii eran in France. The clergyman was aghast. He had never heard such language before. At least if he had heard it, It never had been de livered at him. He did not under stand then, and he does not under stand now. Each day he and the ex-soldier pass on the street. The veteran looks into the face of the preacher and is willing enough to speak, but the minister looks back with an expression as cold as stone. He wants no more to do with his ex-friend. . During the stormy days of war a certain major of the signal corps, whose home is in Wisconsin, was billeted in the home of a highly respectable French family. Several officers had their meals with him in the home of the natives. There, due to the fact that the family could not understand English, the officers spoke just as they pleased, and due to the fact that they usually expressed their profanity with a little more force than their other conversation, the French people learned these words first. A year after the war had ended the major, with a number of wealthy friends formed a party and returned to France. Once back in that country the ex-officer desired to visit the old haunts and event ually he conducted the party to the home of his French friends. "Madame does not speak English," he declared as he introduced the woman of the house. "Oh, yes," declared the woman, and she broke forth with a string of "cuss words" that made the major's friends stand aghast. The woman had listened when the offi cers had lived in her home. She had picked up the bad words out of conversation and in attempting to display her knowledge to the post-war visitors had made use of them. ft MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Dec. 16. C. A. Warren, sole surviving mem ber of the Grand Army of the Re public post at Brownsdale, Minn., wore the same coat that he wore at the battle of Gettysburg at a re cent American Legion banquet in Minneapolis. The coat lay packed in tobacco leaves in a trunk from 1869 to 1907. The buddies of '17-'18 gave the civil war veteran a rous ing ovation at the dinner. . INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Dec. 16. "The service men of the old country will praise the American Legion and bless your people, a people in the midst of whom was signed a sacred resolution by which those who united in brotherhood won In the war, have firmly resolved to win peace," Charles Bertrand, president of the Interallied Veterans' associa tion, stated in a recent message to Alvin Owsley, national commander of the American Legion.
