" .ught th . Dumb o Speak
Dr. Alexander Graham 'Bell's fame,
stF:afige to say, does not rest altogether on his '
anventien of the telephone. At a recent meeting
.of Telephone Pioneers that wonderful blind
woman, Helen Keller, stone deaf and at one
dime dumb also, spoke of her memories of
Alexander Graham Bell.
"You hose and hear may not realize
'that the teaching of sheeeh to the deaf—even �""1°"""a`
imperfeetspeech like mine—is oee of the divinest miracles of the nineteenth century. No one did moreto produce
this miracle than Dr. Bell. It ie typical of Dr. Bell's interest in the deaf that when he•was awarded the Volta
prize for the achievement of inventing the telephone he devoted the proceeds a subsiantiai amount. of cash,
a ntirely to a fund to promote teaching the deaf to ynderstand'the world about them.
'The, world knows of his study of aeronautics and his belief in the practicability of air travel. On the occasion
of the opening of the transcontinental telephone line he staid to me, `Some day aviation will bridge the gap from
the Pacific to the Atlantic and make it possible for Mr. Watson (who was speaking from the Pacific) to "come
-ere" hyeatetuallytravelling the distance from ,San Francisco to New York in a non-stop flight!
'I ba- a never known another man with Dy. Bell's many -sidedness and charm or anyone with such wide
etlivaia"ni concerning the interests of other people." Helen Keller (seated) and her teacher are shown above;

REGARDING STOP SIGNS
We have been asked to .pass a
gentle hint to the motoring public
in reference to tho stop signs in
Forest. The signs mean just exactly
what they indicate—stop--noti to
slew down, It is plain enough and
people with enough brains tai drive a
car should be able to understand
good English. Stop means to stop
your ear, not stop talking or smok-
ing tlnlgss better obeyed, it is go-
ing td cost a few drivers a trip into
the police court. The .speed limit
regulations are Atlso disregarded by
malty drivers, and the town police
have been instructed to prosecute all
who exceed the rate of 20 miles per
hour 'on the paved streets -Forest

Chrysler performance leadership
Drive a Chrysler --"75" or "65"—
and you cannot help but understand
why Chrysler successfully main-
tains its performance leadership.
To tryout a Chrysler in traffic is to
gain a thrilling new conception of
how eager, fleet and smooth fine -
car acceleration can be—what infi-
nite safety has been attained in
Chrysler's weatherproof internal -
expanding 4 -wheel hydraulic brakes.
To open the throttle wide on the
broad highway is to feel theexhilara-
tion of steady, effortless high-speed.
To negotiate a steep grade or a
winding hill is to relish the satis-
faction of boundless energy and
power, ever at your command.
