A iew days later. I had a chance to lay the question before an engin- eer. "Why do engines stall?" I ask- ed him.

"Because they don't. get enough gas," he replied. _

“Where does tlmidity figure in that?" I led him on.

“Nowhere. probably. , At 15351; no more than carelessness. fatigue, in- attention, and a dozen other things. It is easier to stall an engine today than Rs ever been, and ii there ever was a time when drivers. men and women, were less timid. I don't. recall it. It. is more a matter of the av. ersge driver's inability to recognize m9 (ihlllﬂi! in the mechanism of the car than anything else, as I see it.

The interrelation be». tween these various features is such that a. delicate handling oi them is demanded oi’ the driver. If he does not understand this, ii he is careless or inattentive. he will fall to feed gas in the proper quantity, or he~wiil let out the clutch with a. bang or do something equally wrong.

BLIND GIRL AN ' EXPERT REPORTER

LONDON, January 29.—A rare feat was performed at the National Con- ference oi Blind workshop repres- entatives in London, the verbatim re- port of the proceedings being taken by Miss MabelGreen, a young woman who has been blind from birth.

She uses an instrument known as

Miss Green appeared to experience no difficulty in taking her "notes." For five hours she tapped away with- out faltering, and the only time the speakers were stopped was when she had to insert a new roll of paper in the machine. _

“With two years’ practice any aver-

age blind person can type 100 words.

a minute on this machine." Miss Green told an interviewer.

“The keys bear Braille type in-

Miss Green was employed as l. shorthand typist at the Ministry of Health ior 18 months. She gave up her post to another blind girl.

A gold medallist ior Braille readiiil. she reads everything available in that type and is well acquainted with works so diverse as those oi brown- ing. Shaw and Edgar Wallace. Miss Green is also a capable pianist and telephonist.
