said the naturalized New Yorker who
served in the British army when he was
very young man and who is now an
optlclan: L do not judge by the number
OF people VINO wear glasses here, as in
american cities glasses are worn if there
Is me Snghtest trace of ne2rsightedneSS,
While lew persons wear glasses for this
cause IN the old country unless they are
so nearslghted that the wearing of glasses
is a positive necessity. But, taking It on
the whole, there are more people here
whose eyeSight begins to fail at COM
par9uVeiy early age than in England, Ire

also decided that the council should
request the clubs that have adjourned
to reconvene for a further considera-
ton of the subject.

of 500 to be used towards defraying
her expenses. and said if this was done
