Nowhere Is the comparison between
an ounce of prevention and IL pound of
cure more applicable than in the care
Of the eyes; for the neglect of seeming

In their beginnings. may lead In an ill.,
credibly short time to permanent i'm
pairment OF vision. Or even to total
blindness. The care Of the eyes should
begin with the moment of birth. The
new baby's eyes should be the first
part to receive attention. They should

sOrbent cotton wet with warm solu.
ton of bOric acid. of Il strength Of
about sixty grains in four ounces Of
distilled water. After the lids have
been thus carefully washed on the out
side they should be gently separated
and some OF the solution dropped into
the eyes.
| In washing the eyes one should he

ton Il piece of cotton which has once
each time the eyes are wiped.
The baby's eyes must be protected
from the light; it's crib should be placed
where the eyes are not exposed to the
full light from a window. ana the car
riage should have Il shade raised only
about a foot above the baby's head.
| Children often suffer from intiamma-
ton of the edges of the lids. which are
red and scaly. and the lashes fall out
and break off. This may betoken u
general scrOfulOus condition. or 1t may
depend upon some defect in the sight
which causes eye-strain. or it may be
only local trouble. If it is only Il local

Conjunctivitis or inflammation of the
membrane covering the globe Of the
eye, may be due to a cold, to the action
of bright sunlight or reflection from

The Commissioners granted hearing
today to these interested in the passage
Of the Corliss bLI: To protect employees
Of street railways" The bill in question
has two important provisions. which
We're considered today-placing vestibaIes
upon the cars To protect the motormen
and the shortening Of the days work to
nine hours
The first speaker was G. E. Moray. an
emplOye Of the syndicate lines" ana
secretary of the street raiIwaymen's or
ganization- He presented the case of the
street railway employees very strongly.
answering many questions asked by The
Commissioners. and placing before the
Board long array of facts relative to
the labor conditions on the street railway
lines OF the District. He stated in prac-
tically ali the cities OF the Northern
States yestibuled cars are required bv
law, and the motorman is protected from
the inclement weather from November to
April He informed the Commissioners
that the Maryland line in Washington
has vestibuIcd cars, and has operated
With them for more than TWO years. On
the 4 Street line he stated. the new cars
Of the company are half-YestibuIed. and
he said that this in Itself IS a confession
or the part OF the companies that the
vestibule is not only possible, but practi-
cable Mr. Moray spoke of the difficulty
experienced by the motOTman in seeing in
the face Of heavy rain or snow. and h
told the Commissioners that avoidance of
accidents under those conditions was a
matter Of luck rather than because the
motoFman was in condition to do his
dutv-
With reference 10 the shortening OF the
days work to nine instead of ten hours.
Mr. Moray presented a statement of the
runs over the various lines Of the syn
dicate" reads showing that while the men
make from nine TO ten hours day it IS
necessary Tor them 10 remain on duty
from thirteen TO twenty hours He spoke
especially Of he men who had late and
early runs coming together. when 1t was
possible for them 10 sleep only about
three hours at night As a result he said
the men we're worn out and unable to per
form their duties properly.
The bill was further discussed by John
DImerZo, who spoke briefly in IA voT of the
Vesubule- He made strong point by
saying that if the officers OF the company
had any doubt about the advantage Of the
vestibule to the motorman that General
Harrles or some of the others in high
authority should go out on the cars with
the motCrman IN heavy rainstorm or IN
the teeth OF a bowling northwester and
learn for himself
