Oshkosh, Wis, Sept 2.-[Special. i
After the adjournment of the Democrat
ic convention late last night the delegates
hurried to their trains and departed from
the city as quickly as possible. Many Of
them were not able to get early trains

cussing the convention features. 1t was
reported that a meeting of the state CEN

morning and the members of the commit
tee waited over, but no meeting was
called Chairman Warden said that it
was suggested that the first meeting be
held at the time of the Jefferson club
opening meeting on September II, but
that he thought that that was too late,
and he would probably call a meeting in
Milwaukee at an carly date. This morn
ing the hotel lobbies were comparatively
quiet.
Villas Is Satisfied.
Committeeman Timothy Ryan, State
Chairman Warden and Mat Regain of
Madison were about the only Democrats
i'll evidence. Senator Villas, who was
the hero Of the convention, left ON the
first train for Madison. He said in dis
cussing the convention that it was a true
Democratic gathering and that the result
was very satisfactory to him. In regard
to primary election law he said the peo-
pie did not understand that and it was
the Democratic leaders intention to go
right out among them and discuss it and
| believe that the law now before the
people will be beaten.

To Test. the. Ewes,

Here is a little test for your eyes that
will soon show you which OF Them is the
stronger. Place an object about two
inches in diameter OF level with YOUR
eyes, and move back from it about ten
feet. Then point to it and take sight
along the top of your pointing finger un--
til the object and tine tip of Your finger
are exactly in i line with the eye from,
which you are sighting. Next open the
other eye, and see if the object seems to
have moved from the straight line. IF
it has not moved to ONE side apparently,
the eye with which you first looked is the
stronger, as the addition of the others
vision does not change the focus. If the
object seems to have moved it proves
that the other eye is the stronger, TIE
difference being measured by the dis
lance that the object appears to have
moved.
Try sighting with both eyes open first.
Then look with first one eye and then
the other, and see how far out of line
each makes the object appear. The one
that is furthest out Of line is the weaker
eye-Chicago Chronicle.
