We are, at the present time, the
only Optical Experts in America who
can examine an eye.
We mean exactly what we say.
If you have ever had your eyes
tested for glasses, you know the meth
DDS used by people who claim to eX-
anime the eyes and fit glasses, and
they all use the same methods, no mat
ter where you go, to the high priced
Specialist or to the and 10 cent
stores. They use the same old test
types hung on the wall, and try on a
lot of glasses, asking you ''Can you
read this letter''' and "Does this line
look blacker?" until you are so con
fused that you cannot tell which
glasses are correct.
After your Optician does lot of
guessing and has your eyes all out of
shape, you think you have been ex-
amined.
Think this over and you can read
ily see that you have been doing your
own examining, and that is no doubt
the reason you have had trouble to get
glasses correct.
The banners Scientific Method is
entirely different and is the only cor
rect way to fit glasses.
NO DROPS USED. Those who have
been examined for glasses by men
who claim to examine eyes by the old,
incorrect way, which is done by every
one who supplies glasses but us, will
be agreeably surprised by our scien-
tifc and wonderful methods of fitting
glasses.
We correct your eye defects by look
ing in the eyes, taking the exact sci
entific measurements of the focus and
shape of the eyes.

Mass Meeting Votes To Continue
With The Work.

London. March S.-The bill to extend
TIE right OF suffrage to women was de-
fpated in the House of Commons to-
day, where it was talked to death with
out coming TO vote. The supporters of
the bill made determined attempt to
secure a vote. but the Speaker declined
To accept n motion of closure and the
sitting of the House wes closed auto
matically at 5 o'clock this afternoon
The bill is thus killed for the present
session.
The result was not surprising. even to
the suffragists themselves. as some of
the strongest syInpathizers of the No-
mems cause realized that the question
was not ripe for legislation ard that
Parliament was not in Il position to
deal with the question until it becomes
a definite issue at a general election.
TIE suffrasists, however. were not
daunted. and tonight they held an en-
thusiastic meeting at Exeter hall. Res

The BowIey Green Mission.

There was a large attendance at each
of the meetings held by the Rev. Bow
ley Green Friday.
The meeting in the afternoon was
opened with song service conducted
by the Rev. Frank NJ. Lamb. the Cos
pei singer. ''1n the Songland Of My
Soul" was the title of very beauti-
full number rendered by Mr. Lamb.
Rev. Bowley Green read the Scrip
ture lesson from the ED chapter of st.
Luke's Gospel. beginning with the 18th
verse. The subject for the afternoon
was 4 continuation Of the series which
are being taken from the Lords prayer
THY will be done on earth as it is in
heaven"
Mr.. Green said that the person who
has come to the place where he can
say. Let Gods Will Be Done" has
reached no mean place in his expert
ence. "Our will is not contrary to
Gods will, only when it is wrong. Gods
will is always right: therefore, Gods
will is best. We must come to that
place In our Christian life where we are
willing to say, Il will take the cup
that my Father giveth me-" We cam
not pray the prayer. Thy will be done
on EARTH" until this is true.
The meeting closed with prayer by
the Rev. Paul N. Cayer and the sing
ing of a hymn.

Work Out His Observations.

sage Is Exploded.

Paris, March S-Amundsen, the dar-
ing Norwegian explorer, who made the
northwest passage in his Alton Gjoa,
spending 10 months of his three year ;
voyage making observations in the vi
cinity Of the magnetic pole, has been
lonized in Paris. President Fallieres
decorated the explorer a commander OF
the Legion of Honor. Amundsen has
delivered lectures before the various
scientific societies and gave a private
talk upon his experiences for the bene-
fit of Frances 40 "immo-tals" at the
residence of Prince Roland Bonaparte,
who has recently been elected to the
institute.
Amundsen expects it will take three
years to work out the scientific results
of the observations he made night and
day for 10 months near the magnetic
pole. While he knows that his obser-
vations prove that the magnetic pole
is not stationary. until his figures and
notes are carefully studied, it will be
impossible to say whether its oscilla-
tons are regular.
Amundsen says il is the same with
his meteorological. oceanoSraphic and
geogra phical observations. They will
have TO be studied by scientific men to
determine their value. All he was able
to say in Il general way was that the
ocean bottom traverscd by him was
sandy and that the old dream SO long
entertained by explorers OF q short
northwest passage practicable for
trade purposes was exploded.
The route north of the American
continent, which he discovered. he says,
is only practicable for scientific ex-
plorations. He earnestly hopes, how
ever that his example will be followed
or that at least 4 station will be es-
tablished in the vicinity of the mag
netic pole and maintained there long
enough to permit of a complete and
exhaustive set of observations. Amund-
sen will visit the United States this
fall
