ROBINSON ASKS
 GOVERNMENT AID
Congressman From Sixth District Hopes to Get Money Needed to Protect Pine Bluii-To Introduce RilI

PF0tect llnc blnH-IO lntfOuuce
 Bill.
 Washington, Dec 7.--After several conferences with officials of the War Department, Congressman Joe T. Rob- inson of Arkansas is hopeful of secur- ing an emergency fund for the main tenance and repair of the dikes and revetment work designed to protect the bluff and bank at Pine Bluff.
 Mr. Robinson said today that he may succeed in getting $20,000 to be used immediately in protecting the bank against the enroachment of the river. The department has already arranged for the use of $19,000 there, and Mir Robinson thinks that if the engineer in charge indicates that an additional sum is needed to provide for the emergency which now exists and to protect the harbor, the War Department will furnish $20,000 more to this end.
 Will IntrOdue Bill.
 Mr. Robinson will introduce a bill appropriating $25O,o0O to repair and construct dikes and revetment work to protect the bank and to maintain the channel and harbor at Pine Bluff. While it is impossible to anticipate the recommendations to be made by the engineer in charge of the district in which Pine Bluff is situated. MT. Robinson says he believes that the department will communicate with the engineer and ask him for a report on the condition of the river at Pine Bluff, and if the engineer reports that the situation is urgent and the inter- est of navigation requires it, at least $20,000 more can be secured as all emergency fund to carry on the work until Congress may appropriate 9 reasonable sum for that purpose. Mfr. Robinson was accompanied to the War Department by his law partner. Judge T. C. Trimble, who is interest ed in the situation at Pine Bluff.

People speak about their eyes being
tired, meaning that the retina, or see
Ing portion, of the eye Is fatigued, but
such Is not the case, as the retlna hard
ly ever gets tired The fatigue Is In
the inner and outer muscle attached to
the cyeball and the muscle of accom-
mediation which surrounds the lens OF
the eye. When near object is to be
looked at this MUSCLE relaxes and al
lows the lens to thicken, increasing Its
refractive power. The inner and outer
muscles are used In covering the eye
on the object to be looked at, the inner
one being especially used when near
object is looked at. 1t is in the three
muscles mentioned that the fatigue Is
felt, and relief is secured temporarily
by closing the eyes or gazing at far
distant objects. The usual indication
of strain Is a rcdness of the rim of the
