0PT0METRY BOARD
Many Applications Are Being Re-
ceived for Certificates.
EXAMINATIONS IN SEPTEMBER
viii Raise the Standards of Practice,
So Secretary /. A. Thomaa
Thlnks-Many Ask to Take
Examinations.

Des Moines, Aug. 14.--Many appli-
cations for optometry certificates are
being received by DR.. l.. A. Thomas,
secretary of the state board of health.
The new law passed by the last gen.
eral assembly states that opticians
who have practiced for five years or
more may receive what is called a
renewal certificate" thus exempting
them from taking the examinations
given by the new optometry board in
September.
Already forty-five letters have been
received by DR.. Thomas asking for
the certificates and as fast as posi-
BILE the cases are being investigated
and the permits forwarded. F.,
The proposed issuing of these cer-
tificates caused considerable discuss
ion at the time of the passage Of the
law. According to decisions of the
supreme court the doctors fitting
glasses, etc., were regarded in the
same light as medical practitioners.
Thus a bill allowing a certificate on
condition of five years alleged viola
ton Of the law was claimed to be
against public policy and contradic-
tory to laws already enacted. But the
supporters of the reform pushed it
through, claiming that the change in
the requirements could not be made
all at once.
"The new board of optometry will
raise the standards, / believe" SAID
DR.. L. A. Thomas. "The first exam
nations come the latter part of Sep
TENDER and already many of the ap-
plicants are preparing themselves for
the exams at a special school started
at Still college"

II the Shackelford Brick company's
$4,000 continuous kiln is success,
100000 will be spent in two years
by brick and tile manufacturers in
and around Des Moines for the con-

industry will be revolutionized and a

lished in Des Moines. The Shackel-
ford company is spending almost $780,
900 for an experiment to determine
whether Iowa coal is gas producing.
If 1t is the cost of fuel to manufac-
turers will be reduced 60 per cent, or

of broad experience. and what he has
to say will be Instructive and interest
ing.
An effort will also be made to Sc
cure DIR. Herbert Holloway. former
