EYES AND GLASSES

Wearing glasses is more serious
than people have any idea. The glas-
SEES you wear, if properly fitted by spe-
cial tests, will assist your eyes, keep
you from frowning, give you freer
menatl condition and protect your eyes
from diseases that are caused by GER
tain straining of the eyes to see clear
ly.
But if glasses are worn that are
not properly fitted you are to be
pitied; you do not realize what you
are doing to the most precious organ
in your body-you are playing with
the worst kind of fire.
Did you know that your eyes-the
part of them that transmits thd sight
are an extension of your brains. Stu.
pid people have been made bright just
by correcting eye defects.
Glasses properly fitted can effect
the health of the body, derange the
nervse. We have relieved people OF
nervous arrangements simply by
changing their old glasses for ones
that fit properly. If you value YOU

! TEACHER HURT IN
AN AUTO ACCIDENT

lLyTON, April 26.-What' was per.
haps one OF the largest delegations OF
Linton people that ever journeyed to
another part Of the county to attend
q dance was that which made the
trip to Emmonsburg to attend a
dance given at the Bart Lee home IN
honor of Mrs. Fred Kyes, who recent
" returned from her home in Canada
for a visit. Nine automobile loads
and two teams were from here, taxing
As people to enjoy the evenings
festivities.
Although the road to Emmonsburg
is rather rough in places for automo-
bile travel, the trip down in the
evening was made without mishap or
any kind The only event to mar the
pleasure of the trip occurred on the
way home, when Will Jones' automo-
bile, containing five people, turned
turtle" while coming down sharp
incline about half way home. Mr.
Jones was driving and had just
straightened back in the seat after fac
ing a cold wind at pretty lively gait.
In so doing, he pulled up slightly on
the steering wheel and it came loose,
leaving the driver without means or
guiding the car. Mr.. Jones is OF the
opinion that the car was going ac
the rate Of about II miles an hour
when the mishap occurred The ma
chine Jumped from the road and
through q plowed field, going com
nletely over after travelling about so
feet. ~'-'-
Miss Stoecker, one Of the Linton
school teachers, was the only occu-
pant of the car to receive any seri'
GUS injury, other than considerable
shaking up. She sustained couple
of fractured ribs, according to DR..
Montieth Of Hazelton, who was called
Immediately after the victims Of the
accident were brought to Linton.
Neither DR.. Hogue nor DR.. Fuller was
in Linton at the time. Miss Stoecker
also received some injury to her left
hip. though probably Of not serious
nature.
Other occupants of the car were
Miss Baker, also Linton school
teacher, and Messrs. Don Tracy and
Ed Halsey.
When the accident happened MI.
Jones set the brake and then grasped
the steering rod, throwing himself
clear Of the car and thus avoiding be.
ing pinned down by the rod when the
car overturned. Mr.. Halsey was
thrown several feet through the air,
but sustained only slightly bruised
wrist. Mr.. Tracy and Miss Baker
were both caught under the car, but
were not badly hurt.

was in that the only thing WHICH
saved the members OF the party from
serious injury or possibly death was
the plowed field into which the car
plunged The p1owing acted as a
brake on the car, and also the soft
soil protected the occupants when
they were thrown to the earth. Fur.
Their than the accident to the Jones
car, there was not even so much as
a tire puncture during the round trip.
The evening-or rather the night -
was spent in dancing, fine lunch be-

home was made about daylight.
