Blagdon's picnic in Red Oak
Hollow.
Blagdon had preceded his

it was so still that candles

Miss Blythe blinked at the

wore no hat. She had a red
rose at her throat. She was
grave for her-and silent.
The truth was that she had
during the last ten minutes
made up her mind to ask Blag-
don 20 drive her home when
the picnic should be over. She
had asked Masters TO drive
out with her: and how much
that had delighted him nobody

Masters himself. She had dur

gested simpler and economical aItsr-
native--a train ferry. England DOES
not sufficiently appreciate the possi-
biiities of this alternative. Sweden
and the United States, as one writer
says, can give British engineers points
as to the safety, steadiness and eeon-
omy OF the train ferry. Why not
study this solution? The Crossing
would not wholly lose its terrors, per-
haps, but these would be substantially
diminished and lessened.. Apart from
rough weather the inconveniencss Of
the present system would disappear.
Passengers would stay on the train
until they reached Paris or London,
The cost would be reduced and the
schedules improved. The tunnel may
come in the future, but for the prss-
ent the public and commerce might
well turn to the train ferry plan.

SOLDIERS
NOW WANT THEIR MEDALS

ROME, Aug. 29.--Six soldiers who
refused the gold medal offered them
by the government for unusual mill
tary valor in the Turkish Italian war
and who later repented of their ac-
ton, today were allowed to formally
retract their refusal and put in appli-
cation for the prizes. At the time Of
the presentation when several other
soldiers were given medals for valor,
they remained away, declaring that,
as socialists, who did not believe in
war they could not accept the medals.
In their petitions presented today they
declared they were forced to take that
action by their socialist friends and
that If the government will give them
the medals they will accept them and
prize them highly.

JEROME FAILS IN EFFORT

SHERBROOKE, Que, Aug. 2s.-
Attorney Jerome today admitted he
failed in his attempt to induce the
provincial premier to reverse Judge
Globensky's ruling in Thaw's favor.
Thaw is momentarily expected to
ask for his release on bail. New

opinion is that he has much the best
of the situation.

er" Thompson, was arraigned today.
Thaw expected the accusation TO be
the bringing Of lunatic into Canada
and intended his defense to b that
he was not lunatic and force . jury

his sanity Immediately.
The prosecution checkmated by
dropping the lunatic accusation, and
charged that merely Thompson him
self had entered clandestinely.

for postmonement, which was grant

SCHOOL CHILDREN DEFECTIVE.

BUFFALO, Aug. 29.--Declaring
that 25 per cent of all children at
tending school have defective vision
or eyestrain, DR.. Louis C. Vessels,
opthalmologist for the Philadelphia
board of health strongly urged more
thorough inspection by physicians of
school children. DR.. Vessels was
speaking on the subject, Defective
Vision in School Children from an
Economical Standpoint" before the
fourth international congress- on hy-
giene today.
Medical inspection of school chill
dren,' he declared, "has revealed the
fact that at least 25 per cent of all
children attending school have de-
fective vision. In the majority of
cases suitable glasses would cause
these otherwise backward children to
advance and take their places in class
es with normal children. Such cor
rcctions not only increase the learning
ability of the pupil and mean less
work for the teacher, but they have
an economic value as well, because
II a child is packard and remains in
the same class for two or three years,
it is costing the state two or three
times as much as is necessary to teach
that child.
Few children remain in school aft
er the age of IA, the legal age in most
states at which they are permitted to
work. This fact emphasizes the ne
ccssity of examining the eyes of chicl
dren in the kindergarten and first
grades. The fact wish most to en-
phasize is the importance of munich
palities establishing their own eye
dispensaries for the refracting and
furnishing of glasses free to the poor
er chcildren at least. This is an econ
oInic problem rather than a charity,
as II would reduce the cost Of edu-
eating the child and at the same time
increase the efficiency of both the pu
pill and the teacher"
Other subjects discussed at today's
sessions were School Feeding" "Tu-
berculosis Among School Children"
"The Conservation of Vision Among
School Children" and the "School
Feeding Movement" Speaking on the
last mentioned subject, Louise Ste
vens Bryant Of the University of
Pennsylvania said: "The greatest
need Of the school movement along
this line today is not propaganda
it is going forward with it's own mo-
meItum. What is needed is the de-
veiopment of better methods in medi-
cal exsmiaation of pupils and sys-
tenn Of school feeding and finally
the constant extension Of scientific
experimentation in this field which
affords an unrivalled opportunity for
the development of the science Of nu-
triton"
