The Optometrist
Is The Eye-Strain
Specialist

aStigmatism aid muscular trou-
pies as though they were some
'nrm OF eye disease. but they
are no more a disease than IS a
small ear or a large nose. Ii
follows that the layman often
does not know that these cond,-
tionS are caused by a faulty
shape or false position of the
eyeOall, which condition renders
VISION unsatisfactory or painful.
Much Of the suffering due to
eye-straln could be relieved if
the one SO afflicted would con.
suit the Optometrist, who IS
now being recognized by the
world as the exclusive Eve
Strain Specialist.
That the reader may more
iuIly understand the exact STA
Is ot the Optomctf So and that
nc may know that he IS the log
lCal one 10 consult when in
doubt about vision and glasses
the following statement is made.
The optomctris: IS now recog-
nized by law ia 80 States as the
one trained in the art Of deter
mining the visual status Of the
humap eye ard the neu,ralizing
OF ITS abnormal conditions with
lenses. while the physician is
the medical specialist in eve
diseases. Therefore, the Opto.
metrist is the ackowledged Eye
Strain Specialist and the maker
OF glasses, being especially fit
ted for filling prescriptions for
glasses because Of his enforced
technical training in optics as
specifically applied to the cor
rection of visual defects.
Note-The public is cautioned
against patronizing door-to-door
eye-glass peddlers as well az
the so-called cut-rate "bargain"
advertisers. 1t is unwisc TO
take chances with anv but an
established optometrist.

The advent Of warm weather last

of attendance, Notwithstanding the
competition which was offered by the

Peg o. My Heart" rollicking hut
strangely pathetic Irish comedy de-
lighted two capacity audiences at the

appealing is this play, just the sort
that might be expected from its title.
II has charm of who!esomcness
simplicity and truth, delight to those
who relish life's good things.
Peg O MY Heart" as portrayed by
Miss Florence Martin and cast OF
seven, was truly great play and in
It's scenic embellishments and acting, It
could not have fallen short of the stan
dard Of the original production. Miss
Martin endeared herself 10 her audi
ence from the moment she appeared on
the veranda of the Chichester mansion,
with her bundles, in one arm and her
dog Mike In the other. AS lovable
Witty Irish girl who is brought TO the
chill atmosphere of home in English
aristocracy. Miss Martin dominates
every scene. Quaint mannerisms and
fine Irish dialect unite with a COM
blnation of grace and awkwardness Pc
culiarly suited to the role that makes
her an adorable Peg"

bits in the presentation Is the charac-
ter OF the English daughter whom

INDOOR ATHLETIC MEET.
Young Men Of Calumet High School
Expected to Compete.

Excellent Roadway is being made
with the preparations for the indoor
athletic meet to be conducted at the Y.
NJ. c. A.. all next week, for the stu
dents of the Calumet high school. The
meet will decide the years honors be-
tween the senior junior sophomore
and freshman classes and will be
worked out upon a new plan which is
regarded as cminently fair TO all. This
plan, by providing special classes
graduated according TO weights, makes
it possible for small student To win
as many points for his class as u large
student, for he will be given differ
ent standard to attain.
The school faculty. which has en-
Enthusiastically endorsed the meet. hopes
to secure the entry of every boy in the
high school. Failure to participate in
the contests which are free and open
10 all students. will really handicap
the class of which the negligent one is
n member, for in deciding the VIM
ner. 1t has been decided that the total
number Of points will be divided by
the number of eligible students in each
class. Thus the participants Will
detract from the showing made by the
students who do enter. 1t Is claimed
this is the only fair basis however, for
some Of the classes are larger than
Others and can enter more men, who
naturally have good chance of rolling
up additional points. .ps
The meet win start one week from
this evening, when the students Of all
classes who weigh between sixty and
eighty pounds will compete. Tuesday
evening Will he given over Ia the
students Weighing from 80 To %
pounds. Wednesday evening To the SO
To 10 pounds class, Thursday evening
To the 10 10 l95 pound class. Friday
evening 10 the unlimited class and
Saturday for the running of of special
events.
Through the interest," aroused In this
competition. the Calumet high school
hopes to revive interest IN track and
field events and eventually to develop
track and field team which can com
pete successfully against the teams or
other schools in the county.

AUDUBON HEAD
MAKES APPEAL
Special Effort to Revive Interest
In Work of This Society

w r. Mershon. president of the
Michigan Audubon society. is circulat-
ing an appeal TO thsse interested in
bird life throughout the state To give
some substantial support 10 the work
of the society. Some Of his literature
has been directed to W. r. Oates, state
game warden of I.auriuE, who is Civ
ing Mr.. Mershon staunch support in his
undertaking.
Mr.. Mershon has taken UP the work
Of the society where jefferson Butler
who was killed in an auto accident al
Detroit last fall, left off. il now de-
velops that Mr.. Butler was practically
the life of the society, and since his
death there has been "A marked loss Of
interest. Mr.. Mershon is making an
energetic attempt to arouse new inter
est. He is dispensing bird knowledge,
bird literature, giving lectures ON birds
and doing everything possible to revlt-
alize the once active society.
In several of the lower state cltles
local branches have been organized
and in each community these sub -or-
ganizations are hard at work further
ing the interests of the state society
II Is likely that i'm the near future
steps will be taken TO form local
branch in the copper country. The
opinion exists among bird lovers here
that such an organization could be
made "A success.
Mr.. Mershon is also president of the
Michigan Sportsmens association. and
il strongly In favor of the cooperative
work by this organization and the
Michigan neutrality-suspicious. in the
promotion of the out -of door activities.
These associations are composed of
men who believe in the protection Of
birds.
Since the society was deprived IL
the services OF Mr.. Butter the treasury
has been depleted, and Of course, It
viii have TO be refllled before much
progress can be made. In his appeal
Mr.. Mershon asks all who are interest :
ed 10 send a 81 membership fee To Mrs.
Anna Walter of Marcellus, Mich, sec
letary and treasurer
Mr.. Oates is heartily in sympathy
with the work, and urges the people of
the upper peninsula To- give IL all the
help within this power.

hotter or for worse must shortly de-

anred harsh policy of government re-

of mast inisdeeds which stimulated UNI
reasoning popular clamor and preju-
dice.
American railroads have had On

since traffic began shrinking net earn

several Of the strongest and best es-
tablshed systems in the county report
ed startling losses in net during the
last few months. In spite of such facts,
the railroads have not been allowed TO
rocoup their losses by any advance in
rates. The inevitable result is To
bring many Of the roads within sight of

Must Secure Capital.
our railroads need large amounts
of new capital To give the public much
needed facilities. But capital will not
enter the railroad field unless terms
are satisfactory and the conditions
sufficiently assuring. At present the
roads are forced into unfavOrable
terms when applying for new capital,
even upon limited scale.
In other respects the political sit
uation, which unfortunately is such a
factor in financial circles, is improv
ing. The repeal of the Panama Canal
tolls bill at Washington will have a
good effect. Ii unquestionably satisfies
the country's desire To maintain its
reputation for national honor. II will
also serve 10 promote more harmonious
relations with foreign powers. and viii

friendship that might prove of consid

The contest over the Panama issue
has also made more clear the lines of
political cleavage. II is certain that
radicallsm in political circles is on the
wanc. The injury 10 business from
much Of the legislation recently con-
templated is already foreseen and will
probably be prevented. Protests against
