Representative Martin Dies, of Texas
boosted foe of the government clerks,
who, he has asserted, lead extravagani
lives, was deeply impressed yesterday
when he listened to the recital of a

to make his salary provide for his
family Mr.. Dies may even be won
over to the clerks side of the salary
and pension argument. Too many busy

MRS. HALEY PRESIDES
 AT NATIONAL MEETING

At the biennial meeting in Chicago of all the state presidents of women's clubs, Mrs. l.. J. Haley was chosen Thursday to preside. This was a signal honor-one that came as a decided tribute to Mrs. Haley's ability as parliamentarian and speaker from a body of women outside of her own state who appreciate her. She has been long recognized as one or the ablest clubwomen in the south; 1t is thus matter of pride to the Alabama Federation of Women's clubs that she received this distinct compliment.
 In another respect has Alabama's club women received flattering notice for work well done. Sometime ago Alabama with the other states entered into competition for prizes offered by the federation mag azine Eighty dollars in gold was offered for the state securing the greatest num- Der and handsome trophy cup, designed by the artist of the federation, to &C.,

NEGLECT IN CARE
 0F EYES FREQUENT
Health Commissioner Dixon Warns of Dangers to
 Sight From Infection

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger
 Sight Is generally considered the most precious of the five senses. yet few peo- pie make an effort to take any special care of the eyes" says Health Commis- sioner Dixon in his weekly talk on health and hygiene.
 ''ln order to keep the eyes healthy and clear 1t is necessary to keep them free | from possible infection and to avoid straining them by overworlS
 ''1t is an almost universal habit to wipe the eyes with a pocket handkerchief As rule this is not absolutely clean. As i a result of it's numerous uses 1t contains germs which if introduced into the eyes ar likely to result in a more or less seri- ous infection, When suffering from a cold one should be particularly careful. Rubbing the eyes with the unwa shed hands or the use of a towel which others have used may also result in disease of the eyes. When the eyes feel hot and dry the outside of the lids should be bathed with cold water Avoid the use of eye washes unless prescribed and administered under the direction of a physician.
 "To avoid straining the eyes when read ing people of normal vision should hold the book 15 Ior IS inches from the face and on direct line with the eyes. Never hold a book low. The strain on the eyes is much greater when the book is held in the lap. Those who make a practice of reading when lying down should be careful to hold their book at the proper angle.
 Always read by a good light avoid a glare or any reflection from the printed page. If the light is poor you will hold the book too close to the eyes. Books printed in fine type should be avoided, as they cause an unnecessary strain on the vision
 Defects of sight are often responsible for headaches and extreme nervousness. Those who wear glasses should have an ocea asona1 examination by an occulist to occasional examination by an oculist to yision.''
