VETOES OPTOMETRY BILL
Governor Brumbaugh Sees No Reason
Why State Bureau of Medical Ii
censure Should Not Suffice

Governor Brumbaugh on Saturday
evening vetoed the Daix optometry
bill, which would have established a
separate bureau to license optometrists,
holding that he sees no reason why the
practitioners should not place them
selves under the State Bureau of Med
1cal Licensure. In his message the
Governor says:
This bill is designed to regulate the
practice of optometry in Pennsylvania.
1t aims to do this by creating new ex-
aiming board to license optometrists.
This board is created in way that is
contrary to all precedent. To limit the
executive in his appointments to pro-
fessionai body to whom is entrusted the
conservation of human vision by COM
pelling and directing him to appoint
only those selected by the executive
committee of society that has no
obligation or responsibility to the peo-
pie, and society whose members are
in no legal way related to the people
at large, is contrary to the policy OF
law.
''There is no convincing reason why
these practitioners should not voluntar-
lily place themselves under the existing
licensing body of the Commonwealth. .
'Under section 4, one member Of
this proposed board can secure the
granting of license, situation
wrought with grave menace. Unless a
commanding reason is manifest, no adj
ditional examining boards for profess
sional regulation should be created.
"The standards of professional serv-
ice in this Commonwealth are and have
been high. We are center of pro-
fessional services of the most commend-
able standards. These standards must
be safeguarded and exalted. No Off
cial act of the Commonwealth should in
any way lessen the standards Of admis-
sion to a professional career in this
Commonwealth nor the standards of
professional training to fit for technical
service. The human eye is priceless
The care and treatment is sacred
service. The sanction of the State,
which is the sanction of the people,
cannot be lightly bestowed.

tabernacle DYNAM|TED
Foes of Local Option Credited With
Attempt to Wreck Biederwolf
Meeting Place

Hagerstown, May 3.-What the po-
lice regard as deliberate attempt to
blow up the Biederwolf tabernacle, an
immense rough timber building seating
1000 people being used by the evan
gelist in his six weeks campaign here,
was made about 2 o clock yesterday
morning, when quantity of dynamite
was exploded at one corner of the

TO MELT Steel With Coal
Gas TAR AT OPENhEARTH
After Experimenting Two Years the
Pennsylvania Steel Company Finds
Coal Product As Good AS Oil For
Producing Great Heat

After two years experimenting with
coal gas tar as heat producing me-
dunn, the Pennsylvania Steel Company
announced this morning that it had
equipped No. 20 furnace of the open
hearth battery to consume this kind
of tar in place of the oil with which
all the rest of the furnaces are heated.
Heating open hearth furnaces with
coal gas tar is very much in vogue in
the Pittsburgh district as well as in
other large steel centers; but this is
the first time this product is to he used
at the local plant. The cost of coal gas
tar is slightly less at the present time
than oil and large supply of the new
fuel can be secured at the Semet,So
way coke plant, East End.

NEWSPAPER ETHICS.

Every once in a while someone will
bring in printing with request that it
de kept secret. Perhaps little in
formation concerning the rules Of
newspaper offices and printing plants
will not be out of place. One Of the
first things an apprentice is taught is
absolute secrecy concerning anything
that is done in the office. He must
not give out information as to what
kind of printing is being done nor give
any notice of what is to appear in the
paper. Another rule is that the copy
hook is sacred-that is, outsiders must
not read its contents neither should
they read the copy on the case before
the campositor This last is considered
by the average printer as i'll bred as
the reading Of private correspondence.
All proof sheets and in fact the paper
itself is considered private office pro-
perty until it is delivered to the public

Care of the Eyes.

Greatest care should be taken of the
eyes. Pain or discomfort of any kind
in them should be paid attention to at
once. Every child,s eyes should be ex-
amined by a competent oculist. Be
sure and 90 to a qualified physician
who specializes in eyes, for many an
eye has been ruined by going to an
optician who examines your eyes free
SO that he can sell you your glasses.
Remember that child with poor eyes
is handicapped in every way both in
childhood and after-life. Bad eyes
make children irritable and also retard
their progress in studies. Never try to
read, sew or do any fine work in poor
light. Reading in the twilight is cer-
tain to injure the eyes.
Never buy eyewashes, nor any medi-
cine for the eyes which is not recon
mended by qualified physician.
