THE COST OF EYEGLASSES.

Many families felt as if they were
being hit in a new place a few days
ago, when it was announced that
owing to the war the cost of lenses
for eyeglasses had increased from %
TO 80 per cent. But this may not af-
feet the price Of the completed glasses
much, as the cost is largely in labor.
1t is TO be hoped that this is the case,
as the providing of suitable eyeglasses
and spectacles is a very considerable
burden on many families.
Wearing spectacles was formerly a
sign of advanced age. If old people
felt their eyes falling. they were apt
to buy of peddlers. They would try
on various pairs of spectacles, until
they found one that seemed to make
their eyes feel better, and buy them
on the spot for dime or a quarter.
Today it is generally recognized
that weak eyes need careful examina-
tiOn and measurement by skilled ocu-
lists or opticians. and high prices are
often paid by people whose eyes are
at all complicated.
Probably d third of the children are
now either wearing spectacles or
ought TO have them. 1t is quite a re-
spOnsibility for youngster to start
out with a pair of spectacles that cost
his father several dollars. If the little
fellow keeps them on while playing
rough games. he is almost sure to get
the glasses broken. In that case a
fragment of glass may lodge in an eye
and destroy sight.
But if the little fellow takes them
off and puts them in the case in his
pocket. the first time he rolls over in
a rough and tumble the optical outfit
is converted into pancake. 1t is a bill
OF expense that our grandfathers
never knew, but often inevitable if
one is TO give ones children the best
modern care. Poor eyes are such a
serious handicap that parents who can
afford il grunt and settle the bills
without question.

ELIMINATE PORK"
FROM APPROPRIATIONS
President Sends Out Word
That No Grabs VIII
Be Allowed

Washington, Nov. 23-"Porkn must
be eliminated from the coming winter
legislation. The administration so de-
creed today
1t was intimated that the president
will veto the omnibus public buildings
bill and possibly the big rivers and
harbors bill. At any rate, the word
will 60 forth to leaders that "pork !"
must be sliced relentlessly from these
measures and that appropriations for
various districts must not be included
merely for the purpose of establishing
the prestige of their congressman.
Inview of this warfare, some auth
critics suggested that the president
will find it increasingly difficult to
put across his increased military
preparedness program. "Pork" admit
tedly is dear to the heart of every con-
gresham, and there were veiled sug-
gestions that the president must per.
NIT reciprocity" if he wants his pro.
gram to succeed in toto.
The president 8 first message regard
ing revenues for the program was dis
cussed in this mornings cabinet ses-
sion. The general cabinet opinion ap-
pears to favor to getting the required
funds by lowering the income tax ex-
emptions, and by sugar and wool duties.
Meantime, there is a growing mis-
giving as to what part former Secre-
tary of State Bryan will play in the
thwarting of administration plans. The
political experts believe increased mil
itary provision will be made, but there
have been hints that the republicans
are not entirely ready to let the meas
ure go through labelled democratic, /"
'and for that reason will suggest some
shifts. Administration followers say,
that on the whole, the republicans and
the democrats will be for the program
and that no contingent will risk op-
position to the measure with possible
i'll political results to themselves.
