With the November election but few days off and
with the S150OO000 good roads bond issue coming up for
vote at this election when the people OF the State OF Cal
ifornia be called decide whether not they
favor the issuance of bonds for completion of the State
Highway System as originally outlined, Deputy Com
missioner j. A. Speer of the TrState Good Roads Asso-
ciaton nc is in Imperial County in the interest Of the
favorable adoption OF these road bonds.
Deputy Commissioner Speer represents an organlza-
ton operating practically every county OF the three
Pacific Coast States particularly California. The asso-
citation is wagng statewide campaign in the interest
of the adoption of the road bonds at the November eec
ton and its representatives visiting the various
ties prior to the voting day.
According to State Highway Commissioner N D
Darlington of Los Angeles, the State Highway System
as planned 1910 will be left in uncompleted condi
ton unless the bonds passed in November. There
great gaps the present system that must be closed
before the system be declared completed and these
are the gaps that will be taken of by the SIS 600
bond issue.
AS result of this measure, should the bonds carry,
Imperial County will derive many miles Of State High
way The proposed San Bernardino County State High
way lateral to Arizona will cut through this county,
touching Brawley and Ell Centro and continuing east
ward along the line to Yuma Ariz The National South
Trail proposed, also ends at Yuma thereby opening
to the Imperial Valley this great outlet of motorists from
the southwest
The Ell Centro-San Diego highway, now still in an
uncompleed condition outlined by the States speci
cations, will also be finished This will open up the val
ley to the to Arizona north to the Riverside and
Los Angeles Counties. Imperial County, should the $15
GoO000 bands carry in November will be opened to the
world with state bouevards running east north and
Deputy Commissioner Speer will carry out the work
Of the IrState Good Roads Association Inc Imper-
al County and will gather the general sentiment of the
local voters while here In order the adoption
OF the bonds great deal of work must be done in the
outlying sections of the state and thousands Of pieces
literature maps pamphlets and statistical data must be
delivered to the voters of the state
The general work of canvassng the county and cir
euating data visiting the various Chambers of Com
nerce boards OF trade and commercial bodies, will be
possoble to give Imperial County majority to overcome
that opposition which may arise in counties that will not
derive highways fran the bond issue will be done
BY Speer in the hope Of carrying the bonds

you want me to advise women as to how
they can become successful as writer's of
advertisements? My advice to women
who are thinking of beginning career as
an ad woman would bo to become a
thinker and carefully study the surround
ings and environments in the city or town
where they are engaged in business. It Is
impossible to learn the advertising busl-
ness out of copybooks. First of all you
must have practical experience and second
you must tell the truth in the ADVERTISE
ment you write and place in the news
papers and magazines. There must be truth
In every word written by the ad writer

| DERHAPS you have noticed some per-
| i son whose eyeballs were constantly roll
Ing. If the habit was very marked the per-
son had nystagmus. In nystagmus the eyes
roll back and forth from one to 200 times
each minute. In most cases the movement
| is rotary. Sometimes 1t is from side to side,
| Occasionally 1t is up and down.
The movements affect both eyebalis.
though the two eyeballs may not move to-
gether, and sometimes the movement in
one is much more rapid than the other.
Perhaps the first symptoms that the pa
tlent notices is that objects seem to dance
before his eyes This causes him to be
dizzy. Headache develops. If the eyes are
examined and they should be, the prob
ability is that It will be found that glasses
are needed.
II these earlier symptoms are neglected
presently It will be noticed that che eyeballs
are dancing Nystagmus is well developed
There are two groups of causes for
nystagmus and it is important that one
should find out to which group his case be-
longs In one group the cause is some or
Ranio disease OF brain or nerves, especially
Of the optic nerve. Careful examination
Of the back Of the eye wnen the trouble Is
due 10 disease of the optic nerve will show
the cause, When the disease is due to or
Eanio disease OF the brain careful exam
ination of the nervous system will show IT,
In the other group the train OF symptoms
dancing of eyeballs, glddiness, headache
nausea, tremor-are the result of fatigue
and especially of great fatigue of the eyes
In Europe miners nystagmus Is very
innportant In a certain coal mine union
about four miners out Of each 1000 have
niner's nystagmus. No such condition pre-
wallis In this country, In 1910 no nystagmus
was found among coal miners in Illinois.
probably tnere Is virtually none in this
country The reason is that coal miners In
this country work by good light. The gal
leries are large. A great deal OF the work
Is done by machinery. There is almost none
OF tine picking while lying on the back,
working in narrow quarters, and by poor
light so prevalent in European coal mines.
The American miner very much in need Of
glasses Is very apt TO wear pair Of
properly fitting spectacles.
This form OF nystagmus being the result
OF exhaustion, great fatigue prolonged eye
strain. can be cured II taken in time by
extended rest II Is necessary TO rest the
body and especially to rest the eyes.

Set broad pan of water over the fire

water so that the steam will flow upon the
wrinkles. Hold It thus for five minutes

Letters to the Editor of the Woman's
Address NIL o on

Dear NJ Liss-Please, II you can let mo know
through the EVENING LEDGER a recipe for maxi
ing vinegar from the mother OF cider vinegar.
MRS. 2. *. II.
You can make vinegar from the mother
of cider vinegar, a manufacturer tells me,
by putting the mother in jar of cider The
mother is an organism that inoculates the
contents of the jar and causes the chemical
change that we call vinegar. but the cider
will turn into vinegar just the same, al
though possibly not so quickly. If you leave
for some time. In other words. the cider
will turn into vinegar If placed in a warm
place and covered up whether the mother
is in it or not. The trouble with using the
mother Is, that If It Is left In the cider too
long 1t will eat UP all the vinegar and all
you will have left is alcohol and water

Canning Hint

Fruit Jars cost a pretty penny when you
have to buy enough Of them to do the sum-
mer's canning. A good way to keep the
jars from cracking when the hot preserves
are put into them is the old method of using
a silver knife. Slip the knife in while the
preserves are being poured in; when the
jar is quite full remove It, The heat Is
absorbed by the knife and the jar remains
quite cool.

Some of the advanced stylists are already

that is real hot weather is only Just upon

seeing is scarcely believing.
The first glance at fall styles proves con.
cluslvely that the reign OF the very full
skirt Is over. Paris says so, and as proof
of the statement smart Parlsiennes have
been seen on the boulevards recently in
cllnging skirts. The silhouette of this new
skirt is a soft, moderate fullness which fol.
lows the lines of the figure but Is by no
means either a sheath or a hobble. It's
Just cross between the crlnoline and the
hobble Could IL be possible that the vogue
for extremes is over and fashions at last
are willing to conform themselves to

the skirt and at the top of the stick place

little by little around the body, placing a
pin In skirt at top edge of stick each time
1t is set on the floor. After going thus all
around the skirt, lay It on bed and place
one end of the yardstick at the line of pins.
and at the lower part of skirt, place a pin
as far from the end of the yardstick as de-
sired around In the manner. then turn the
hem in at the new line of pins and baste
