An Eye Opener

There are a few occupations in
Wisconsin which we should all like to
see abolished for want of patronage.
Among these are the sale Of glass
eyes. Few Of us would object to see
ing the asylums for the blind closed
for the same reason.
Prevention is always better than
cure. In blindness prevention offers
almost the only hope, because the
condition is almost never durable,
Such general considerations have
lead the Extension Division of the
University Of Wisconsin to issue a
bulletin on The Eye in Industrial
Accidents" which should be widely
read. While it is just off the press
we expect the demand for it will be
great. So long as copies are available,
however, they will be mailed, free of
cost, to citizens who send a request
to this bureau.
While written primarily for people
engaged in industrial plants the bull
letin has great value for all because
eye injuries are too common every
where This very morning | have
learned Of two personal acquaint-
ances who have been dangerously
jured during their. vacations one
by a golf ball, the other in chopping
wood at a lake resort.
The bulletin considers the most
common ways in which eyes are in
jured and describes safety appliances
which have been devised to reduce
liability. Just how carelessness; the
contempt for danger which familiar.
ity breeds; dullness, lack of alertness
or stupidity; poor eyesight; poor
lighting; and poor sanitary conditions
cause eye injuries is clearly described
The bulletin has been prepared By
specialist who speaks with authority
but in language free from technica
words and phrases.
One cent invested in postcard
might be the means of saving you,
eyesight or that of near friend 0,
relative.

NICKALLS MAKES CHANGES
Varsity Crew Thing of the Past Entire Makeup to Be Revised by NickaIlS.

New Haven, May 30.-With race with Harvard only about a month away the Yale navy suffered one of the worst shake-ups in the history of rowing yesterday. The poor show ing that the crew made in the race with Cornell on the Cayuga Saturday has confirmed the opinion which had previously been expressed around the campus that the crew has gone stale.
 What the day will bring forth no one knows, but some shrewd guesses have been made to the effect that Hartman, Sturtevant and Hadley will be the only ones hitherto on the first boat that will remain there now.
 Hartman is one of the best men that the Eli rowing authorities have ever uncovered, and it is a pity that he cannot continue as the stroke of the first shell. It is thought however, that for the sake of the morale of the crew another man ought to take his place. He will probably be shifted to number two in the varsity shell, so called, although the way it looks now such a thing, as a varsity crew is but a mere phrase.
 The men were given a.great deal of pair-oar work in their training period yesterday and a tentative varsity crew was picked by Coach Nickalls a s follows: cockswain, Pratt; stroke, Lawrence; No. 7, Atkins; No. 6, Kos itzky; No. 5, Fox; No. 4, Sheldon; No. 5, Munson; No. 2, Hartman; New ton, bow.

In view Of the showing these two supposedly stout pennant contenders have made, the home stand at hand will be a highly. important one. If they should be unable to make any hea d. way through June they might as well be counted out of the race-barring another miracle uprising. If they are to get going, they are about due.

MATTY HELPS GIANTS ON TOWARD RECORD
Old Master Serves Up Choice Lot
 Of Renders to Braves

Boston, May 3O-Old man Matty was the presiding genius of the seven- teenth consecutive victory of the Giants, won yesterday afternoon from the outplayed and outgamed Boston Braves by score of to O. Tn all the time Mathewson has been bitch ing, from his early years and through ana beyond the high tide of his skill to his present mellow old age pitching old age that is-he never did a more neatly artistic job than this afternoon when he and his fel- lows shut out the Braves.
 Banking the opposition was an apr proprlate way to celebrate a new big !eague record for consecutive games won on tour. In 1912 the Washing tons of the American won seventeen games in succession, sixteen of them away from home. All of the Giants present seventeen uninterrupted sue. cesses have been won away from the1r own vine and fig tree
 Matty pitched with skill and ease this afternoon. He didn't use a fast ball often, but he made the bulb curl and dip and skid past the Boston bats md he was constantly mixing his service so that the batters never knew what to expect. He outguessed them constantly and with his change of pace and an infrequent splitter to distract them he so preyed upon the oatters that they couldn't time the ball at all as it came up to them, They were off balance, swinging too 1oon and lunging. It was mesmerisin hat Maty exercised upon the obedient Braves, The score:

ball, and if the breaks come their way there is nothing to stop them from leading the procession in october Boston, New York, Chi cago, St. Louis and Detroit are vir- ttally eliminated from the race by reason of their inability to get good p1tchlng. This leaves the race be- tween Washington and Cleveland, and there is no comparison in the pitch- Ing strength of these two learns This means that in due time there must be a change in the situation
