The Weakest Link
Breaks First

This applies to the human body. If
your system is under strain which
finally reaches the "Breaking Point''
you may be sure the break will come at
your weakest spot.
The eye is very delicate, very sensi-
tive organ. If it is weak beware 1t
makes no difference whether the tension
you are under be eye-strain, excess phys
ical labor, loss of sleep, over-study, too
much reading or any one of thousand
other cOnditions-you should take care
that your eye sight-the most treasured
Of all your faculties-be not impaired
If your eyes be weak or your eye
sight poor, steps should be taken TO
make reading and seeing pleasure in
stead of an effort. Glasses of the prop
er power and character will make your
eyesight practically normal and assist
nature in its effort to restore your eyes
to strong and healthy condition.
Don't wait until your eyesight is
permanently impaired. My 81 years of
practical experience enables me to fit
your eyes correctly. Ny prices are rea-
sonable for the material and service you
receive.
I guarantee satisfaction in every re-
spect.

This is a little inside information for
the man who likes to wear nifty cloth
! ing, all wool regardless of the width.
The hunch is to buy now as the word
has arrived ever the grape vine route
there will be some pretty tall prices on
woolen clothes this fall. The govern
ment is paying so per cent more for its
wooden goods than it did last December
and many big mills are running night
and day on government orders, ignoring
the demands Of the general trade. This
is straight.
Excavations were made today in Will
son park for the flag pole which will
be presented by the Elks to the city
with flag on Flag day, June II. May
or Keyes, the present exhaulted ruler of
the Salem lodge, presided at the cere-
monies. An address was made by
Charles R. Archard and A. J. Anderson
was in general charge. The pole to be
presented to the city by Salem, Oregon,
lodge, No. 336, B. p o. E., is to be go
feet high and the flag 10 by g feet. 1t
will be located about half way between
the band stand and the fountain.
If the management of the state fair
would spend less money on horse racing
and give little of it in the way of
prizes for floral exhibits, the floral dis
play at the fair would be much larger
and there would be some incentive for
Portland exhibitors. This opinion was
expressed last evening at the meeting of
the Floral society. Portland did not
compete last year. Last year the first
prize for floral display was only $40
and 81 of this had to be paid as en-
trance fee The members discussed the
advisability of holding rose exchange
at the state fair Another exchange
day will be held in Salem sometime this
fall.

LONDON. Oct Cone of the most
daring escapes from internment camps

prisoners. including Captain Muller.
who commanded the cruiser Emden,

peared through a tunnel extending
from hut in the camp to point out
side the barbed wire fence. How the
tunnel was dug is a mystery. Nine of
the prisoners were re-captured, in
Guiding Captain Muller and Lieuten-
ant Thelan.
The latter made three previous es-
capes. With Lieutenant Emil Tehm
and another of the re-captured pris-
iners, he fed from the detention bar
racks at Chelmsford last May. The
Germans made dummy locks of card
board. substituting them for the locks
on the cell doors. Dummy figures to
deceive the sentry were made from
bedclothes and some of their own gar.
ments. To make these figures the
more realistic they were decorated
with shocks of hair from their mat
