European War Increases Call
For Artificial Optic Handled
BY Detroit Firm

The wearing OF artificial glass
eyes is greater today than at any
time in the worlds history. largely
due to the European war, altho in
our own country one person in every
300 Is the wearer OF such an eve
The three primary causes OF the
loss OF eyes are accidents. diseases
and carelessness The latter Is
really a branch OF the trst two
causes mentioned Our industrial
life contributes the largest number
OF unfortunates. tho many factories
today require their workmen, to
wear safety glasses and even pay
for them or sell them to the work
men az cost. The Ford Motor com
psny purchase such glasses in thou
sand lots.
Glass eyes have always been I'm
ported from Germany, but now
these imports are shut on and the
supply In this country is very low
There are three men IN the United
States who make such eyes to or
der and their workmanship f. real
ly marvellous. One OF these men.
Arno Kohler, OF New York. recently
paid a visit to the Johnston Optical
company, Of Detroit. and made an
average Of ,l5 eyes a day during
his stay TiN is an annual trip and
Detroiters who wear eyes and de-
msnd perfect matches. look forward

eyes are fiat. tho best ones having

OF them much more comfortable.
Contrary 20 the opinion OF many
people, the wearing OF an eve causes
no discomfort. Many people are

many cases a discharge from the

CAT AS AN AID TO HUMANITY
Declaration of War on Feline Is Just
Fad and Is All "Tommyrot"
Says Writer.

Society is very frequently victim
of fads. Many of these fads have been
very harmful to the lower animals.
Witness, for instance, the fashion of
trimming ladies' hats with the surviv-
ing remains of deceased birds, until
an Easter procession has been wont to
look like an aviary funeral cortege.
Some time ago certain wiseacres con-
nected with our national government
pronounced the doom of the English
sparrow, wv o. s." writes in Nation
al Humane Review. These wise sci
entists stated that they were driving
away our native birds and that the
sparrow was a public nuisance. Later
developments have shown that the
sparrow is one of the most active de-
stroyers of harmful insects that we
have and that he is living in peace
with his feathered brethren.
Now another fad has seized the ex-
tremists. The cat must GO. 1t Is a
