Miners NystaQmus.

Among the occupatiOnal diseases
which have been the object of slight
attention in this country may be in
cluded miners nystagmus. No thor
ough investigation has been made to
disclose it, so that, though IL is known
to exist, no definite information is
available as to the extent to which the
industry is affected by 1t.
A bulletin has been issued, however.
by the United States bureau of mines
concerning European experience with
this disease, particularly that Of Ger
many and Great Britain, where 1t is
so common as to be recognized as
among the occupational diseases for
which compensation is paid.
Two views. II appears, are advanced
as to the cause of miners ~nystagmus.
zone attributes it TO eye strain due
to working in a badly-lighted space
with black notwithstanding surface the
other to strain of the extrinsic mus
cles of the eye, especially of the ele-
vator muscles, due TO the position Of
the miner when at work at the coal
face or when examining the roof of
the workings to detect gas or threat

Shaw Didn't Like Him.

"Many years ago In a house In Ash
ley Gardens" writes G. Bernard Shaw
In the New Witness, II was walking
along a corridor with other guests at
a musical evening when / saw coming
toward me a man who produced an ex-
traordinarily disagreeable impression
on me, a tall young man in evening
dress, with a blond beard and, as II
seemed to me, a hateful expression.
'He was coming straight at me. /
moved aside to avoid him, and he
moved too, apparently to get into my
way again. An impulse of rage at this
insult was checked just In time by the
discovery that instead of walking along
a corridor l was crossing a square
landing and that the detestable ap-
partition who had chilled my very soul
with his abominable aspect was a re-
Election of myself In the wall of mirror
which the tenant of the Ashley Gar
dens fiat had put up to give his
cramped dwelling an appearance of
spacious magnificence."

 SEES MOTOR
 TRUCK VALUE

Plans for the largest troop moVe- ment ever scheduled in this country are now being perfected by the Amer ican Railway association at the re- quest of the government. Altogether 6S7, 900 men have been and will have to be transported to the various can tonments of the new national army. according to information received by McArthur Brothers.
 In addition, the railroads have been asked to transport $50, ,000 members of the national guard to their training camps. Some conception of the mag nitude of this task may be sleaned from the fact that to move one field army of S0,000 men requires 6229 cars made up in 366 trains with as many locomotives and train crews.
 Beside the troop movements, says R. E. Chamberlain, truck sales manag- CT of the Packard Motor Car com pany, commenting on the unusual traffic situation, the railroads have been called upon to move all food supplies, material to and from muni- tion plants, and materials for canton- ments. These exigencies of war have taken more than 100000 cars from the regular channels of commerce
 Through The Railroads War Board, official war organ of the American Railway association, the as- sociation has appealed to all ship pers to eliminate the use of railway equipment when tonnage tan be hand led by motor truck. A more general use of motor trucks for short haul work is necessary if a satisfactory de- gree of efficiency is to be reached by the railroads in meeting added de- mands.
 The government now classes a 40- mile haul as a motor truck haul and shippers who want to aid the govern ment as well as to improve their own service have enlisted the motor truck as the logical carrier for hauls up to and even beyond this distance"

faith, to accomplish an object which apparently in itself is legitimate. It is of no present interest that in some of it's provisions it may be harsh, or even unenforceable as against the con- signee; he is not complaining. If he desires to withdraw from the relation, that is his right, but he cannot at the same time claim all the benefits of the contract and repudiate it's burdens"
 The case was presented to the court by L. B. Robertson of Detroit, general attorney for the Ford Motor company, and Harrison G. Platt of Portland, Oregon, and the decision is a distinct victory for fair trade practices.

DEALERS OF JORDAN ARE
 OPTIMISTIC

Among the many interesting facts revealed at the recent convention of Jordan motor car dealers in Cleveland, the home of the Jordan Motor Car company, was the announcement that the full Jordan scheduled output has been taken up by the dealers until January 1 of next year The meeting itself is generally regarded as one of the most successful motor car pep" conventions in years, according to Bab- bitt-Polson company.
 q am certainly glad I attended" said one man, not a Jordan dealer but a guest, nevertheless.
 Chief interest on the opening day was absorbed by the new closed models which were inspected at the factory. The new sport limousine and Sedan were focus centers of admiration and proved that once again the Jordan car is to be noted for beauty of line and luxury of finish.
 The same afternoon there was a short business session at the factory. with Ned Jordan as the official opener of the occasion.
 Then W. B. Riley, sales manager of the company, took charge, and spoke at length on the details of the new models, explaining not only the new features from a mechanical but sales point of view. Then he called upon various distributors to tell their prob lens in selling. the giving of service, and the handling of the used car Carl H. Page of New York City, O. G. Hef- finger of Chicago, C. F. Baker of De- troit, were among those who contri- buted some good ideas

W|LLYS SALES CONGRESS WAS

Appearance, performance, comfort, service and price-these are the five principal attributes of the successful motor car, according to the consensus of opinion as expressed by the star salesmen attending the John N. Willys sales congress, which was concluded in Chicago, Saturday, Sep tember 8, after sessions lasting three days aboard ship on the Great Lakes, according to information received by Manager Hotchkiss.
 Factory executives who took the trip, agreed that the affair was the
 most successful undertaking of it's kind in the history of the company. As one of them expressed it: More in-
 formation concerning the actual re-
 quirements of the public was obtained during those three days than could be gathered by the usual methods in years"
 By the usual methods, he referred to the customary letter writing system and personal investigation throughout the territory at large. The sole purpose of the congress ac- (COntinued On Page EOurl

 After recovering from surprise, the guests made wild rush for Sales Man ager Riley. Hey put me down for twenty" was the most modest express sion heard. However. Riley refused to promise anything definite on the de- livery of the model which is a four passenger car of exceedingly graceful and distinguished lines. Besides the royal Copenhagen blue in which it first appeared, it is also to be furnished in Italian tan. This is the car concerning which but the most vague rumors had been permitted to escape, and it's re- vealment, after apparently the entire line had been displayed, was in the na- ture of a master stroke.

ROOFING-MAKING PROCESS
SHOWN in THE MOVIES
st. Paul & Tacoma Lumber Company
Brings Industrial Film to the
/. Princess

The trend of the movies toward
things more worth while is pronounc-
ed. Silly antics and "slapstick" COM
edy are giving way to the enduring
art of Maude Adams and John Drew
and Sarah Bernhard. But in fields
hitherto. closed to places of amuseN
ment the motion picture has gained
entrance and from the threshold the
possibilities appear unlimited.
In Washington an institution known
as the Bureau of Commercial Eco
nomics has been organized. It's work
is displaying thru motion pictures how
things in common use are made and
produced and from what source the
raw material is obtained. Its films
are shown before universities, trade
conventions, county, city and state
boards, commercial and educational
societies and a wide field of like or
CARNATIONS. Such subjects as the
mining of gold, good road building,
grating Of bone in the leg, the
manufacture of a watch and social
work among the poor suggest the wide
range of this work.
One Of the industries depicted in
the films used by the bureau is the
manufacture of asphalt roofing from
old rags and asphalt. The views show
the process followed by the General
Roofing Mfg. Co., in making Certain
teed roofing. All the stages are shown
including the gathering Of rags, man
ufacturing the rags into felt, saturat-
ating the felt with the Certain-teed
blend of asphalts, the surfacing pro-
cess, the packing and shipping, and
even an amusing trick film showing a
roll of roofing laying itself.

the Princess Theatre March ID, Is and

IS NOW A CERTAINTY
Department of Labor will Again As
sist Strawberry Growers in
Getting Help

County Agriculturalist Lampson has
been advised by the u. s. department
of labor that special representative
will again be sent to Kenncwick dur
in the strawberry season to assist
the growers in securing the necessary
labor for handling the Kennewick-
Richland crop.
The plan to be followed will prob
ably be the same as last year, altho
details have not yet been definitely
worked out. Last year the govern
ment man was given Office room in the
Commercial club rooms and the work
was directed from there. At no time
during the season was there any
shortage Of labor and on the whole
the situation was most satisfactorily
handled. It is thought probable that
labor will be scarcer this year than
last.
