MANY FAIL THE
ARMY TEST

Men are being turned down every
day by the army surgeons because OF
poor eyesight
The news comes as a shock TO many
whpshave been going along for years
believing they had perfect eyeslght.

been oontending for years.

glasses
Others notice that while they can
read they have to make hard work Of
it
Others don't realize that reading Is
a strain on the eyes
So long as they can see fairly well
they go on neglecting their eyes.
We are glad Of the work being done
by the army surgeons.
It is going to make many realize the
need Of looking after their eyesight.
At this season Of the year the sun
is extremely irritating to the nerves
of the eyes and we suggest that all
people who spend much time ont in the
sun should protect their eyes by wear

them in many colors from so cents up

GIRL IN OVERALLs
BY JANE OSBORN.


The girl in the oYalalls on the top Of
the ladder looked dawn when, for the
fourth time that day. she heard an
alarm clock--one Of the large, insist
ent, brazen-voiced sort--rInging In the
next cottage.
1t was twelve o'clock, and it seemed
TO the girl as SHE wAH ded q brush satu-
rated and dripping With verdant green
palnt, that il was about time the latest
sleeper had arisen And, besIdess as
Margot Of the palntbrush knew, there
was nobody in the cottage next door
but certain very diverting two-year-
old lassie named Peggy and her moth
er Why the alarm clock? For the
Gregory cottage and the Kenyon cot
tage, located In the middle of cozy
little pine wood not fur from the lake
were the only habltations for mile or
SO.
There it was that Margot and her
brother spent their vacation and week
ends. and because Margot's brother
had merely grunted vague promises
every time she suggested that he put
a much-needed coat of paint on the lit
tie dollhouse cottage, she had finally
made up her mind to paint it herself.
Suddenly, without any warning, the
ladder slipped and Margot was left sit
ting on the ledge OF the sloping roof.
She worked her way along until she
reached one Of the windows, Her feet
dangled just above it. She tried to
persuade herself that she enjoyed sit
ting there looking through the pine
trees.
Il wonder if shall have to sit here
all day TIL Tom gets home? How hun

then she heard the two-year-old Peg

cottage, and she thought Of her neigh

"Oh, say, Mrs. kenyon! ~ she called.

There was an echo of the baby wall,
then sounds under the trees through
the brush and then a tall young man
stood below her His sleeves were
rolled up to his elbows and over his
white flannel trousers was firmly tied
a blue-and-white gingham apron.
"Would you awfully mind setting
that ladder up against the house?" she
said. "rm housepainting and it slipped

A very eccentric lady died in County

After the lady's death no win could

died intestate. The solicitor for the

about 40 days in the house going
through the most extraordinary ac-
cumulation of papers, documents and
valuable property that filled the rooms
in the house and even the hail. Not
only every room, but every corridor
was piled high with loose papers,
books and parcels Of all sizes and de-
scriptions, and the litter on the stairs
was almost knee deep. Various sums
of money were found in very peculiar
and unlikely places; in rubbish on the
floors, in band boxes, and In a purse,
and two bank notes for fl were actu-

lawyers recovered an immense amount
Of property, including 1900 in bank

A bridge has recently been COM
pleted by the Burlington railroad
across the Platte river at Yutan, Neb.,
which has girders at either end, while
the center is trestlework. This unus-
ual form of bridge construction is dc
scrlbed In the Popular Mechanics Mag
azine. At Yutan the stream often
overfiows. becoming over half mile
wide, and in winter destructive ice
jams have formed on it. With
view to providing a bridge strong
enough to resist the Ice and yet not
excessive in cost, the width of the
Platte was decreased at this point
from 1000 feet TO about 1880 feet by
building an embankment on one side.
This intensified the two currents that
flowed near the two banks and auto
matically deepened their channels so
that the ice was more easily carried
on in sprlrg. The two current beds
were spauned by girders placed on
piers, set rs feet apart. while between
these there was built q trestie 100 feet
long.
