You can use the movies to test your

on the annals Of ophthalmology.
There Is no surer way to inform
yourself OF optical defects. The nor

to the fitting films Of high grade,
while the subnormal eye makes its
complaint very apparent after steady
focusing upon pictures.
Persons with no defect of sight
mechanism should be able to enjoy at
the very least four sittings of from
one and one-half to two hours dura-

FOXY HINDU TO SUBPOENA
 HIGH OFFICERS

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 27. - Ram Chandra, principal Hindu defen- dant of l3l charged with conspiring to foment a revolution in India, today stated and in fact threatened, to sub poena two members of Presi- dent Wilson's cabinet to attend his trial.
 Secretary of State Robert Lansing and Postmaster General Burleson are the two cabinet members the Hindu declares he will have as his witnesses, also William Jennings Bryan and Rab- indranath Tagore, the Indian poet.
 Ram Chandra says he wants the above four named to testify for the defense, their line of evidence being that the United States government has no knowledge, past, present or future, of the Germans connection with the alleged plot of the revolution started in India.

ALASKA BISHOP WELCOMES LENT
 AS FOOD SAVER

"Lent has come for the 20y0O0,00O Catholics who dwell under the shadow of the Stars and Stripes" says the Right Reverend Crimont, bishop Of the Catholic church in Alaska, in statement received in Seward. 1t k a welcome guest, that is to stay with them for six weeks and a half until Holy Saturday, this year, March 30. Lent will play its part in helping our country to win the war, as far a. Catholics are concerned. The issue or this great war is to be decided not only on the battlefeldS of Europe or on the seas, but in the American homes. Lent, if conScientiouSly ob- served by Catholics vii contribute a very telling asset to the war resources of our country through the conServa- ton of food"
 Lenten regulations given out by Bishop Climont this year differ little from those of previous years except that the eating of fish and meat al the same meal is not, this time, inter- dicted. Men in the army and navy are not expected to observe all lasts, as are those who are under less rig orous physical strain.

AT BILLIARDS TO BE
 A GOOD SPORT

The billiard tournament at the Northern started off under favorable conditions last nght. Two games were played last night but from now on the three tables will undoubtedly be used as the players are sizing up the con testants before entering the Coulna- ment.
 Last night in the first game King defeated Hawthorn by score of 79 to 70. In the second game King was defeated by Caylor, the latter making S5 and King only 76.
 Although the score indicates that King won, he lost both games last night on handicaps.

RUSS CHURCH PROPERTY IN
 ALASKA SAFE

JUNEAU, Feb. .. - According to advices received here today the Bol- sheviki makes threats to seize the Russian church property in Alaska on March lst. This statement was shown to Father r. r. Kashevauod, head of the churches here and at Douglas, who said: This threat will not affect the Alaska churches. We have patents on all holdings in Alaska, issued by the United States government.
 AS regards further support of the Alaska churches to the Bolsheviki that is a matter not yet set clear. Father Kashevarof regards the BoI- shesi as - lawless |. W. w. and be- lieves that the more intelligent class es in Russia will prevail.
 The Most Reverend Dr. Tikhon, patriarch of all Russia, has issued an anathema, but the Bolsheviki element do not regard it with concern. The London Times Peuograd coweSpon- dent says that if Dr.. TikhOn would lay the country under an interdict closing the churches and not permit ting the priests to baptise, marry and bury the dead, the effect on the popu- lation might be immediate and far reaching.
