The DISARMAMENT CONFERENCE.

There is doubt but that every student of national affairs
takes much pride in the drecness with which Americas pro-
poas for limited armament submitted the thor
oughness which their content implies.
So far America has just for pride in all of her
mens in regard this conference They have been worthy the
greatest nation earth.
1t will be interesting though the reaction to these
proposals the part of the nations most directly affected by
them
Japan according to the of these proposals. will have
naval armament much less in tonnage than Great Britain the
United States.
Great Britain, according to Them guaranteed greater
the start than either of the powers granted pre-
sumaby because the efficient protection of her extensive
demands it.
America taking intermediate place between Great Britain
and Japan according to the terms of the proposal would after
the end of the ten holiday be equal with Great Britain
Just what the outcome OF this conference will be cannot

not been properly corrected If you
have suffered these symptoms for
years the presence of hypermetropia
is probable. An aching sensation is
felt in and about the brows. Pain
is often felt in the back of the
head; letters run together, eyes
water, or become congested. The
impulse to look away to give them
rest is persistent.
In high degrees of hypermetropia
these symptoms manifest themselves
early in life. If the strain on the
muscles of accommodation is not re-
lieved with glasses, severe pains
about the front and back of the
head frequently follow and some
times. general discomfort, even if
more serious ailments do not re-
suit. Usually, the eyes are too short.
The tendency is to form the focus
beyond, and not on the retina. A
constant strain of the ciliary mus
cles in the effort to sharpen vision
results. Consequently, the eye new
er rests, at least when open, and
often not even when closed. This
constant effort of the eye involves
serious strain.
Asthenopia, or weak sight, is a
comman accompaniment of hyper
metropia, being the natural result
of eye strain. When the age of pres
bycopia or old sight is reached it
begins to develop with greater speed
and danger, A sense of exhaustion
follows this train. The reaction
upon the nervous system creates a
sense of languer and depression en-
ding sometimes in prostration and
paralysis. In the young, cross-eye, or
a tendency toward it is quite apt
to be associated with hypermetropia,
which is its most natural cause.
These complex conditions may make
manifest the Importance of the sub
ject and the liability of serious con-
sequences following if the proper
fitting of the eyes with glasses is
neglected.

Mrs. H. L. Walker of 1874 East

by reporter concerning the charge
of voodooism made to the City
Council against her and her con-
gregatiOn by John Steiner, said,
among other things:
when l moved into this proper

Steiner who protested our being here
because of our color. He melted
the neighborhood against me and
even piled rocks up on a vacant lot
adjoining and spread the rumor
that we were to be stoned 1t was
necessary for me to appeal to the
police for protection, and this | did.
81 have lived here for fourteen
years and have conducted religious
services in our chapel on the back
OF the lot during the entire time.

Arthur lad of twelve, threw rocks
against the building while we were
holding religious services. | took
the matter up with his mother, and
she said that he was in a free
country and could throw rocks at
whom he pleased.
Il again appealed to the police
and it was necessary that officers
go to the house to make the boy
stop. AS to the charge of voodooism,
1t is merely a subtle way of attempt
ing to cast reflections upon our re-
ligious worship We conduct the

ANONYMOUSLY hanged" Senator Wat
son of Georgia told his associates,

A statement declaring such an il
legal execution had taken place was

He predicted that this assertion that
I soldiers were hanged without trials
would be substantiated from all sec
tons of the country.

Senator Watson refused to make
the names of his correspondents
public. He said the confirmation
from New York came from form
er Major in the American Expedi-
airy Forces.
In his remarks on the floor, Wat
son declared he will not appear be-
fore the Brandegee committee, de-
tailed to investigate his charges, or
any other committee. He intimated
the bell that the committee was
stacked against him.

Attention was called privately by
Watson to the fact that the Drank
degee committee had been given no
authority to send for persons and
papers, to examine witnesses under
oath or to exert suctomary inquis-
itorial powers and no funds had
been provided for the inquiry. He
insisted this was necessary if the in
vestigation is to be real" and not
perfunctory.
In conversation, Watson said his
attack is not on the honor Of the
American Army or its officers of a
whole, but was simply aimed at Of

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
SIGHT.
BY F. S. Rogers, Opt. d.

Hypermetropia or Long Sight,
is the most important and most
prevalent especially in schools and
possibly, the most harmful in re-
suits of all defects, because more
often latent. This condition called
far sight or over sight; not because
one can see farther or better than
with a normal eye, but because the
focal point of the eye is adjusted
to point abnormally distant. Theirs
fore, it cannot be adjusted to a
near point without strain unless
aided by glasses. Normal eyes are
adjusted naturally to any distance;
this eye to none except beyond the
far point and then only through an
abnormal strain; hence the desig-
nation "far sighted"
Notice whether you are proned to
to look away to relieve your eyes
of the strain of seeing at the near
point. Even when looking away
your eyes suffer, as we have said,
a peculiar strain not known to the
normal eye. They are defective,
whatever the point of view. Dis
tant vision is loss of strain, how
ever, than near vision. Thus the
painful fact about this eye is that
it is always under strain, con-
scious or unconscious, and more or
less, according to the degree of the
defect. Yet the excessive strain at
the near point in reading or other
close work aften makes looking off
some relief.
Before the age of forty this hab-
it of looking off is a pretty sure
sign of hypermetropic conditions.
After that age it may indicate the
same and it may also indicate that
the presbyopia, or old sight, has

of "Tri-mountain." by which name
Boston was known to the early set

that serve as a background to the pen

He whirled; stared; slowly raised
his hands. It's one thing to face odds;
quite another to face certain death.
Behind the three black muzzles poking
out through the bushes glowered the
truculent, bearded faces of Louie Solo
mons three rowers.
Grim as the three Fates, they stalked
toward him. Two of them kept him
covered, while the third plucked the
revolver from his pocket and dropped
it into his own. After that he bent
over the body of his master; touched
his face; lifted hand; laid it across
his breast. He picked up the red mask
and snarled around at the others. The
others growled swore; and the Pearl
hunter fancied the revolvers pointed
at him a little straighter, . little more
vindictively. It was not the first time
these three had faced the Red Mask.
He had long been their particular
nightmare. It was the first time they
had seen him with his mask off, and
