Have you ever tried to charm an
alligator? Well ut can be done pro-
vided you have the nerve and psychic
power-principally the nerve-to

Under the handling Of the man the

the feat isn't telling the secret Of his
power over alligators. You'll have to
find that out for yourself. '.'1

WASTE IN INDUSTRY
THROUGH BAD EYES
25,000,00O Persons Engaged
in Production Here Have
Defective Vision.

A large proportion of Industrial waste
is due to defective vision saye a COM
mittee Of the Federated Engineering
Societies. appointed by Herbert Hoover,
in a report Just issued The committee
estimates that more than so per cent
of the 42,O00,000 men an1 women In
American industry--at least 25.000,O0o
persons-have defective eyesight
Fatigue, more frequent accidents and
more frequent misl axes. all hamperins
production. are the principal effects of
defective vision in workers the COM
mittee says. The remedy Is, OF course
the committee sayG. periodic eye ex-
aminations and fi:t'ng OF glasses.
The responsibility for waste rests prin-
cipally on management th- report finds
though labor has real though smaller
"e. There is a prejudice against ply
steal examinations in many shops, the
committee says. with the result that
many workers live in subrormal health
whose condition is easily remediable.
Remarkable results have been OBJ
tained in several plants, the committee
says, through correction Of sub-standard
vision. One company had glasses fitted
to SO per cent of its employees and got
an increase Of 2S per cent in produc-
tivty while several others got more
than enough additional product to pay
for the examinations.
The report carries n general recon-
nendation that national policy on pub
lie health be formulated and put into
effect. Defective vision would come
under this general head. Further study
is required, the committee reports. to
discover the actual time labor loss, but
says it is obvious that a workman with
one fourth, one third or one half stand
ard vision cannot be as competent as a
workman with standard vision.

never had liked either the parrot or his
language, but he always had been
chained too far away to do anything
about it. Now. however. he was free.
He grabbed the parrot, pulled all the
bright feathers from the birds tail and
then fled up the deck. chattering and
grimacing and waving the feathers, leav-
ing the parrot entirely surrounded by
gloom. Mephisto. looking around for
amusement. spied the trained seals sun

climbed on the head of one and slid

The monkey enjoyed this, even IL the
seal didn't, and he did it again and kept
on doing it on one seal and then another
until they became disgusted and dived
into the tank. leaving Mephisto stranded
with no chutes to shoot. The ships
crew got after the monkey when he
began throwing things at them and at
lest they caught him, but not before he
