RESOLUTIONS
Passed by the Florida State Optome-
try Association

Passed by the Florida State OptOme-
try Association
Mr.. President: Your committee on
resolutions begs leave to present the.
following for your consideration:
In the many years of it's history,
the Florida Optometrv Association
has held its annual conventions in va
rious cities of the state, ranging from
small to large. 1t is the opinion of
your committee that never have they
been more Hospitality OF courteously
received, or had more royal well
come than that accorded by the city
authorities and the Marion County
Board of Trade.
Wherefore, be it resolved, that the
hearty thanks and appreciation of this
association both individually and col
lectively be rendered the mayor of
Ocala and the president and secretary
of the Marion County Board of Trade,
and the association wishes to express
the hope that when they meet again
in beautiful Ocala. they will at the
same time be visiting Forida's capital
city.
Whereas, the arrangements made in
advance for the comfort and enter
tainment of an association such as
ours tend to make or mar the success
of such convention; and whereas,
this years meeting has been arranged
for in such an orderly and complete
way, be it resolved. that this associa-
tion is fully aware of the fact that
this is due in a large measure to the
untiring efforts of DIR. K. ]. Weihe,
and this association wishes to go on
record as being highly appreciative of
his efforts in their behalf and to ex-
tend to him the hearty thanks of the
Florida State Optometry Association.
Publicity of the right kind is highly
beneficial to our organization. This
fact, coupled with the hospitality of
the city as whole makes us more
than usually appreciative of the local
press; and be it resolved that the
thanks of this association be rendered
the Ocala press for its generous con-
tribution of space to our convention.
Education is the keynote to sue
cess. This applies more forcibly to
optometry at present than to almost
any other profession. In this spirit we
consider ourselves extremely fortu-
nate in having with US this year the
noted DIR. j. l. Pascal. and be it re-
solved that this association extend its
thanks to DIR. Pascal for his attend
ance and for his mastery educational
addresses, and hope that he will be
with US again in the years to come.
Hand in hand with education, the
success or failure of the optometrist
depends on the method and manner
of handling his business. We consider

No MAN LEFT To
TELL THE TALE
Army Officers Trying to Ascertain
Cause of Crash of Ambulance
Plane Saturday Afternoon
Associated Press)

Washington. May 30.-Army Off
GERS are preparing today for an Off
cial investigation of the crash during
a storm late Saturday near Indian
Head, Maryland, of an ambulance air
plane in which seven men, five army
officers and two civilians, met death.
The fact that every occupant of the
machine was killed, making it neces-
sary for the board of inquiry to de-
pend largely on the observation of
distant eye witnesses in forming their
conclusions made it appear doubtful
the exact cause of the disaster could
never be developed.

INTERNMENT CAMP FOR
POLITICAL IRISHMEN
CAssociated Press)

Ballykinlar, Ireland, May 30.-The
internment camp for Irish political
prisoners established here last Novem-
Der is now filed with 1927 men. 1t
was originally used as a training
camp for Ulster troops in the war and
is divided into two enclosures which
are called Cages"
Within each of these are rows of
brown huts and an extensive recrea-
tion ground. the whole ringed about
thickly with barbed wire overlooked
by a number of high sentry boxes.
There have been no escapes from
Ballykinlar and no attempted breaks.
"Tunnelling would be impossible" an
officer said. because the water comes
close TO the surface of the ground"
The men are housed 25 to a hut,
each being provided with a plank bed,
straw mattress and four blankets.
The Associated Press correspon-
dent and a representative of an Eng
lish news agency were the first news
paper men ever allowed to visit the
camp, which is about 80 miles from
Belfast. Scarcely a drearier spot is
to be found in Ireland The camp is
pitched on fiat which is swept by all
the winds that sport on Dundrum Bay.
1--WE have a lot of rain here" said one
of the British army officers in charge.
I'VE get the maximum rainfall"
The prisoners were shy of the
newspaper men. Joseph McGrath, a
member of parliament from a Dublin
district, prisoner who holds the post
of Irish supervisor of internees," |"
voiced his distrust of the correspon-
dents who sought to interview him
about prison conditions.
"How do know who you are?" he
asked. "Any outsider allowed TO come
into this camp is bound to be suspect
from our point of view. You could not
come unless the military authorities
consented.
Even if you are what you say you
are, anything / told you would be
subject to censorship before you were
allowed to publish it. i am willing to
give you written statement if you
can undertake to print it as submit
ted. The Hrsh people viii never
earn the truth about conditions here
until we are released and can tell
ourselves"
Two sleeping huts inspected by the
newspaper men were clean and welt
kept and there were stove fires burn
ing. Prisoners do the cooking under
the supervision of a British army
sergeant. The interned men were at
their evening meal in the messroom
and looked up with curiosity at the
sight of strange civilians.
One of the first prisoners eneoun-
tered in the camp was Dublin bar
rister whose long white beard gave

ourselves fortunate in having with us
one who has exemplifed in wonder
full manner the methods advanced by
him and given to US. Therefore be it
resolved that we extend neighborly
greetings, best wishes, many thanks
and "come again, Bill" to DIR. H. j.
Tippett.
The Florida State Optometry AS
sociation wishes to officially and per-
sonally thank the management of the
Ocala House for courtesies extended,
and for their much appreciated help
to make this meeting a success.
Your committee has reviewed with
much pleasure the work of the official
personnel of the association for the
past year. and in view of the enol
nous amount of work they have done,
and the results attained, be it resolv-
ed that the thanks of the Florida
State Optometry Association be ex-
tended to the officers and Legislative
committee of our association.
When highly successful, estab-
lished man leaves his business and
professional duties. year after year,
for the uplift of his fellow practi-
TONERS, and the sake of an ideal, your
committee feels that his efforts
should have proper recognition by his
associates; therefore be it resolved by
this association that to DIR. II. E.
Lough, the dean of optometry in Flor
ida, and the old wheel horse of the
Florida association, we extend our
heartfelt thanks, for his arduous la
bors in our behalf, for his uniform
urbanity, courtesy and continuous et-
forts in behalf of our profession.
Some good woman has said that
"the way to a mans heart is through
his stomach" Your committee does
not feel competent to pass on this, but
they do think that the Florida Optical
Company has reached the hearts of
every member of the association by
it's generosity in acting as host at u
magnificent banquet, and that the
sincere thanks of the association be
rendered the above firm for its
thoughtfulness and liberality.

New York, Sept. 29.-New York's
first bread line since the stormy days
which marked the start of the world
war was established in the Bowery.
The bread line was opened last night
under direction of DR.. VIM. Guthrie
as a result of a conference last week
with Urban Ledoux, champion of the
unemployed. About 600 men many of
whom raced from the benches of a
park to be first in line were fed.
Dormitories have been opened in the
chapel and about $50 men slept
there last night.
Despite the opening OF, the bread
line members of the Industrial Aid
bureau reiterated unemployment con-
ditions here had been overpainted. It
was pointed out municipal houses
and other agencies where men can
get food and shelter for two hours
work are running far below their ca
pacity. The bureau housing commit
tee decided against proposals to open
the national guard armory for dormi-
tories.

BARBECUE DINNER.

After demonstrating how well the

barbecue dinner with slaw and other
good things and soft drinks thrown in
which was thoroughly enjoyed by a
large number of farmers and friends
from different parts of the county.
Mr.. Abbitt fed about sixty people and
there was plenty to spare.
Mr.. Abbitt requested Mr.. J. d.

Mr.. King in charge of the de-
monstration made talk on Power
Farming and the Usefulness of the
Tractor" on the farm and farming
implements.
Three tractors were working, two
of them breaking ground, while
another was narrowing and placing
the land in fine shape. The plows
were cutting the soil to a depth of
ten inches, with subsoiler running
in the same furrow. Mr.. Petway sup
erintendent on the farm of Mr.. Wat
son and Mr.. Watson also said that
this was deeper than the land had
ever been plowed before.
Breaking land in this way en-
ables the roots to go down deep and
find moisture, and fertilizer that has
been undisturbed before and Of lit

in a number of the states Of the
