New York, Dec. ct is a wonder
more people are not blind! The op-
uclans have invented a machine
known as the retinoscope, to be used
IN correcting optical ills, which re-
tracts the strain in fib telling. You
may be able to tell lie and keep a
straight face but you can't do it and
maintain normal vision. The time
would not seem far off when this ap-
paratus is installed in every court
room and the jury will no longer be
dependent upon the honor of the wit
ness With the tiny beam of the in
stument playing upon the eye an
erroneous statement of fact will cause
tell-talG shadow of refraction to fit
across the eye which is registered in
the machine and qualities you for a
member of the Ananias Club, if you
have not been too careful of the facts.
Inc vision is weakened and impaired
by this disarrangement of the mental
faculties in the frequent telling of
untruth, and again l say it is a won
der more people are not carrying tin
cups.

Mr. Blackman's church has a mo-

are that his policy is popular. On
as point, Mr.. Blackman said:
'0ur church has outgrown its pre-

Outsiders are already beginning to
flock to New York for the Christmas
shopping season. The stores are TAX
ing on an aspect of tinsel and colors.
We hear much talk about the numer-
GUS eliminations of useless toys and
other things which, before and dur
ing the war, we deemed so essential
TO our welfare and enjoyment-but,
really one can not see single speck
of difference in the store displays.
They seem to have as many, if not
more, of the old-time gee-gaws, and
an unlimited number of innovations.
New York children should have lots
Of fun selecting their holiday gifts.
1t makes one think of those who will
not be so fortunate-for instance, the
millions of Russion youngsters who
are now being fed by the American
Relief Administration, headed by
Herbert Hoover. 1t makes one con-
clude that a very human Christmas
gift would be one of the food remit
tances which are being sent to Rus
STA to help the older folks in the
stricken country, and which can be
obtained by applying to the American
Relief Administration, az Broadway.
