Aided by representation from Pres
ident Harding's cabinet, federal and
state officials, university professors.
engineers, industrialists and civic
leaders, the Eye Sight Conservation
Council of America, with national
headquarters at 42nd street and
Broadway, New York City. has set in
motion a movement for the obser.
vance throughout the country of Eye
Sight Conservation Day in schools.
Defective vision among children
and workers in the industries has,
recent surveys in numerous towns and
cities have revealed, caused enormous
economic and physical losses, which,
authorities declare, can be wiped out
by proper and systematic application
OF the principles of eye hygiene.
With the cooperation, among other
leaders, of James j. Davis, secretary
OF the United States department OF
labor, Guy A. Henry, general direc.
tor of the eye sight conservation
council, is directing the campaign
which aims to accomplish vast saw
ings in health and money by carrying
the message First Health, Then Wis
DOM to every city and hamlet in
the land where children are taught.
Every school in Kentucky will be
asked to join in establishing the new
semiannuaI custom of eye sight con
servation day, planned as universal
and permanent contribution to the
American system of education.
The eye sight conservation council
is enlisting the assistance of commits
sioners of education in every state
and of superintendent in every coun
ty and school district. Kentucky
school officials have been provided
with complete eye sight conserva
ton day program. To execute this

Because they like II and be-
cause custom allows it. Every kiss
snder the mistletoe, however, is a kiss
which celebrates one Of the most
charming events in Christmas tradi-
tion.
The romance goes back to the days
Of the gods of Scandinavia, when Bal

the Spirit Of Evil, with an arrow Of
nistletoe. But his mother. Venus Of
the North, restored him to life by sa-
lutng with kisses all who passed be-
meath branch held aloft In her hand.
Thus II became AN emblem of love
and happy celebration. Ancient races
held the plant in great yeneration, par
ticulariy the Druids. who went in pro-
cession into the forests to collect it.
After New Years day 1t was dis
tributed among the people as sacred
and holy plant. If any part Of the
mistletoe touched the ground 1t was
regarded as an omen Of impending
evil.

Neither Side Would Give Out T erms of Proposition
 Offered Executives

Proposals, It Is Understood, Are in Nature of Being
 Gentlemen's Agreement

NEW YORK, Aug. 1S-(By the As sociated PreSS)-The five great rail road brotherhoods which have stepped into the nationwide shopmen's strike as mediators, today offered to the roads what they termed practical proposal for peace, and the roads took teh proposal under consideration. Neither side would officiaIy ais close the terms of the proposition. In some quarters close to the confer ees, it was said that acceptance of all strikers to their old jobs with full and unimpairde seniority and pension rights, in addition to the retention of men hired since the strike.
 The proposition, on the other hand, was outlined in other quarters as pro- viding for restoration of strikers as rapidly as possible, with their senior ity rights to be adjusted ultimately to the satisfaction of all.
 The proposition in these quarters was understood to be in the nature of a gentlemen's agreement, it was under stood. would provide that the question which will arise at the end of the busy fall season, would be handled as it has been in other according to the usual wedding out process. The whole plan, it was unofficiaIly indi- cated, would mean that without any apparent surrender by either the rail- roads or the shopcrafts, the strikers would not suffer any more in the long run than would be usual after an in dustrial struggle of this kind.
 A committee of nine executives, ap- pointed to meet the brotherhood off cials listened to this proposition, hast fly summoned general meeting of the representatives of 148 roads, which probably will be held here next Tues day, then fixed the next meeting with the mediation committee for next Wednesday in this city,

HOUSE LEADER
 WIRES AbSENT
 MEMBERS BACK
Will Begin Work at Once to Garry Out Harding's Pro-
 posal to Set Up Agency
MOVEMENT IS SECONDED
Some Leaders Not Prepared to Try Experiment After
 War Experiences

WASHINGTON, Aug 1S.-(By the Associated Press)-Republican lead, CTS in congress moved quickly to car. " out the more urgent recommends. tions made by President Harding to. day in his message On the industrial situation. Their eforts for the most part although. not in all, were second. ed by Democratic members.
 Representative Mondell, of Wyom. ing, Republican house leader, within an hour after the president concluded delivery of his address, had telegrams on the wires to absent members of the house interstate commerce commit tee, requesting them to return to Washington at once to begin work on bills to carry out the presidents re- cOmmendation for authorization to set up an agency to purchase, sell and distribute coal and for creation of a commission to ascertain the facts in the coal industry.
 The Republican leader, accompanied by speaker Gillette, later visited the White House and personally assured the president that legislation creating the fact-finding commission wiuld be introduced within a few days and proi bably passed by the house next week. Senate leaders also promised speedy action on this piece of legislation.
 House and senate leaders alike, however. expressed the opinion that the recommendation for a coal dis tribution commission and price con- trol agency could not be speedily car ried out. Some senators declared federal distribution and price control during the war had not been success full and they were not prepared to try the experiment again. .
 Other recommendation of the pres ident, such as legislation to put teeth in decisions of the railroad labor board and to accord federal protection to aliens, leaders said, could go over un- til the next session of congress.
 The determination of the president ito use all the powers of the govern ment to maintain transportations and sustain the right of men to work, , was almost universally approved by members of congress. The two Re publican leaders had this to say:
 Representative Mondell:
 "The president performed a real service in reiterating the determina- tion of the government to assist in all lawful ways the maintenance of or der and the preservation of the peo- ple's rights under the laws"
 Senator Lodge:
 'In the enforcement of the law and the protection of all men who wish to work and of the rights of the Ameri can people, he will certainly have my most earnest support and in my opin ion. the hearty support of congress and fthe American people,"
