Couzens entered public life. and has held one office
after another. each more important than the pre-
ceding one. His various successes as a public Off
cial are best attested by the fact that he
elected mayor Detroit last year by 10000 votes
the largest plurality ever given a mayoralty candi-
date fin Detroit
The outstanding feature of his acts as a public
executive has been the realization OF his aim Of
giving Detroit municipality owned transportation
system. and that city is the largest in the
United States which owns and operates its trans
portaton lines
No type of man has appeal to Americans
than that type Of which AHchigan's senator is
a prcemineut leader. Americans even in our gen
Grafton, have risen to the presidency from begin
nings remarkably similar to the rise Of Couzens
Cleveland. Roosevelt and Wilson laid their founda
tions for rational prominence in their ability as
executives in purely local affairs.
The fact that NBchigan's new senator is not

Canada-bars him as a presidential possibility But
that constitutional provision which prevents him
from emuiating the successes of other great Amer

The shape Of the eyeball is pre-
served by the presence inside the
globe of certain fctds. These fluids
are furnished in given amounts. and
they escape from the eyeball in
equal quantities. So long as the
inflow and escape are alike, the ten
sion of the eyebau is uniform.
Sometimes, for obscure and dis
puted reasons, there may be too
great a supply Of the liquids. Then
the drainage system is not capa bile

may be obstruction to the outlet,
and damming up OF the fluids with

In either case the eyebau becomes
harder and harder. as the fluid &C
cumulates within the globe. In an
advanced case the ball OF the eye
becomes almost stony hard.
Extreme symptoms are rarely
met until a long time after the ap-
pearance OF certain early signs Of
trouble. One OF the first symptoms
IS called halo vision" When the

When the supply of radium was so small. and
the demand for it so great shat the market price
was $4,000 gram, the Colorado producers were
justified rskipg their capital in the protest Of
producing this almost priceless mineral At that
prevailing Price radium could be produced in sufi-

covery Of a more plentiful source Of supply with
the consequent decrease in costs of production, AMI
the presence of competition among the workers Of
this source of supply forced the price down to

radium only under the newly developed conditions.
Under this new set of conditions. the market price
