Poison Gas and Optic Nerve

1.-The Government will have the eyes Of
any veteran who applies for 1t examined,
this service being free, but unless the con-
ditiunS which | have mentioned exist, the
soldier must supply his own glasses,
zone of the most interesting things which
Is beginning to appear in the medical and
general welfare work among the veterans Is
tho possibility of the effect OF the various
poison gases used during the war upon the
optic nerve of the gasscd men.
"ThiS Is only theory as yet because the
use of gas in warfare Is so new that it may
take time, perhaps years. before the dcgen-
crativc effect of the gas on the optic nerve
will appear. For that matter. it may never
appear, but we are beginning to suspect that
tn" gaSScd man may possibly. even years
after the Government has rchablitated him
in other ways. show defects Of vision
through the influence Of the poison gases on
the optic nerve.
"Thc matter Of the optical condition of
the veterans is important psychologically.
Most of them before the war felt that they
were normal and sound. because nothing in
their peace time lives had centered attention
on their physical condition. and this was
frequently the case with their sight. They
could sec and that was all they thought
necessary.
but with the war came the necessity for
detailed physical examination both for enlist
ment and for discharge, and this, together
with the fact that during service they We're
in frequent contact with damaged men, both
mentally and physically, they became con-
scious of their defects. With the natural
human tendency to cXaggcrate these things
they found themselves handicapped by eye
strain, which, before the war. they had un-
sciousness of defects came also the desire to

TO FEEL STRIKE
At S. D. MINE
EXPECT COAL MEN At HAYNES
WILL QUIT WHEN NATIONAL
WALKOUT Is CALLED

Pierre, March pa South Dako-
ta's state owned coal mine stands in
a fair way to feel the effects of the
threatened miners strike and to
have work temporarily suspended,
according to E. o. Roush, superin-
tendent, who has been in Pierre this
week. While the men employed by
the state at the mine, Mr. Roush
says, are satisfied with their present
pay, hours and living conditions
they are practically all union men
and are affiliated with the western
group of miners in the national or
ganiaZtion, which has voted to go out
on April /. as protest to the action
of eastern operators i'm reducing the
wages without consulting the union
heads.
Until last fall the state owned mine
was operated on the open shop basis,
according to the superintendent, but
pressure was brought to bear by the
miners which made it necessary to
recognize the union.
In keeping with the times and the
general wage reductions in. progress
throughout the country in all
branches of work. wages at the state
mine will unquestionably be reduced
between now and next fall" Mr..
Roush declared in speaking of the
situation at the mine. IF this thing
must be settled il might just as well
be settled now and for good. be-
lieve we will be able to cope with
the situation at Haynes, but we will
go only as tar as public sentiment
demands"
Mr.. Roush said that the state mine
property is fenced and that if the
men are left unmolested there is
little possibility of trouble. How
ever, he declared, should outside in
fluences get to working among the
men, general feeling of dissatis-
faction might be stirred up which
would breed difficulty.
AT present there are about 40 men
employed at the mine which is load.

with the Egan campaign material
worn threadbare from constant re.
petition Mr.. McMaster energies the
general favorite of a large part OF
the states population.
The Egan boom lacks crispness,
staying qualities and finish that
might otherwise be the trump card
in the hot closing contest. Mr.
Egan's criticisms of the state admin
istration is purely and unquestion-
ably an effort to secure state job
not that the state needs Mr.. Egan
for governor, but because Mr.. Egan
is ambitious of employment that
throws him into the public limelight
position much coveted by him. In
other words, he wants the other fel-
lows job and sets up certain claims
to attain that end. He realizes as
well as eighty per cent. of the popu-
lation realize that there are no real
specific state issues, except the quail
ifications of the two men in the race
for the governorship and when com
parisons are made on that basis Mr.
Egan suffers from a difference OF
meritorious appraisal.
The democratic candidate, Mr..
Cr i'll stands in a peculiar relation TO
the shadings of other stripes of poll
tics. If it must be that McMaster
can not get the nomination, Egan
can be easily defeated at the next
election for the outstanding reason
that all republicans and democrats
who believe in dependable man for
governor will unite their strength,
repudiate Egan and throw the elec-
J ton to Mr.. Grill, who, to say the
least, is for more preferable than

banners yet attacking in toto re-

Mr.. Egan has big guess coming if
he thinks the people of South Da-
kota are going to reject Mr. McMas-
ter's and give him the reins. Moth
ing could be more preposterous or
ridiculous.
Each candidate has presented a
full line of arguments and the vot-
ers understand just what each
stands for. The press of the state
has analyzed everything offered TO
date and are pretty well convinced
of the worthiness and dependability
of each candidate and they do err far
in recognizing in w. H. McMastel

Watertown, March 24.-At meet
ing held here by boosters of the pro-
posed shortcut automobile highway
from the Twin Cities directly west
to Watertown across South Dakota
on an air line to the Black Hills,
and on westward to the Yellowstone
national park, a temporary organiza-
tion was perfected.
Permanent interstate officers and
directors are to be elected at the

tuition and bylaws adopted and the
route of the trail completed in de-
tail.
At the meeting representatives

City, Montevideo, Madison, Dawson
and Hutchinson, Mimi. A tempor-
ary board of directors was elected,
with one member form each town
ship in the two states represented at
the meeting.
During the informal discussions
the most popular suggested name for
the new highway was the Arrow
Trail, but this has not been adopted,
the naming of the trail being ieft
to the first annual meeting on June
first.
1t was agreed that east OF Water
town the new trail should extend
eastward on the Kranzberg road s
miles into Deuel. county, then north
on the King of Trails automobile
highway to Revillo. and east III mil
es to the South Dakota-Minnesota
boundary line, where a connection
will be made with the Minnesota

The new auto highway is expected
to become one of the most popular
for tourists in the northwest.
