Daily Health Hint
SAVING YOUR EYEsIGHT.

II you want to save your eyes
Don't overlook the "don'ts" of Miss
Gertrude Thompson, young Cleveland
school teacher.
With Robert B. Irwin, who is totally
blind, she is teaching teachers how to
conserve the sight of children. This
course, the first of its kind, is being
conducted at the Summer School of
Columbia University here.
"More than 25,o0o,0o0 of the A.
100000 gainfully employed in this
country" says Miss Thompson, "are
handicapped by defective vision.
"And the situation is steadily get
ting worse.
"Yet few simple precautions, taken
in time, will check this condition.

oped system of educating the sight

up all over the country. AS rami-

THE VALUE OF A BOY.

It's pretty hard, just offhand to estimate boy
values. Boys make men and the boys of today
are either the real men or the buns of tomor-
row. A crop Of boys comes on every year and
the development of them is regular thing for
the men and women who are tied to them by
relationship of blood and other, men and women
who are related to them on account of the fact
that they are going to determine the future of
the community. The annual crop of boys
just like any other crop needs tending. The
important thing with any crop is to get the
weeds out Of it and give it chance to grow
and it's just about the same with the annual
crop of boys.
The farmers of Kenosha county who paid no
more attention to their crops than the city of
Kenosha pays to its crop of boys, year after
year. would not expect to get much of har-
vest. The weeds would probably eat up what
there was of the grain, the corn would be short
and good only to be ground up and put in the
silos, and the potatoes would be eaten up by
the bugs.
It seems hard to get Kenosha to recognize the

NO CHANCE
BY BERTON BRALEY

You can't live your own life Il

Nor color and tone life.
To meet your own views;
Your play and your iabors
Affect all your neighbors
Wherever you happen to stay;
And Tom, Dick and Harry
And Sue, Jane and Mary
Won't quite let you have your own
way;
And also their mothers,
And ten thousand others
Have something to say,
Fate gives you no permit
To live as you will;
Why, even hermit
Has rules to fulfill
And with your location
In civilization
Unless you are blind you will see,
That Tom, Dick and Harry
And Sue, Jane and Mary
Have views that with yours don't
sgree;
And they and their brothers,
Dads, sisters and mothers
And ten million others
Won't let you be free
