them to come and see him at his office

visit, she testified, Richard gave them a

Aided by representation from Presi- dent Harding's cabinet, federal and state officials. university professors, engineers, industrialists and civic leaders the Eyesight Conservation Council of America, with national Headquarters at 42 Street and Broad way, New York city, has set in motion movement for the observance throughout the country of eyesight conservation day in the schools.
 Defective vision among children and workers in the industries has, recent surveys in numerous towns and cities have revealed, caused enormous cco- Isomic and physical losses, which, au- thorities declare, can be wiped out by proper and systematic application of the principles of eye hygiene.

 Every school in Connecticut will be asked to join in establishing the new semi-annual custom of eyesight con- servation day, planned as universal and permanent contribution to the American system of education.
 Holmes to Assist
 The eyesight conservation council is enlisting the assistance of commits sioners of educatioN in every state, and of superintendents in every coun- ty and school district. Connecticut school officials have been provided with a complete eyesight conserva- ton day program. To execute this plan A. B. Meredith of Hartford, state commissioner of education, and local superintendents throughout the state will cooperate in the eyesight conservation day movement, including Thomas s. Weaver of Hartford, AL fred F. Howes of Manchester, Stanley H. Holmes of New Britain, Edward B. Sellew of Middletown, B. R. Show alter of Berlin, Percival S. Barnes of East Hartford, W. Fl.

to determine the degree of deficiency it is stated in the suggested program which the eyesight conservation coun- cil is taking up with the Connecticut officials.
 Semi-Annual Obscr, ance
 "Eyesight conservation day should be observed semi annually, shortly after the beginning of each school semester. and should be an integral part of the general school program. On this day the educational program should be omitted until the tests and observations have been completed"
 Every teacher in the country, ac- cording to the council, is potential crusader for better vision. Teachers everywhere are being given instruc- tions for testing visual acuity. Suc- cess of the movement. according to it's sponsors, will mean definite phy- sical advance in future generations of Americans.
 Leading universities are taking up eye conservation. Columbia was the first to make it part of it's regular summer school curriculum, and the results attained were so satisfactory that the course will be continued. The University of Chicago, New York university, Ohio State university Teachers college, Columbia, and the College of the City of New York have, through members of their fac ulties, identified themselves with the movement.

SACRIFICING TOWNS TREES
Says They Are Being Cut For
Fuel Only

Editor Reflector: Today l passed
residence In front Of which II hug
shade tree was being cut down. The
tree was an elm and solid to the
center. II was situated so as to give
ample shade but In place where
1t could not possibly have darkened
room In the house which stood
near It. The man cutting 1t down
told me that the women who had
employed hm wanted It for fire wood
but he declared that the wood would
cost her more by the time 1t had
been sawed up to fit the furnace than
coal which lasted an equal time.
The wood d-cutter declared that he
had cut down numerous other shade
trees in Abilene for the same pur.
pose, where the trees were as solid
as could be and where there was no
other reason In the world to cut
them but to burn them.
Abilene has long been known for
its beautiful trees and 1t seems time
that those who love them took steps
to see that they are saved. All the
trees In Abilene have been planted
and many have been cared for and
tended at great effort, by the early
settlers who changed our city from
a barren prairie town to one noted
In the state for It's beauty. In the
early days 1t was not unusual to start
a few trees and then have cattle
break loose and trample them or have
them wither during the hot summer
and be obliged to try again to start
them the year after and then go
through the same experience, some-
times meaning three or four years
lust to start tree. To the peopre
who have been here for years and
remember somewhat Of the struggle
it meant to grow things In the early
days here feel the loss OF an old
friend when they see great tree
cut down. Our trees contribute
much to our civic beauty and we
need them. Let us not sacrifice
needlessly the products Of years OF
growth, at least without replacing
them with new material.-A CLUB

RECORD IN HUNTING LICENSES
More Than Double Usual Number
Not So With the Marriage Kind

II. w. King, county clerk. has
issued more than double the number
Of hunting licenses this season that
have been issued in any previous
season in Dickinson county. There
were OFT hunting licenses issued In
1921 and 70 trapping licenses. This
was the first year in which trapping
licenses were required.
Apparently all the business in
licenses is being done on the north
side of the court house where hunt
ing licenses, automobile licenses and
dog licenses are obtained. The office
lust across the hall, the probate
Judges office where marriage H.
censes are obtained, seems to have
lost its usual popularity. 1t may be
that one must have a hunting license
before he gets a marriage license but
IL that is the case most Of the people
around here aren't in hurry to take
out their second papers. Only nine
marriage licenses were issued during
December and the first six days In
January have brought forth but one.
Mrs. Jessie Beeghly, clerk for Judge
Anderson, has made the office as at
tractive as possible with blooming
plants in the windows and a welcom-
ing smile for everybody, but still
there remains slump in the de-
mand for the. licenses which are on
sale there. Judge Anderson even
goes SO far as to explain that the
licenses he carries are worth more
than those obtainable across the han
in that they last life time.

WHO. FOR COMMISSIONER
Talk Of City Election Starts-H. W.
Rohrer Would Please

The city election is coming In
about eleven weeks and the talk Of
who Is to be the next commission
er of finance is already starting. Pau
H. Roger, who has served Tor three
years, has announced that he Will moi
be a candidate for reelection. He
has made one Of the best city OIL
cials the town ever knew and his
department has been managed with
an exactness and fidelity that has
won the admiration Of all. He has
also shown an active and personal
interest In every good movement for
the city and has given the position
the same service he would his own
affairs. But he will not be can
diate-though he could be reelected
unanimously.
In the discussion the name most
frequently mentioned for the position
is that of H. w. Rohrer, cashier OF
the Farmers National Bank. Mr..
Rohrer is one of the up and coming
young business men OF the CITY,
active in the welfare Of the COM
munity and grown up here. He Is
especially fitted for the financial end
of the city affairs and his selection
would mean acurate and efficient
service. In addition, his election
would recognize the service men, ne
having served with distinction In
the World War, coming out a
captain. 1t would be mighty
fine thing to elect him without oppo-
sitoin and the city would have very
capable commissioner.
