Very often when children begin
to go to school eye troubles begin
TO crop up. We notice how many
0 children wear y glasses than
used to. This does not mean that
the present generation has more eye
troubles. but hat we are quicker 10
recognize, and hasten to help them.
Many older people viii admit that
they went through their school days
without half seeing what went on
and making their school work much
more difficult. Children are accused
of stupidity when it is the parents
who are stupid because they do not
realize that all the child needs is
glasses. II the child complains Of
headache. or has a poor appetites
and is slightly nauseated al meal
times, and finds reading or school
work a terrible bore and drudgerys
it is a very good idea to look into
the condition of his eyes.

NEW YORK-One way to put a

way to get the club ONE back of
a measure is to have Helen Varick
Boswell at the head of it.
That's why she was selected to be
chairman of the woman's committee
of the new "non-theatrical' motion
picture company, whose object Is to
be a clearing house for the motion
picture industry, and a permanent
movie library to contain the classics
of 1lmdom. She is organizing club
women throughout the country TO
cooperate in the matter.
Most of u.s." she explains, have
some idea of the entertainment value
of pictures, but few of us realize
the tremendous educational value of
them. This Is the end l am inter-
ested in.
There are today 100000 places,
including churches, clubs and
schools, where motion pictures may
be shown, and those shown should
be the very best because they reach
the most impressionable spectators
THE most wonderful educational
pictures are being made today. But
they reach too few pepole merely
because they are not exploited By
| the big companies.

High Cost of Upkeep

Here's the newest beauty recipes:
To remain beautiful eat an onion,
half a pound of cabbage or spinach.
half a grated turnip and a handful
of cranberries daily.
The promulgator of this short cut
to feminine pulchritude is a home
economies lecturer. 1t sound pretty
good to us, only We wish she hadn't
slipped in that joker, ito remain
beautiful"
Almost anybody who Is already
blessed with a face and figure of an
Aphrodite can manage to remain in
a state of perfect thirty-sixedness.
What most of us want is a magic
formula for becoming beautiful.
Transferring beauty-shop rites to
the grocery store is an idea worth
considering, however.
The recipe, which resembles direc-
tons for making vegetable soup,
may be worth a tryout. 1t sounds
like a bargain.
The humble onion, which in most
cases should be seen and not smelled,
arises to a place of importance in
this team of cause and effect.
For centuries women have placed
their faith in "plastered-on' meth
| DDS of beauty culture. Results are
quicker, for one thing.
A portable complexion, purchased
! at ones favorite drug store, is much
more readily obtained than the nat
ural effect produced by a fve-mile
hike into the country. And a really
good job of facial frescoing Is as
worthy of due appreciation as any
other work of art.
A boost for ones looks from the
old man, though, perks up ones ap-
pearance nightly = particularly
when accompanied by an endow-
ment check for a new outfit.
It's not the initial cost of beauty
but the upkeep that counts.

TO BE ORGANIZED
Meeting Will be Held in Pleas

Evening at 8 o'clock.
LARGE ATTENDANCE EXPECTED.

This Wednesday evening, at the

organized the Atlantic County Cham
Der of Commerce. The organization
will embrace delegates from Cham
bers of Commerce of Absecon, Pleas
a%ntville, Linwood, Somers Point, At

City, Longport, Mays Landing, Egg

es of this meeting were sent out re-

represented by three delegates, who
will meet with the Secretaries of the
Pleasantville, Absecon, Linwood and
Somers Point Chambers and proceed
to elect the County Chamber officers
and frame bylaws for the organiza-
tons government.
Pleasantville Chamber will be rep
resented by its Secretary, James B.
Adams, and the following delegates:
John w. Kirkbride, John S. Weaver
and Robert L. Race.
The organization of a County Cham
Der of Commerce follows several joint
meetings which have been held by
mainland Chambers for the past four
months to consider questions that in.
terest the several municipalities joint
ly. 1t was found hat there were so
many matters in common that it vas
deemed advisable to have an organi-
cation formed to represent the entire
county in dealing with the many pub
lie matters that demand attention
from time to time. AS Ocean City is
so situated that is is interested in ma
ny of the matters that concern Allan
tic County, it is likely that an invita-.
ton will be extended to the Chamber
Of Commerce of that city to unite with
the Atlantic County Chamber.
After permanent organization the
County Chamber will act in all mat
ters that heretofore had to be taken
up separately by the different Cham
bers through correspondence and per
sonal solicitation. Much time will be
saved thereby.
