very bright light which shines d.

and more unpleasant as the light
stands out with greater contrast to
the darkness of the background.
Lights for use in the home have

more light and We're much brighter
than anything we had before.
A bright light burning outdoors in
the day might not even be noticed
and it would not cause glare because
there would not be enough difference
between the brightness of the light
and the brightness of the daylight.
However, at night this same light
would be quite disagreeable and it

THE PROPER USE OF LIGHT

Have you ever gone into room at
night and felt that there was too
much light in the room? Perhaps it
was because you came in out of the
dark, and your eyes We're dazzlei
by the light. If this feeling OF daz-
zle persisted, there was surely some-
thing wrong with the lights.
1t was not too much light, how
ever. For in that room there was
certainly not more than one one-hun-
dredth part of the light that we find
during clear day on the shady side
of tree or building. Nor one five
hundredth part of what we are ac-
customed TO find in the bright sun
light. Surely, then, the trouble in that
room was. not too much light!

might not be very good for our eyes.
In order TO protect our eyes, all
lamp bulbs should be shaded in such
"a way that We cannot see the lighted
filament or wire inside the bulb and
so that we do not even see very
bright spot in the shade directly in
front OF this lighted filament. When
lights are shaded in this way, IL il
hardly possible to get too much light
for comfortable vision. Sometimes
the use of frosted bulbs will help to
remove annoying glare. ..aa# ,a
Whenever you hear someone say
that there is too much light in a
room, it is safe to say the real trouble
is not too much light, but rather that
here is too much dazzle and glare

Tom DObsOn
at It Again
(Editorial)

TON DOBSON, retiring county commissioner is at
Il IL again.
Dobson is striving nightly TO have a hand in NAM
ing the successor TO Prosecutor Malcolm Douglas who
becomes superior judge on January r.
The appointment is up to the board Of commission
crs. Any two Of the three members make II.
Dobson and Commissioner Gaines, who always have
played hand-inhand announced TO friends today that
they have agreed man for the place. They will
try TO get Prosecutor Douglas To resign 50 that
the appointment can be made.
William Brown, commissoncr-eect, takes issue
with Dobson on many things. Among them is man
for the prosecutors job
Browns friends just day or two ago, charged
that Dobson is rushing thru purchases of machinery
which will have TO be paid for out Of the 1925 budget
money that should rightfully be administered by
the new commissioner.
A ND now Dobson is trying TO make political APP
n pontments that rightfulIy belong to his sue
cessor.
The new prosecutor will have to work with the
board of commissioners and handle their business for
the next two years. In order that this business may
be efficiently handled he will have to work IN har-
mony with the board.
The only way to attain this harmony and cooper
alton is to allow Douglas successor to be named by
the board of commissioners.
And the only way to prevent the politicians from
turning the trick they plan is for Prosecutor Douglas
to stay on the job until the new board comes into
office. The Star urges him to do this.
MO retiring politician should be permitted to award
~ political plum-as payment for political debt
or for any other reason-ust as he is about to step
out of office and will longer be accountable to the
public for his acts.
And if Chairman Gaines insists on going thru with
this program with Dobson, he should be made to feel
that he is opposing the wishes of public that wants
to see harmony restored in county affairs.

son is MA in-590O Call them up today and tell
