Quality As Well

= Buying cars by the pound Is a
risky proposition unless quality is
also considered. You can buy one
model of one make for as low as 81
cents pound. It's a good car at
that, but at 81 cents a pound an
other car is a much better buy. Re
Guced to their cost per pound a
number of cars reveal great varia-
items. If you are wise in selecting
your car YOU will consider such
variations as indicative of varying
quality, and make an effort to see
whether the variation in quality is
real or fictitious.

A WRONG IDEA

There are many people who have {
wrong idea Of astigmatism-it is no
a disease, but an irregularity in the
curve Of the eye, and can be correct
ed only by specially ground glasses.
It's usual symptoms are headaches, Of
ten accompanied by a turning of the
head a little to one side in viewing
objects, and by squirting of the eyes
which causes permanent wrinkles on
the brow and about the eyes.
Astigmatism causes the eyes to
strain to see clearly. Eye-strains
mean headaches. Headaches mean in.
ability and nervousness Inability and
nervousness mean a crouch and a
crouch means pessimism-the world
is out of order TO YOU. We have
a number of cases on our books where
eye-strain has resulted in such q way
as above outlined and was entirely
cleared up and symptoms relieved by
the PROPER fitting of glasses.
Merely glasses before the eyes do
no good.
We have refitted hundreds of cases
where the old glasses that were being
worn were useless In relieving the de-
fects Of the eyes-were improperly fit
ted originally. For thorough eye
examination and RESULTS see DIR.

Under the bill, transfer from one
branch of the service to the other is
allowed. but that practice will not be
usual or frequent, department officials
say. The interchange was made pos
sible mainly because occasions arise
where the relations of the United
States with certain countries might
make the presence of a diplomat,

no ambassador or minister is formal

CULTURAL CHANCE WANTED BY SWEDEN
ScandinaVians Desire to EX. change Professors With J. s.

Stockholm, Oct, 3.--An increase in the number of Swedish professors visiting America. a new and genuine admiration of American work in various fields of scientific research, and attempts to effect closer co-ope- ration between science and educa- ton in Sweden and the United States is evidenced this year. Among the distinguished men of learning who have recently returned from visits in America are Df. Karls Petren, dia- betes specialist; Einar Key, surgeon: Professor Goesta Forssell, radlolog- ist; Professor Johnny Roosval, auth ority on art and architecture; Pro- lessor Carl Charlier, astronomer Of Lund University, and pr. o. Lund- berg, expert in folk lore and librar- ian at Upsala University.
 Each of these visitors in America has been Instrumental in promoting cooperation between the educational worlds of the United States and Swe- den, and all urge the establishment of regular exchange professorships between universities of the two countries. Professor Charier has taken steps to arrange cooperation between astronomers in Sweden and America, and Professor Roosval has already established an educational exchange Of stereopticon slides and other material to illustrate the his- tory of art.

EYE MISHAPS ARE
 DUE ID IGNORANCE
Organization Urges Education
 Along These Lines

New York, Oct. S.-The greatest possibilities for the elimination Of tho unnecessary eye hazards of in- dustrial occupations lie in educa- ton, according to the National Com mittee for the Prevention of Blind- ness, which has been studying the question of eye hazards over per- tod of two years. The committees labors have extended into practically every industry and every state In the union, and its report is docu- ment of 250 pages. There should be education of the state as to its moral and economic obligations" the report declares, education of the employer as to the desirability, from his own point of view. of sup plying adequate protection for the eyes of his employee; and education of the employe, particularly the old- fashioned and so-called hardboiled employe, as to the necessity of using that protection when 1t is provided.
 Some states do not yet require even the reporting of industrial &C., cidents. Others require such reports, but make no effort to set up safety standards of lighting and sanitation codes for the guidance or observaece of their industries"
 Discussing the necessity for edu- cation of the employer the commit tee says:
 Cheaper to Prevent.
 Many employers of labor still need 10 be convinced that it Is cheaper to prevent eye accidents than to pay for them; that it is false economy to use cheap goggles, or to have a group of workmen share one pair of goggles; that the wearing of goggles or other head protection in dangerous operations should be made an absolute condition of em- ployment. Except in comparatively few cases, the prevention of acci- dents is considered of secondary im- portance.
 The result of this situation Is that for every plant doing effective safety work hundred are shirking their responsibility. Indeed few employers are giving as serious at tention to accidents-their cost, the possibility of preventing them, and the profits which can be made through such preventive work, as to the cost of labor, raw materials, and other items in the manufacturing process"
 Developing the idea that it is cheaper to prevent accidents than to pay for them, the committee says:
 Committees Statement.
 The report growing out of the sur rey of waste in industry, which was conducted by the Federated Amer ican Engineering Societies, shows an estimated loss of 15s,0oo,oo0 days as the result of non-fatal accidents oc- curing in industry in one year. On the extremely conservative estimate of $1.50 a day as the average con- pensation paid to workmen for the time lost due to accidents, there is a loss to employers of $237, 900, 006 a year as the result of non-fatal ac- cidents alone. It is conservatively estimated, also, that eye accidents constitute 10 per cent of all non- fatal industrial accidents. On the basis of these estimates it appears that the loss to industry through eye accidents, is in excess of $23,O0o, 900 yearly. No employer or industrial manager who is aware of these facts

Americans Want the

Vienna. Oct. 3.--European musl- clans who have gained the impress sion that the United States Is a land of gold where art Is not fully appre- ciated and that much money can be obtained with little effort. recently were given some sound. but perhaps shocking, advice by Freda Hempel. who Is spending the summer on the continent.

AIDING HENS TO LAY
Electricity to Be Used in Alaska to Help Chickens Produce Eggs Dur
 ing the Long Night of Six Months.

Anchorage. Alaska. Oct. S.-The domestic hen in the interior of Alaska, accustomed to take a lay-off during the six months of night In winter, will have to do her steady shift at producing eggs, from all in- dications. Electricity bas come to the aid Of the Alaska poultry farm CT. By the aid of light and heated quarters hens are being made to lay at a time when in the past the egg supply hardly has paid for feed.
 Dairymen are constructing a type of chicken house with a basement in which a large air-tight heater Is located. The coop is wired with electricity, so that 1t may be lighted during the daylight" hours.
 With a market of 5S,O00 cases of eggs and prices ranging from 75 cents to s1.00 dozen in winter, the poultry industry promises to become one of the most remunerative in the government railroad belt.

Souvenir Hunters Steal
 World Court Insignia

The Hague, Oct. 3.--Even the hallowed precincts of Andrew Car negie's Peace Palace are not safe from the depredations of souvenir hunters, 1t seems, for it has become known that the presidential hammer has been stolen from the council table of the permanent court of ln- ternational justice.
 The hammer is artistically carved of ebony, and about 12 inches long. It was presented to the court by the senate of Leyden university in 1922.
 It has been missing since August 26, and information leading to its recovery is requested by the Hague chief of police.
