School Boy Has Stronger
Eyes Than College Man

Tests of 42,275 students in twenty
two colleges and universities showed
hat 37.7 per cent we're suffering from
defective vision, according to report
ssued by the Eye Sight Conservation
Council Of America.
Defects varied from 1876 per cent
81 per cent, tending to show, it was
declared, that the, eye of the school,
boy is sharper than that Of the college
freshman.
"The result Of the survey conducted
by the council" says the announce
ment, indicate an increase in the
prevalence of defective vision among
university students.
These conclusions were all based
Gil simple visual acuity tests which
we're probably conducted more care
fully and thoroughly than similar tests
made in graded schools, and apply
principally to entering students.
ut is safe to assume that the de-
fects were graver at matriculatiop
than during the preparatory period,
during which undoubtedly they were
accentuated."

Worlds Fish Crop Is
Worth Billion Yearly

NEW YORK.-The fish crop of the
world approximates a billion dollars
a year in its cost to the final con-
sumner" Estimates Of the value Of
the fish landed in the principal coun-
tries of the world, supplied by the
United States fish commission to the
Trade Record OF the National City
Bank of New York, puts the worlds
total at the latest available date at
approximately $7S0,O00,000 per annum,
and If we add to this, says the Trade
Record, an estimate Of as per cent for
the cost of cold storage, transporta-
ton and the profits of the whole
salers and retailers, it is apparent
that the worlds fish bill approximates
a billion dollars year.
Most Of this $7S0,000,O00 worth of
fish landed annually by the fishermen
Of the world is the product of the
oceans. Even in the United States,
which, with its rivers and lakes, has
a larger supply Of fresh water than
most other countries, the value Of the
fish yield Of the Great Lakes and the
Mississippi River section aggregates
but s11,000,000 out of total of $780,
100000 reported by the fish commits
sion as the annual value to the fish
ermen" Of the fish landed in the en-
tire country, including Alaska.

FOR UNIFORM TESTS

The national board Of medical ex-
aminers was organized to establish a
standard Qualifying examination Of
such character that its certificate OF
qualification to practice medicine
would be accepted by medical licens-
ing boards in all states, and the holder
of this certificate be granted license
to practice without further examina-
ton To date its certificate is ac-
cepted by 20 states and territories and
several foreign countries The board
aims not only to safeguard and sim
plify the process Of determining those
who are qualified to practice medicine,
but to aid the medical colleges and
state authorities in promoting high
standards of medical education and
practice. Examinations are open only
to students of class A medical schools,
which automatically makes 1t impos-
sible for candidates with fake diplo-
mas to ecure Its certificate. and in
this way helps the state boards in
keeping out unqualified practitioners.
