A Boston reporter finds that a
fourth of the people who pass him
on the streets wear spectacles. Dis
regarding the myth that the avers ge
of intelligence and culture is higher
'in Boston than in other cities, It's
reasonable to assume that BcstO-
ians don't use their eyes any more
than other metropolitians,. And,
accordingly, that the Boston stats
tics hold good approximately for the
whole country.
One peorson in every four wears
glasses.
Probably half the people who
really need glasses wear them.
Net result: One American in
every two has defective eyesight.

Christopher Columbus

Four hundred and thirty-two
years ego came the turning point
in civilization and government
And so, tomorrow October
II, the world celebrates the dis
covery of America by Chris
topher Columbus.
Christopher Columbus prob
ably has been honoled with a
greater number of memorials
than any other character of his
tory.
Italy, the land of his birth, is
dotted with monuments of him,
the statue in Genoa being the
most noteworthy.
In Spain. the land to which
he owed most of his achieve
ments, there are many cities
named after him, and the CO.
lumbus monuments in Madrid
and Barcelona are among the
finest in the Spanish kingdom.
However, the western hem
isphere has done most to honor
the great navigator memory.
Almost every capital city from
Cape Horn to the arctic circle
can show one or more statues of
Columbus.
At least one city is named aft
er him in every South American
country.
Practically every one of our
states has a town, or a county,
or both named after Columbus.
The national capital is located
in the District of Columbia, and
Columbus, Columbia. Columbi-
ana are among the commonest
names on the map.
Most of the statues of Column
are of two distinct types-those
of the Italian school, copies or
limitations Of the celebrated Ge-
noa statue, and those Of a more
realistic sort.
One of the outstanding Co.
lumbus monuments in the city
of Washington is erected direct
ly in front of the Union Station.
1t is a marble fountain and
shows Columbus enveloped in a
cloak. AT his back in a Globe
thanked by symbolic eagles, and
before him is the prov of a
ship.
The whole work is executed
in pure white marble and it de-
servedly ranks among the mas.
terpieces that have been ex.
ecuted in memory of Columbus.
The fearless Italian naviga-
tor set out in search of a short
cut route to India, by way of
the westward ocean. What he
really discovered was much
more than a new continent, for
as he landed on the Island Of
Guanahani, West Indies, he
opened the door of the land that
made government by the people
possible.
True, the early explorers of
America were lured by gold,
but it was refugees from Euro
pean political oppression that
built the foundations of the
mighty civilization that has ris-
en- on the American continent.
lnnumerable millions enjoy,
in their liberties and their hap
piness, the fruits of Christopher
Columbus faith. Continents
are his real Monuments

Are we becoming a nation with
bad eyes? No other conclusion is
plausible when you contemplate the
increasing number who have to wear
spectacles.
There are three causes for this;
FIRST: Our generation uses its
eyes while working much more thaa
the old timers who worked largely
with their hands. The army of -leri-
cal employees has become bewil-
dering multitude, straining their
optics. Manufacturing has shifted
from crude to the delicate and skill,
ed, with further strain on sight.
SECOND: The average Ameri-
can reads more in a day than his
great-grandfather in a month.
THIRD: Pickering m owl s

FATAL

A fourth of the fatal accidents in

Motocars kill twice as many as rail

Nearly all auto accidents are due
to carelessness, either of driver or

Pleading for caution isn't effoc-

speeders of licenses is one core.
Others are examinations for eye
