Daylight saving is eycsight saving,
according to the California State
Association of OptometriStS, which
went on record yesterday. through
its president. Charles b. Hobrecht,
of san Francisco. rs warmly endors-
ing the enactment of statewide day
light legislation IN California.
In telegram received ut Los An

president Of the state association of

The advantages of daylight saw

tion of vision are 50 obvious, it Civ
Is me great pleasure on behalf of

OptometriSts to give it hearty en-
dorScmeut. No optometrist would
bc 50 narrow and selfish as to de-
p'ivc the public of its benefits.
Commenting on the advantages Of
daylight saving, Vice President
Marshutz said:
" Daylight at its worst is more
desirable for the eve at times than
artificial lighting at its best. The
common faults present i'll nearly
every lighting arrangement, glare,
unequal distribution OF light, and
lack Of uniformity of light intensi-
ties, are seldom found when natural
Eight is employed. Glare is the
worst offcnse committed by our at

is easily avoided when daylight is
used. -
Marshutz called attention to the
report of the national committee for
the prevention of blindness on Eye
Hazards in Industrial Occupations, =
which says:
.'It would be fortunate for all
mankind if all work could be done
under daylight illumination, the
ideal light for the eyes. Hence every
effort should be made to use day
