season.
The first three weeks of ST. Louis
operate productions were given over
to Victor Herberts EILEEN" which
drew $4,000 people: Victor Herbert's
1.-THE Red Mill" which was attended
by $4,000; and Oscar. Straus' 1.-The
Chocolate Soldier" for which the
attendance leaped to 81 900.
That municipal opera has become
a recognized factor in st. Louis
Summer life is further shown by the
fact that twice as many attended tho
1926 performances Of THE Chocolate
Soldier" 3 when 1t was first pre-
scented in the Forest Park Theater
in 1921.
Part of the excellent showing made
by Straus' operetta is due, however
to the purchase of all seats for one
night by the Alhambra Grotto Proph-
cts who attended the performance

Far-Sighted Eyes.

A COMMON error concerning the
eyes is, that il the child can see
clearly, his eyes are all right and are
fit for school wook without glasses.
Far-sightedness unless of unusually
high degree, allows clear vision a.
near and distant points
A far-sishted eye may be able to
see perfectly at six inches, and an eve
with perfect focus can he made to do
so at four inches. Either distance is
closer to the eye than objects that
are looked at for more than an instant
should be held. But the far-sighted
eye sees clearly only by making an
extra effort. 1t has 10 work just as
/ hard to focus at six inches as the
perfectly focused eye does at four. Il
is 1ar-sighted. not in the sense that
| 1t can see things farther away than
The perfectly focused eve, but in the
/ sense that II is more handicapped for
near seeing than for seeing at a dis
lance. Even for seeing at q distance
it has to keep up the focusing effort.
and II has to keep up the focusing
effort even at a time when the eye
| with perfect focus, or the eye with it's
correcting glass. can relax entirely.
says the Hygeia.
Even if the defect Of focus Of the
far-sighted eye is not very great, the
constant need to make up for ii Is .
cause OF nerve strain that frequently
results in headache. If astigmatism
Is added 10 far sightedneSs, an add
uonal strain is caused.
Uncorrected far-sight. with or with
out aStigmatism, is often the origin Of
dlstaste for reading and other school
work. The healthy child does not like
TO be punished by eyestrain and. with
out thinking much about what his sen
sations are, he avoids instinctively
those sensations which are unpleasant.
This may cause his entire education to
be failure. but it does save his eyes
and nervous system from harm. If
the instinct is the only safeguard af-
forded, nature falls back on it even
at the cost of sacrificing educational
opportunities. The boy who will not
study is sometimes nearer right than
are parents or school authorities who
will NOT have his eyes examined t.
see if glasses are needed

the golden age for coal commenced
about 1873 with the completion of
several important railroad lines into
the coal fields which opened the New
River, Pocahontas, and other we'll
known sections 10 the worlds use.
The same old problems of capital
and labor that have in part frustra ted
the commercial efforts of huma nifty
for centuries have been present in
the coal mining industry to a degree
even more noticeable than in most
forms of business. BY its very nature
the work quickly became an enter
prise requiring the use of thousands
OF mon. The ordinary industrial re-
lations between this vast army of
workers and their employers has often
heen-aS it is at preSent-interrupte
by a form of commercial warfare
known as a strike, and a history of
such conflicts would involve practi-
cally every colliery in the country, for
nearly all of them have had their
share of labor troubles. With few ex-
ceptions, all strikes, like the present
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1926-01-17

one, have been precipitated principally
over the question Of wages.
1t was so with the first important
one in the anthracite fields of Amer
lea. The original strike Of which we
have any record occurred in the
Schuylkill region in l849, lasted sev.
eral weeks, and involved about 5000
men. In the preceding year a Mr..
Bates had organized the Bates Union
among the miners OF that section, and
1t was this Orga niZatiCn that quit
work in May, 1S49. one of the resoIu-
tons passed by the men at a public
meeting was: That We have learned
/, m Divine Providence that the la
borer is worthy of his hire" and on
the strength of that knowledge the
miners sought an increase in salary
Their strike was accompanied by VIC
ience, and was partially successful,
resulting in a compromise agreement
with the operators.
The Bates Union passed out OF
existence the following year when its
president left for parts unknown. The
union had paid him S12 a week 10 act
as field agent
During the Civil War, as in the
recent World War, the price Of coal
scared. In 1862 a ton OF anthracite
could be purchased in Philadelphia
for S2.1S; by 1864 the cost OF a ton
had risen to s10.75. Wages necessa-
rily increased during that period
which was notably free from strikes
The next period of conflict began
about 1868, with the miners banded
together in the Workingmen' Benevo-
lent Association. From then on the
coal men have never been without 2
union of some sort, although at times
their organization has been Inadequate
fully TO defend their rights. Their as
sociations have been OF inestimahle
value 10 the workers, for, with one ex-
ception. every strike Of any impor-
lance in the history Of the anthracite
industry has been sponsored by a
labor organization. The one exception
was the suspension Of 1877. caused BY
the widespread railroad strike. which
made it impossible to work the mines.
and the men used their enforced idle
ness TO add a list of grievances against
their employers. Having no powerful
organization to enforce their claims.
however, all their demands were re-
fused
