1000 in the two eyes. The structures
of these lenses are we'll known, the
optical part Of each consisting of two
lenses which, combined, form a double
convex lens. That each lens acts as a
separate eye can easily be proved by
detachtng the whole of the front of the
compound eye. and by manipulation
with microscope 1t is not difficult to
examine a photograph or other oh
jeCt through 1t. When this is done a
distinct image is seen in each lens.
Carpenter has shown that each lens
reflects but a small portion of the
image looked at, and that 1t requires
the combined action OF the 1000
lenses or the fly to produce the same
effect as that seen by one human eye.
The human eye is, therefore, a more
perfect optical instrument than the
eye Of the fly.
Scientists. who have given consider
able attention to the investigation OF
compound eyes, have formed no opin-
ion that would lead to the conclusion
that their power of vision with respect
to small objects exceed. that of the
simple eyes of the higher animals. The
images of objects formed In the sepa-
rate lenses composing the compound
eye are proportionately small. and the
question whether insects can see
smaller objects than animals furnished
with single eyes is not a question OF
optics, but of the sensitiveness or the
optic nerve Id, consequently, mat

Limits of Vision

COME curious observations have
been made on the distinctness of
perception, in eyesight, and on the linn
its of 1t, comparing other senses with
the sense OF vision, and human eve.
sight with the eyesight of insects. The
drift of the inquiry has been simply
to ascertain how near together we can
place two objects and still see them
distinctly as two.
Placed very near together they an
pear to become one. A specialist has
claimed that he can with the unaided
eye distinguish lines ruled in glass
that are only $50, ,000th OF an inch
apart, but lie Conte has limited the
power of the eye to distinguish lines
to IL ,000th of an inch. To show how
immensely superior is the sense Of
sight in defining single things, one can
with 1t. The two points of a pair of
compasses placed three inches apart
on the least sensitive parts of the body
will be felt as a single prick.
With the aid of the microscope the
human eye can discern single objects
whose diameter is only about 1.10S,
000th of an inch. 1t has been said that
the eye of fly can distinguish an OBJ.

are nine men in the White House
Secret Service squad, but last Sum
mer two operatives were added for the
Summer assignment, and 1t is thought
likely that this will be the case this
coming Summer. The Secret Service
outfit viii be in the charge Of Richard
Jeryis, who has been a guardian of
Presidents since early in Taft's ad-
ministration and who has been chief
Of the White House force for 10 years.
Jervis' principal assistant is Col. Ed.
ward w. Startling of Kentucky, who
came into considerable national promi-
nence earlier in the year, when he
was sent to Amherst TO act as com.
panion and guardian to the Presidents 6
son John, who is a junior at that
college. Col. Starting is a great lover
Of the outdoors and Is noted for his
skill as a fisherman and hunter. He
is credited with having had consider
able to do with the Presidents acquir-
ing interest in fishing last Summer.
The Colonel is hopeful of arousing the
Presidents interest this Summer in
the rife and gun.
In the official vacation party also
will be Col. Blanton Winship, II. S. A.,
who will, on the first of next month
succeed Col. S. A Cheney as chief
military aide to the President. and
Capt. Wilson Brown, u. s. N, com.

be six in the vacation party. Francis
Robinson, chief chauffeur, who drives
the Presidents car. has been driving
Presidents since Mr.. Taft's first year
In the White House. B. Miller drives
Mrs. Coolidge's car, Charles White
drives the Presidents secretary, AL
bert Peck and Charles Fredericks al.
ternate driving the Secret Service
car and George Diggs drives the
truck used in transporting packages
and supplies.
With the exception of possibly one
or two Secret Service men, none of
these members of the official party will
be housed with the President or on the
grounds Immediately surrounding the
Summer White House. The chauf-
feurs. will, very likely, find sleeping
quarters in the garage. All of the
others must have quarters. 1t has
been the custom of these men to be
accompanied by their wives and, some
times, other members of their families,
thereby adding to the housing problem.
Besides these members of the official
party there will be IL or is servants
and personal attendants. Last Sum-
mer these members Of the outfit were
quartered in buildings in the Presi-
dents camp, and it is likely they will
be housed with the President or in
buildings adjacent this Summer
These employees will be in charge of
Miss Ellen Riley of Boston, chief
housekeeper at the White House. Be
fore coming to the White House. more
than a year ago, she was in charge of
the cafeteria in the department store
I'm Boston of Frank w. Stearns, init
mate friend of the President and Mrs.
Coolidge. AS housekeeper Miss Riley
has supervision not only of the house
hold servants and attendants, but Of
the purchasing of supplies and foods.
Among the attendants will be Talbot
Bowling, valet to the President; John
Mays, doorman and barber; George
Green. principal butler: Catherine
Buckly, head cook, and Catherine
Wynne, personal maid TO Mrs. Cool
idge. Besides these there will be an
assistant cook, a kitchen servant, a
housemaid, a houseman and two as
sistant buffers and doormen,
None Of the White House gardeners
are taken on the Summer outings.
The gardeners on the estates taken by
the President for the Summer are re-
tanned in their positions to care for
the flowers and lawns. Neither are the
White House laundresses taken away
1t has been the custom of the Coolidges
while on their Summer outings to ship
their personal and household laundry
back to the White House in Washing
ton to be washed and ironed and then
reshipped to the Summer White House.
The newspaper correspondents and
news photographers and movie men
assigned to the Summer Capital are
generally quartered In some hotel
conveniently located. In the Adiron-
dacks last Summer these men, as
well as virtualiy all of the Presidents

Next to the question of housing.
the most important point incident
to setting up a Summer White House
is the matter Of distance from Wash
ington, train and road facilities, and
the question offs direct telephone and
telegraphic communication with the
Capital Communication is looked
upon as being Of vital Importance.
The President may hide himself far
away in some remote woods, but at
the same time he must be in close
touch with the seat of government.
1t is essential to provide adequate
facilities for him to communicate with
his cabinet or other Government off,
cials without delay or inconvenience.
There is, also. the necessity Of pro.
yiding telegraph and telephone facili-
ties for the many newspaper cores
pondents who will cover the presi-
dents activities during his period Of
rest and recreation. These men, who
will keep the world informed daily of
all that goes on about the Presidents
Summer capital, are classed as being
in the presidential party and from
experiences of the past, Mr.. Coolidge
will insist that their assignment be
made as attractive and as easy as is
possible.
Mr.. Coolidge does not look upon
newspaper men as necessary evils, :"
as do many men In high public life.
He considers them as being necessary.
However, he has never underestimated
the Importance Of the office of Presi.
dent Of the United States, and he
therefore realizes that it is the Office
Of President that attracts the news
paper correspondents, and not he
personally.
Not only has President Coolidge
also shown a disposition to be as help.
full as possible in furnishing copy"
to the correspondents, but he has di-
rected every one in his official outfit
to do likewise. lie viii want to
see the correspondents comfortably
housed, as near his Summer home as
is considered practical and agreeable
| to all concerned.
At Paul Smiths, where President
| Coolidge spent his vacation last Sum
mer, he was very accessible to the
newspaper men. he gave them a
/ large room in the executive Office
| where they could write or else loaf
while awaiting developments. The
newspaper telegraph wires were set
up at a point scarcely two blocks
away from the executive Office, and
| President Coolidge has indicated that
| he wants the newspaper wire connec-
tions to be just as handy this year.
The question of telephone and tele-
graph wires for the Summer White
| House is given such prominence in
arranging the details for this shifting
| Of the Capital. because Mr.. Coolidge
never puts aside entirely his official
| duties, even though he is supposed to
| be away for rest and quiet and recrea-
| ton. Strictly speaking, his going
away for the Summer Is not actually
| a vacation. He insists upon devoting
at least half of his day to the Govern.

~ NE would think that when the
time arrived for the President
Of the United States to decide
where he and the members Of
his family are going TO spend
the Summer months he could go when
and where he really desires to go, and
that he could dispose Of the matter Of
a decision in very short time and
without seeking the advice and coun-
sci Of a lot of others.
But the office Of President does not
permit such freedom Of action. More
over the Executive of this Union Of
States rarely has an opportunity to
map cut his own time and pleasures
according TO his own individual wishes.
Selection by the President Of nice,
cool, quiet and secluded spot for his
vacation and the setting up of a tenn
porary White House for the Summer
period is no easy task. In fact, it is
8 greatly involved and difficult one.
President Coolidge frankly admits
that he will be glad and considerably
relieved when this problem has been
disposed of and he and those Of his
immediate household and the many
others who are to be with him are
comfortably settled for the 10 or Il
weeks he will be away from the heat
OF Washington.
He has been wrestling with this
rroblen, more or less seriously, for a
number of weeks. 1t is the same old
tough Job every Spring, and We're it
nor for the fact that he feels that he
and Mrs Coolidge should have real
change Of air and scenery he would
be inclined to stay right here in Wash.

tha ulVsence Of the writer afterWard
that they enjoyed themselves and suf-
sared no discomfort because Of the
heat.
The President, however, believes
everybody should have change OF
cir and scenery at least once a year,
and it Is because Of this principle that
he takes his vacation away from the
National Capital.

are concerned. they would have no
difficulty in making a selection OF
some spot. but. unfortunately, the
office Of President does not make 1t
possible 10 solve problems, whether
they are large or small, so easily.
There is much to be taken into
consideration in the selection Of a
vacation spot besides the personal
wishes and comforts OF the President
and the First Lady Of the Land.
Experience has shown that the
difficulty arises principally from the
fact that the likes. the comforts and
convenlences OF so many other people,
closely and officially associated with
the White House must be taken into
consideration. All Of these people
must be properly housed. and the cost
OF living for them while serving the
President on his vacation must not
be too great.

and chauffeurs, there were more than
130 In the Presidents official and un-
official party last Summer. The So
called unofficial party included the
correspondents and camera men.
There is every reason to assume that
there will be just as many on hand
this Summer.
Considering all this and the fact
that the President has received more
than so formal offers of a Summer
home, 1t is little wonder that the task
of setting up the Summer White
House is not an easy one and that
he will give a sigh of relief when 1t
Is all over and he Is away and out in
the open enjoying himself. More
over, several States are making an
out-and -out campaign to land the
President for the Summer. Several
State Legislatures have formally in
vited the President, to say nothing of
State governors and chambers of COM
merce and other civic and trade
bodies in the West. ANY number of
Senators and Representatives have
called upon the President to urge him
to come to their respective States
for the Summer. Some of these have
been very insistent.

d
- the presidential party and setting
up adequate and direct telephone and
telegraph facilities, there are the
questions of operating expense. the
establishing of a base Of supplies. the
selection of a place that is healthful
as well as cool and attractive. The
President desires a Summer home in
section that affords considerable
altitude. This is essential for hic
own enjoyment and personal comfort.
The President suffers from recurrent
sinus and bronchial trouble, and his
being in a high altitude has always
benefited him. He insists also that
the place he selects be as free as
possible of mosquitoes and other
Summer pests.
Inasmuch as the expenses of every
one in his party except the news
paper men and camera men. the Army
and Navy officers, Marines and Secret
Service, are paid out of the special
fund for Presidential travelling. it Is
quite natural that the President has
warned those arranging the details
to remember this fact. Congress ap-
propriates $4,000 annually for the
Presidents travelling expenses. but
the Executive is permitted to draw
on this for his vacation and the ex-
penses of his servants, chauffeurs,
q etaries S. stenographers, office
clerks and messengers. Not includ-
ing the personal expenses of the
President and Mrs. Coolidge and
their subsistence last Summer, 1t was

travelling fund to the extent of more

DKing the summer when Dick
and Dora, free from school, are
adding materially to the family in
come by vacation jobs, it must oc-
cur to many parents that it would
be wonderful relief if school days
were over for good and the added
bit to the budget could continue.
The struggle to make ends meet
and to keep children in high school
until the age limit of 16 is past,
often makes compulsory education
appear in the light of an unjust
law Particularly when boy or
girl is strong, we'll developed men
tally and physically, and educated
far beyond the dreams of his par
ents or grandparents. The last year
or two must seem unnecessary in
many cases.
Perhaps parents may be more re-
signed to such law when it is ex-
planned to them that it is chiefly
the last few years of child's school
life that keeps America, America.
otherwise it would be merely a
group of communities of various ma
tons, speaking different tongues,
nursing homeland traditions, hold
ing century old hatreds and taking
no particular pride in this land
called the United States of Amer
lea.
True, the good of the whole is
&often a burden to the individual
but the blanket law of public edu-
cation for all children during their
formative years is the greatest fac
tor for Welding us together in one
strong nation that we possess. Chill
dren are taught more things than
lessons. They are learning a COM
mon ideaI-that of obligation and
patriotism. without it the country
would not hold together for very
great length of time under present
conditions.
To be a nation indivisible people
must talk common language and
think the same Thoughts. Individual
freedom can never come before ma
tionaI freedom. When it does, there
is no nation.
