EYESIGHT CARE. g
 "Bxyniag E,es"

EYES that seem to burn" usually are badly strained eyes. The fact that they be- come strained suggests some eye-sight defect.
 Have your eyes examined regularly. Medical authori- ties advise eyesight examina- tions yearly after the age of forty.
 We examine eyesight by the most modern scientific methods. When glasses are needed. we guarantee their accuracy. The cost is usually moderate.

Bent Tenders Hurry

Fender dents are tolerated by
many motorists because Of the
false assumption that once dam
aged these most visible units ut

pearance. This fact Is pointed out
by Morris Weeks, Of the Wash
ington Cadillac company's mainte-
nance division.
"As matter Of fact, even apart
from the appearance angle, the
damaged fender should be repaired
Immediately" says Weeks. "Crushed
or bent, the protective coating of
enamel on the fender is wrecked
and it Immediately is susceptible
to rust. Gradually this rust will
cat its way through the part and
eventually replacement will be nee

WORK IS BEGUN
ON R. C. HIGHWAY

Work on the new state highway,
known as the Rocky Canyon road,
from the eastern city limits to the
mouth of Rocky canyon, was begun
this week by the contractors, J. N.
Brown and Son of BOzeman. A sub
contractor is engaged upon the pre-
liminary work, which includes the
moving of dirt and the making of
cuts and fills.
These activities, with the install
ling of culverts and bridges and the
grading of two miles of the 515 mile
stretch, will be finished about June
Is, it is expected. In the meantime
work on the 3.41-mile project partly
completed last year will be resumed
and it is hoped that by September
the full 514 miles will be. surfaced
and ready for traffic.
With the completion of this new
road, the present highway will b.
virtually abandoned. The new route
besides being nearly two miles short
er, has the advantage Of being NOR
level throughout it's length and ha
very few turns.
