 Obituary Record Bishop Brewster in reviewing the obituary record Of the year just past dwelt for a moment on the passing of Bishop Edwin Stevens Lines of the Newark diocese. He traced his lineage and life from priest to a bishop and said: "Tn New Haven he made a notable record as pastor.

 The sunken boat. which had car ried the same men on fishing trips in previous years. was thought to be lying in nearly 100 feet of water about one mile northwest Of Sand Bar Island.
 Meanwhile steamhoats and scows assem bled near this backwoods tow n preparatory to lifting the ill-starre1 "Mac' from the bottom Of the lake as soon as it's position was ascer- tained. Inside the submerged era t were believed the bodies of many. if not all. Of the victims. Today more than 4o hours afte- the tragedy, the exact cause of the accident remained a mystery. Early reports were that the Mac had struck 3. submerged log, filled quickly. and gone 10 the bottom. Captain Lays said today. however that he did not recall having ex- perienced the jolt which would re- suit from tho boats collision with q, log.
 Natives schoolei fin lake lore ex- pressed the opinion that the con1- hined weight Of the II passengers, their camping equipment and the heavy gasoline engine. might have caused the Mac" to spring leak in it's bottom, where it would not be discovered until too late. They pointed to the fact that the Mac" a rather old boat. had been ip the water only a week this season and might not have been watcrtight. Up to noon today. no bodies had been recovered. giving further weight 10 the heory that most of the victims were trapped inside the wrecked craft
 Today dawned clear and bright over the tragic scene Of the boat wreck. and calm waters made 1t possible to carry on the hunt for bodies which had to be postponed yesterday because Of adverse wealth. CT.

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
D.. g. a. Q. Reed-

VoU. naturally and humanity,
= desire to save your children
from the lifelong calamity Of
blindness. You, doubtless, are
all the more concerned because
you have heard, what II undoubt-
edly true, that the majority OF
the inmates OF our institutions for
the blind became blind from pre-
ventab1e causes during the first
few days Of infancy. This fact
has become so impressive that
societies, national and State, have
been organized for the prevention
Of blindness.
Among these societies that have
been doing excellent work-and
whose methods point to what you
may have the opportunity to do
in helping along the works. the
Illinois Society for the Prevention
OF Blindness. This philanthropic
body was started by a few de-
voted social workers and physi.
clans in 1915.
The chief causes Of blindness, as
pointed out by Susan p. Moore
Nations Healthy, are disease and
dirt, especially when they are
present at the moment OF birth.
At the time when the society was
formed half the births in Chicago
were attended by unframed and
unsupervised midwives, many of
them foreign, most Of them un.
educated. Sore eyes In babies are
regarded by women of this type
simply as a piece of bad lick for
which they are In no way to
blame.
The consequence was that these
cases went unreported, eyes were
left untreated and mothers saw
their children's sight destroyed.
This was all for the want OF q lit.
tie disinfectant properly applied
. at the right time. OphthalmiR
(sore eyes, of the newborn is
chiefly due to gonorrhoea, but
mixed infections are almost as
dangerousg
Ten years ago trachoma, or
chronic red eyes," was so out Of
hand in Illinois State that one
county was paying to- the victims
of this disease pensions equal to
one-third of it's entire funds. This
condition is preventable and often
durable.
One school child in eight has
progressive myopia, or short sight,
or some other eye ailment, which
is made worse by the use of Or
binary print and, writing. Unless
school medical inspectors detect
and remedy them early these all"
ments may become permanent.
These, then, were the three
chief sources Of blindness. The
society began by getting a law
passed to make ophthalmia OF the
newly-born notifiable disease,
and since then the number Of
cases reported has increased by
four times. More than this, 1t has
instituted a systematic follow-up
of every reported case to enable
and ensure effective treatment.
1t Investigated every failure to
take the proper precautions or to
report promptly, and 1t brought
the law to bear on people who
did not sufficiently realize the
part they we're obliged to play In
the prevention OF this disease.
The result has been that, dur.
ing the last three years, the only
casualties have been the loss OF
one eye by one infant per wear,
with the other eye unlmpaired.
During one whole year, no child
lost It's sight from this cause.
