EXPERT OUTLINES EYE

Suggest Two Methods for Keeping

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, Jan. 15.-If you want
to keep your eyes in tiptop shape
try this on your monograph.
Place small piece of white paper
on the Greek disk and revolve the
disk slowly, following the white spot
with your eyes.
That, according to DR.. Carl F.
Sheppard of Chicago, will keep the
eye muscles in good form.
Another good setting up exercise
in the daily dozen for the eye balls,
DR.. Sheppard told the Illinois Opto-
metrist Society, is to lie flat on
your back and watch an imaginary
race between two flies on a circular
track.
Those with good inaginations
might bet on the flies, DR.. Shep-

has supplied this picture with an
excellent musical accompaniment

treat, Miss Carroll is heard as she
sings several songs. among which
is the. love theme song hit, Rose

The story Of ''Abie.s irish

falls in love with Rosemary

girl who, as her name implies,
holds allegiance to the shamrock.
