With the smoke of the Primary
battle in the county, last week, clear
ing away, and leaving the largest
number of defeated and disappointed
aspirants in it's wake ever known in
the history of the Primary Election
Law, the party organs assure us the
wounds are all healing, and every
thing is lovely for the election in
November.
But, judging from the mutterings
to be heard on all sides in the rank
and file of the voters, indications are
that the lively scraps that have been
going on in both parties for weeks
past, will develop in plenty Of ticket
cutting in November, despite the
harmony songs being sung by the
party organs.

Osler Merely Jocular
in Famous Suggestion

Sir William Osler was born at Bond
head, Ontario, Canada, on July IL,
1S49, and died at Oxford, England, on
December 20, 1919. He was educated
at Trinity college, Toronto, and at
McGill university, Montreal, and also
studied medicine at London, Leipsig
and Vienna. From 1889 to 1904 he
was professor of medicine at Johns
Hopkins university. 1t is not true
that he said man should be chloro-
formed at 60. In farewell address
to his students in Baltimore in Febru=s
airy, 1905, he spoke of two fixed ideas
that he had, the first being the COM
parative uselessness of men about 40
years of age, the second being the
uselessness Of men above go years Of
age and the incalculable benefit 1t
would be if men stopped work at this
age. He added, In jocular way:
whether Anthony Trollope's sugges-
ton Of college and chloroform
should be carried out or not I have
become little dubious, as my own
time Is getting so short" Much pub
licity was given to this remark, with
out it being made clear just under
what circumstances he had uttered it.

SAVE YOUR EYES
By DR.. Fred Andreae, Sec. Md.
State Board of Optometry
Proper Illumination

Too frequently the question of
artificial lighting is apparently disre-
garded. Out of doors the source of
light (the SUM is far away, while in
door with artificial light the light
source is very near. Usually artifi-
cial lights are not placed as high in
the room or as far from the work on
which the eyes are being used as
they should be.
All lights should be considerably
above the line of vision and in rooms
of the average size this is ten feet or
more above the floor. Light which
falls directly from the source of light
into the eye is irritating, distracting,
and a constant source of strain. A
bright light source in the direct liue
of vision or bright reflections from
polished surfaces which are directly
in the line of vision serve no useful
purpose and are harmful to the eye
sight.
All light sources, including frosted
lamps, should be so shaded and diff
fused that the actual source of light
is not visible to the eye. The ten
dency has been in recent years to-
ward the use of indirect" lighting.
Lighting which is totally indirect, "
that is from lamps concealed in
opaque bowls and all reflected from
the ceiling is not comfortable. For
general purposes the "semi-in-
direct" system which uses a combi-
nation of the direct reflection of light
from the ceiling as we'll as permit
ting some of the light to come
through translucent bowl has beeu
found to be more natural.
1t is always better to use more
light of smaller size we'll scattered
than to concentrate the light in too
few and too large power sources.
There is very little danger of OBJ
tanning over ILLUMINATION from light
if it is properly distributed, for or
diary daylight on a cloudy day is
many times brighter than the average
well lighted room. The danger lies
in having too little illumination, or
wrong in quality and poorly dis
tributed.

Look Out For The Tax
Collector

In 1918 the aggregate cost of
government-Federal, State and
ocal-was $135 per family. In 1929
it was $3.50.
One out of each eleven families in
the United States now draws its sup
port from the government. Accord
ing to searching survey, the waste
of local units of government alone
totals more than half a billion dollars
a year, or ten per cent of their ex-
penditures.
The tax collector will continue to
tighten his grip on the American
pocketbook until the public uses
its power to force government to sub
stitute economical, efficient bust
neess practices for the present
wasteful methods.

Careful Motorists Prevent
Accidents

Intensive campaigns are now being
conducted throughout the nation to
make the public highways safe for
careful, competent and responsible
motorists, and to Danish the danger
presented to life and property by the
reckless.
1t is to be hoped that the campaigns
will be successful. But in the mean
time, the careful motorists can them
selves do much to lower the accident
toll by expecting the other driver to
do something dangerous.
In the words of Charles F. Ketter-
ing, vice-president, General Motors
Research Corporation, TT has been
my experience in a great many years
OF driving that if you will consider
the other fellow is likely to do some
thing which he may not do, it is a
great safety factor. l believe that
we should always be upon the look
out and expect that somebody will
come out of every blind alley and
make the wrong turn, because if we
are assuming that, we are alert and
know just exactly how to stop and
when to STOP"
This is sage advice. When assum-
ing all other drivers are capable,
the most competent and careful
driver is often powerless to avert an
accident. And, when lives and prop
erty are destroyed, the blame is of
only secondary importance.
Every state should do its best to
formulate modern, enforceable and
adequate traffic laws that will protect
the careful and punish and eliminate
the reckless. But until Utopian
highway conditions arrive, we should
all be pessimistic of the othet fell
lows ability at the wheel.

The League OF Nations Yearly
Meeting

For most Of the world, the most
important item of current news is
the Assembly of the League of
Nations, whose eleventh regular an
nual session is now meeting in
Geneva, Switzerland. During the
next three weeks the Assembly will
have before it long list of important
and difficult questions.
Among the most important ques-
tons to come up is the election of a
new bench of judges to the World
Cont. These judges serve for nine
years, and the new term begins
next January. 1t is proposed to in
crease the number of judges from
eleven. to fifteen, to require them to
live at The Hague, where the offices
of the Court are located, and to have
no other professional occupation.
1t is reported that former Secretary
of State Kellogg is likely to be one
of the judges elected.
Disarmament is a question which
will not down. Fresh interest is
lent to the disarmament discussions
by the recent proposal of the French
minister of war that France give up
universal military service, and estab-
lish a smaller professional army.
Consumption has been the stumbling
block of disarmament discussions in
the past, and this suggestion may
the way to more rapid reduction of
open ornaments in the future.
Means of revising treaties that
have become unfair because of
changing conditions will also be con-
sidered. France and Poland feel
very reluctant to Increase the ease
with which treaties may be modified.
There is much support, however,
for the view of China, Germany, and
Hungary, which Italy is at present
supporting, that there can be no
security against war unless other
means are provided for removing
conditions that are felt to be unfair.
Other matters of interest to all
nations will be discussed. The
United States has no voice in the
proceedings, because we have de-
clined to join the League of Nations.
Yet nearly all of its decisions will
concern us more orless directly.

DROUGHT HITS CORN CROP

The drought has cost the country a
loss of corn almost bushel for bushel
as large as the entire yield of wheat.
On July 1, the Crop-Reporting
Board forecast corn crop of 2,8O2,-
100000 bushels, 1873, 100000 bushels
more than the crop of 1929 and 1O3,-
100000 bushels more than the five
year average. But the blazing heat
of July and August struck 800, OOO,-
600 bushels off the anticipated corn
yield-just 100000 bushels less
than all the wheat the United States
is expected to raise this year.
The corn yield, as now indicated,
is below the feed requirements of
the corn belt proper and leaves moth
ing for distribution to the twenty
States which always buy corn.
