SAVE YOUR EYES

Just as all other organs and mus
cles of the body become exhausted by
exertion so do the powers of vision
become dulled from use and require
to be renewed by rest and this is more
especially true if the light is not of
the natural color and quantity.
The needed rest may be afforded to
large extent by the manner in
which the eyes are used. 1t is ap-
parent from close observation by
optometrists. that the eyes work to-
gether in rather peculiar manner,
not both actively as one but each eye
actively by turns, the other eye COM
ing to the support of its fellow every
few moments to save each other from
exhaustion. AS very few people have
eyes which are equal in visual power
it is apparent that much strain may
result from this natural alternating"
process of vision and often it is ne
cessary to have the eyes properly
balanced" with the needed glasses in
order to obtain comfortable vision.
Entirely apart from this peculiar
ity, however, the eyes may be rested
when engaged in reading, sewing, or
other close work by glancing up from
the work and looking at distance
every few moments thus allowing the
converging and accommodating mus
cles of the eyes to relax and take on
new strength temporarily. If the
eyes be closed few seconds now and
then it will be found that they will
continue their normal sensitiveness
and activity for longer working
period. 1t is only in recent years
that eyes have been. required to do so
much continued work at short distan-
ces and as the process of natural evo-
luton is very slow, eyes are not yet
adapted to such work. Rest ''The
Tired Eyes,.

MORE COUNTY PARKS

County parks are increasing in
number and extent. Thirty-fve years
ago the county Playground and court
house grounds formed about the only
places for bubble use and enjoyment.
Today % states have laws permitting
counties to acquire land for park pur-
poses. Furthermore, since 1926, the
counties providing parks have doubled
in number. SiXty-six counties in 19
states now hold 1O5,444 acres for
their citizens outdoor life.
This is an excellent development.
1t distributes such Fairgrounds more
widely and divides the burden of
maintenance more fairly among all
the residents of a county instead Of
confining advantages and expenses to
the large or more prosperous conf
munities.
The recreational facilities thus af-
forded all citizens offer good re-
turns in health. Finally, establish
ment of county park areas is good
business. The National Recreation
Association studied various counties
with park areas and found that the
value of land within 1000 feet of
county parks had increased from 200
to 500 per cent within a few yeaIs.
Much of the increase was frankly at
tributed to the proximity of the parks.
It is probably just as important,
for many reasons, for municipalities,
counties, states and nation to estab-
lish public parks and forests as to re-
claim waste land for agriculture or
to cut scenic areas into real estate
subdivisions.

tracks was all I saw in the three
days, and believe them to have been
made by the same animal, as they
were in the same region and on diff
ferent days. If so, then the tracks
of two fawns was all 1 saw.
Here is what want to impress up
on the minds of you sportsmen and
all others who may be interested in
the conservation of our game. In this
same section there are plenty of bob
cat tracks. It is not the custom of
these cats to travel in packs like the
wolves, but we saw where there had
been three travelling together. There
are apparently twenty or more bob
cats in the Muddy Creek section. Ten
deer a season is very conservative
estimate for a bob-cat in deer coun.
try, hence the present scarcity Of the
fawns.
Ask old Tabby what the cat in
crease should be in the first half Of
1881, and it will be divulged that each
mother cat produces from three to
five. AS the cats increase in num-
Der the deer stands poorer show of
surviving.
We find some grouse in the same
section of the State forest which if
not disturbed by the killers (bob-cats)
will increase and make good shooting
for the sportsmen. AS the forests are
protected from fire and game will nat
urally increase if protected from their
natural enemies, the bob-cat being the
most aggressive. We do not claim
it would be fair for the county to in
crease the bounty on cats, for that
would be more money for the tax
payers to raise.
In the past we have imported into
the county snoweshoe rabbits from
Maine; Hungarian pheasants from
Mexico; turkeys from California; cot
ton-tail rabbits from various places.
Not that I object, but could we not
get the Conservation Commission and
the State Game Warden interested in
the protection of our deer and other
game from the bob-cat as well as
from man, for if you kill out of sea-
son the strong arm of the law is there
to gather US in las it should be), but
the blood-thirsty bobcats have 365
days in which to kill.
Talk it over, brother sportmen. If
it appeals to you let's get together
if it takes banquet to frame solu-'
ton for the determination of the bob
cat. If this appeals to you, drop US
card to Deer Park, Md.

PRESIDENTIAL ASCEN-
DENCY

Observers of the political heavens
have not failed to note in recent
weeks the growing ascendency of the
Presidential star. This has been in
terpreted correctly not as the result
of White House strategy nor of party
manouvering but as the direct conse-
quence of a better understanding of
Herbert Hoover by the people of the
country. *,
Perhaps the first of this series of
events which have so contributed to
popular appreciation of the Chief
Executive was his speech at the Child
Welfare Conference. Seldom have
Presidential utterances received such
warm and unanimous approval as was
accorded by the Nation. Before the
acclaim had been stilled, Mr.. Hoover's
decision to send the World Court Pro-
tocol to the Senate was made public.
While opinion remains divided as to
the advisability of this country's par
ticipation in international controver-
sizes, the Presidents courageous action
in submitting the matter for decision
was highly praised not only by the
proponents of peace but also by the
country as whole.
Timely, therefore, was the message
to Congress which gave to the citi-
zens of the United States new COM
prehension of the wisdom and ability
of their President. Interpreted even
by the opposition press as revealing
a profound understanding of the Ma
tion's economics problems, popular
opinion placed a far greater value on
the message accepting it as harbin-
ger of new prosperity under the
guidance of a man in whom the peo-
pie have placed their faith.

Save Your Eyes

Early in life the boy begins to OBJ
serve and make choices of the work
which he thinks he will like best and
after he has been a few years in
school he is thinking of selecting the
work or profession in which he is to
be engaged in later life. In the choice
of this ''life work" the capabilities of
his eyes should never be left out of
account.
Many are the young men who on
entering their chosen profession find
that their eyes refuse to do their work
and it is necessary to leave the task
for which they have spent so much
time and money in preparation for
something less troublesome and less
in its demands upon the eyes. -
Eyes, which in few years would
fail an engraver, an artist, or fine
mechanic, would last a landscape
gardner, or a seaman lifetime. He
who has sound, healthful eyes may
choose his occupation without regard
to them but with weak eyes must rea-
lize his handicap and prepare accord
ingly. One cannot determine by SIM
pie tests he may take himself whether
his eyes be strong or weak and for
this reason it is wise to obtain pro-
fessional advice upon the eyesight be-
fore any choice of work is made for
later life.

New Record in Pork Production

A new record in pork production
in Garrett county was realized last
Thursday morning when Hobart Bish-
off, of Hoyes, butchered three pigs
weighing 120, 1913 and 131 pounds re-
spectively, at the age of thirteen
weeks, three days.
These animals were purebred Berk-
shires and their diet consisted of
wheat middlings, ground corn, miner
al mixture and lots of skim milk.
Mr.. Bishoff's experience skaters
the old theory that "a pigs time isn't
worth anything" These pigs, with
an average daily gain of IA pounds
were developed into pork at a cost
of approximately 8 cents per pound.

PRESERVE FUNDS" FOR
WAGES

Edward F. McGrady, legislative
representative at Washington for the
American Federation of Labor, is
quoted as declaring that the Fedora
.tion's executive council will go on rec
ord at it's next meeting in favor of a
bill establishing reserve funds" to
meet unemployment in industry, the
funds to be maintained by joint con-
tributions from employers and from
the government. Full details are not
supplied, but it is evident enough that
If such plan has really been matured
by A. F.. of L. officials it is of con-
siderable interest.
The Federation has for many years
opposed compulsory unemployment
insurance" AS recently as last
September Mr.. Green went out of his
way to attack the idea. What labor
wants, he declared, is jobs rather than
"doles", and he added that "the
American workman resents the idea
of being compelled to make fixed
contribution to fund" At the an
nual convention in October the Fed
Grafton devoted much time to unem-
ployment, but its interest was in Sc
curing stabilization of industry rather
than protection for workers after
their Jobs were lost. Various reso-
lutions favoring unemployment in
surance were simply referred to the
executive council. Yet other Fedora
tion officials have indicated from time
to time that they were less opposed to
unemployment insurance than is Mr..
Green; the New York State Fedora
tion, in indorsing Governor Roose-
velt's suggestions, seemed to place
itself on record as favoring the prin-
ciple, while Mr.. Green himself has
intimated that if industry could not
solve it's own problems he might be
willing to see the government called
in.
Now Mr.. McGrady, adopting an
idea that has been advanced before,
appears to have synthesized the views
of those who want unemployment
benefits and those who oppose unem-
ployment insurance.
The wage Garner has the same
right to security of employment
that the stockholder has to Sc
curity of dividend payments *
We believe every industry should
be compelled to set aside reserves
for unemployment wages in slack
times, just as they set aside re-
serves for dividends.
This, at any rate, has the merit of
abandoning actuarial terms altogeth-
er. 1t is hardly necessary to point
out, however, that such theory
would effect far more drastic re-
vision of our economic system than
any unemployment insurance"

An Interesting Fact
THE STAMP ACT

! We have been taught that the Rev.
olution was waged by the American
: Colonies as a protest against taxa
ton without representation. But so
far as Maryland, at least, was con-
cerned, the cause of that great strug-
gle was more fundamental.
! Section Xxx of the Charter of Mary
land expressly provides that the king,
his heirs and successors Eat no time
hereafter will impose, or make or
cause to be imposed, any impositions,
customs or other taxations, quotas or
contributions whatsoever in or upon
the residents of the Province afore-
said, for their goods, lands or tene-
ments within the said Province" etc.
Buttressed by this declaration in
the original grant and being bent on
managing their own affairs, regard
less of consequences, it is not surpris-
ing that the Stamp Act, passed by
Parliament in March, 1765, was re-
ceived with intense and infexible op-
position.
Opposition to "this most grievous
and unconstitutional act" was not
born of disloyalty. The Colonists were
still subjects of Great Britain. They
did consider it, however (as stated in
the instructions given their delegates
by the freeholders of Anne Arundel
county,, sin derogation Of our an
cient inherent rights and privileges
as freemen and liege subjects of the
Crown of Great Britain" On this
declaration they firmly took their
stand, believeing that "each new law
imposed on us may pave the way to
some new tax; each new tax to some
new oppression-opp (unre-
sisted) leads in direct and open path
to bondage; and that to the immediate
privation and utter destruction of lib
erty, of property, and all that is dear
to u.s."
The Maryland Gazette boldly enter
ed the fight on behalf Of the Colonists
in opposition to the Act. Its columns
were open to all protests. Notice was
given by citizens that they would not
pay any tax whatever except that
laid by their own representatives The
"Sons of Liberty" a more or less Sc
cret organization, became so active
that stamp distributors, appointed for
the purpose, were forced to resign,
so that when the time came for the
law to go into effect, there were no
officials to act. &; |
Everywhere throughout the Colo
nies the highest excitement and in
dignation prevailed. When Zachariah
Hood, the stamp distributor for Mary
land arrived, he was met at the dock
by citizens who prevented him from
landing. He effected a secret land
ing, however, but his home was burn
ed and in several places his effigy was |
whipped, hanged and burned and he
was obliged to flee from the Province.
When the time came for the Act to
go into operation, the court of Fred !
erick county unanimously resolved
and ordered that all the business and
processes of the court should be
transacted in. the usual manner with
out the use of stamped paper. Other
courts followed the example. Under
the circumstances, Parliament, evil
IDENTIFY seeing the handwriting on the
wall, wisely repealed the Act on
March II, 1866. .- /
Thus again Marylanders were will
ing to share every risk in defense of
the privilege of local self-govern-
ment.
