This is the time the Swan boat gets oiled for
its maiden trip around that body of water and
this year there is to be an innovation on
that little lake in the heart of Washington. A
squadron of 20 electrically propelled boats is
to be installed there early in May that
moderns who yearn for speed more than
the romance of rowing may drive-it-
yourself while listening to the radio board.
Each boat is to have receiving instrument
and a strange medley of air programs may
rise from the basin this Summer.
Washington preserves in some form, today,
a bit of every recreational game devised by
mankind to get close to nature in the Spring
time, it would seem If one takes a journey
through that municipal arena of sports be-
ginning at the edge of the White House
grounds, continuing through the beautiful
Mall and Potomac Park and into the
waterway converging at Hams Point A reading
of the statistical table showing the use of
Government recreational facilities here in the
annual report of 1891 by Lieut. Col. U. S.
Grant, 3d. director of public buildings and
public parks readily confirms this opinion. The
figures herein quoted are taken from that
document.
The ancient Scotch game of golf stands at
the head of the list in local popularity, nearly
400, 900 persons having played on the municipal
regulation, miniature and practice courses last
year.
Beauty of very different sort spreads over

Moving Lights Used to
Aid Imperfect Vision

Philadelphia.-Four weeks Of
"eye exercise" Strengthened the
cross-eyes Of twenty-two- months
old baby at the clinic of the Penn.
sylvania State College Of Optom-
etry.
The exercise was mostly the en-
gaging occupation of gazing at
little colored lights and figures that
moved, but considerable ingenuity
was exercised by the clinic attend
ants in getting the childs atten-
tion.
This patient is the youngest ever
treated by the clinic. according to
DR.. Edwin Forbes TAFT. chief OF
the clinic and a member of the col.
lege faculty. One OF the oldest and
most difficult cases was a man of
forty-eight years of age. Correc-
ton is difficult in persons past
twenty.
The clinic Of the College of Optom-
etry is one of the few in the East
equipped to specialize in the treat
ment of cross-eyes, which the optom-
etrist knows as "squint." From
10 to 20 per cent of their cases
are Of cross-eyes, though approx
mately per cent Of all eye-defect
cases are encountered in the aver
age clinic.

Grand Forks Office
Getting Applications

Grand Forks, N. D., Feb. 13.-(F)-
A report from South Dakota that the
Grand Forks seed loan office has
ordered refusal of livestock feed
loans to farmers who obtained feed
loans last fall is incorrect, accord
ing to Walter E. cliff, administra-
tor for the northwest area.
Eliff said counties throughout the
area merely had been asked to defer
handling of supplemental loans un-
til they received definite instructions
on how to prepare the applications.
These instructions were forwarded
several days ago.
The Grand Forks office Saturday
received more than $50 applications
for livestock feed loans under the
new regulations and the handling of
the loans is being pushed rapidly,
Eliff said.
Loans to farmers for 1882 crop
production from the $5O,O0O,OOO ap-
propriated for that purpose will be
handled by the agriculture depart
ment through eight regional offices.
New ones will be set up In Spokane,
Minneapolis, Salt Lake City and Dali
las to make loans for their reSpec-
tive districts.
The offices already in existence
are at Washington, Memphis, St.
Louis and Grand Forks, N. d.

question of initiation was raised. the
