NOT ALL IS COMMON SENSE THAT
SOUNDS THAT WAY

Many adults who have not required
glasses for comfortable vision before
forty do need glasses after that age.
tho the change Of sight is so gradual
that they are slow to heed 1t. I do
not believe 1t Is advisable for every
one to have an eye examination or
test Of vision made at any time. But
adults of mature age who become con-
scious Of any difficulty in reading fine
print, for instance. should give them
selves the benefit Of an eye examin-
alton. For persons Of mature age it
doesn't matter whether the measure
ment of vision is made by an oculist
(eye physician), an optometrist (per-
son trained to measure vision) or an
optician Zone who makes or deals in
optical instruments and eye glasses).
If price Is no object. perhaps the op-
tician with long experience in fitting
glasses, will give the most satisfac-
ton. Otherwise l should prefer the
optometrist cat least I have found
optometrists more capable in this
work than oculists who have furnished
glasses for mel.
A second class Of people who should
wear glasses but do not are youthful
persons who reluct to wear glasses be-
cause they think glasses will detract
from their personal appearance. That
may be SO, yet the impairment of Vi
sion that is likely to occur from long
neglect of moderate refractive error
or unconscious strain will spoil per-
sonal appearance even more at time
In life when it is a better asset than
1t is in early youth. Besides, the eye
glasses available today detract little
II at all from good looks.
The third and most important class
Of people who should wear glasses but
do not are near-sighted children.
Myopia is the medical term for
near-sightedness. It is a common
condition, often hereditary. and may
be present at birth. Its prevalence
increases steadily from primary school
are up to college age. That is, the
myopia becomes more and more
manifest as the child grows older.
Here is q condition which demands
the knowledge and diagnostic and
therapeutic skill Of the physician.
The oculist. and not an optometrist
or optician, should have charge Of the
care Of vision In the near-sighted
child.
A large group Of near-sighted chill
dren have difficulty In seeing black
board lessons. Teachers not rarely as
sumo, and unwise parents assent to
the suggestion that the child Is dull
or stupid or lazy when In fact the
child has never had Q break which
proper glasses would give him.
Here are q few rules for the preser-
vation Of vision in near-sighted eyes:
l. The child should not do close
work for more than half an hour al
time. The child should never attend
q school that does not give regular
morning and afternoon outdoor recess
2. Light should come from above
behind and over the left shoulder o.
q right handed child or vice versa.
3. The child should be taught X
walk. stand. sit erect. particularly tx
keep the head erect, the chin In collal
| habit.

Observance last week of Financial
independence Week. was q good
thing for the nation and for this
community, In which special empha-
sis was given the matter by the Mis-
souri, Slope Life Underwriters asso-
ciation.
Newspaper publicity, radio broad
casts and public speeches carried the
message Of financial forehandedness
to the people, and thereby did good
work. For it is well for man to
think, occasionally, OF the hereafter
and of the preparation he has made
to meet 1t, both on his own account
and on behalf of those whom he may
leave behind. Therein lies the basis
Of activity for both preachers and
insurance agents. Each Is an evan
gelist, but each approaches the SUBJ
ject from q different direction. The
kinship may be proved by the fact
that pastors In many Bismarck
churches mentioned the subject in
their sermons at the beginning OF the
weeks observance.
On the whole, our local underwrit-
ers did the thing In fine style, what
with q proclamation by Insurance
Commissioner S. A. OlsnesS and the
presentation Of the subject In some
detail at = number Of meetings ad-
dressed by A. r. Gesu,e OF the
Northwestern National Bank and
Trust company Of Minneapolis, ard

Insurance firm at Fargo. II anyone
escaped these. posters on the wiz
dows Of business houses and s.;cke-s

It would be untrue to say tia. the
Insurance agents were wholly dish
erested. It IS by the sale OF insur-
ance service that they earn their ly-
ing. But that fact need not cloud
the benefit which they confer upon
humanity every day In the year. They
may have to back man into a cor
ner to sell him an insurance policy
or to make him keep one In good
standing, but. when death strikes and
they come around to settle up, they
are the most welcome visitors to
stricken household. It IS on such oc-
casions that they replenish the fine
evangelical spirit which marks the
true insurance salesman, for he knows
he Is conferring benefit upon every
customer whom he induces to think
IN terms Of financial independence,
either for himself in his old age or
for his dependents in the event Of his
death.
The Joke books are filled with wise
cracks about the insurance statesmen,
but tho members Of that fraternity
Fan stand 1t. serene IN the knowledge
that they perform . useful service,
that the troubles Of many widows. or
phans and old people would be seri-
ously aggravated without them.

A Weak Argument
(Aneta PanOrama)


Governor Langer's dismissal from
the federal relief set-up for the state,
by relief administrator Hopkins,
brings out some queer arguments by
the LANCER apologists.
One Of them, and most frequently
repeated, is that the governor did not
have charge of the relief work Of the
state for the past year. hence could
not be held responsible for the acts
of those who had.
If this was the case, how could the
governor be discharged from a job he
didn't hold, or had held for the past
year? One cannot be discharged from
a job he doesn't have! The telegram
from Hopkins at Washington plainly
stated that the governor Of North Da-
kota, William LANCER, was relieved"
from his duties as head of the relief
works. How could he be relieved" II
he had not had charge of the job, or
been its nominal head, or from a job
he did not hold? Then why, If he
did not hold this job, take dismissal
to heart which should not concern
him?
It looks to us like much ado about
nothing, or trying to make 1t appear
that black is white. If Langer's argu-
ment is true. Authorities at Wash
ington should and do know who is at
the head Of federal works in the vari-
Gus states of the union, and to say
that they would fire some one that
held no job with them is as asinine
as to say that they do not know
whether Roosevelt or Garner is presi-
dent of the United States.
Another argument, of the same ma
ture, is that the governor and his
adherents loudly and long denounced
Hopkins statement that some Of the
relief money had gone into The Lead
er fund, and in the second breath
admitted that In any case it had only
been measly $184. and that had been
given "voluntarily.".
The law provides that the intent
and commission Of q crime fixes the
punishment, NOT the amount In
volved. Hence we find that the man
who illegally take q hundred dollar.
that does not belong to him is held
just as great q criminal as the mar
who takes a million. It isn't the
amount that sets the degree OF th<
illegal act.
LANCER states that the time Of hi
dismissal" from . Job (which he say
he hasn't held for q Year, was ttmet
for purely political reasons, just befor,
the state convention at Valley City
while those who know say that th,
timing" was wholly coincidental-
not studied-to embarrass tho COVER
nor.
BY the same token. and II Langer'
allegations about timing were true
then the same could be said abou
him setting the date Of the election

The provisions of the projected code have the effect of making the association a trade union although there is to be no utilization with the National organization.
 Hours under the MIRA are to be from o'clock in the morning un- til o'clock in the evening on week days, with a closing hour of ' o'clock on Saturdays and days be- fore holidays. This represents a decrease of approximately hours per week
 Wages Set
 Contrary to previous practice whereby shop owners were able to hire men as cheaply as they could get them, wages are to be get. The new order calls for an established scale of 70 percent of receipts to go to the employee. Where two or more barbers are employed, the first man" is to get a weekly guarantee of at least $50.
 Another innovation is a regula- tion providing for the responsibil- ity of the shop owner for all credit work done.

They left Union City Wednesday morning and with stops at Ma naimo and Butedale, reached Prince Rupert the same afternoon, staying at the latter place Wednesday night. Yesterday noon they took off from Prince Rupert and stop ped for a time at Ketchikan on the way to Juneau.
 An unfortunate climax to the trip occurred in landing here yes- terday when MT Graham struck the glass windshield of the plane and suffered a cut on his nose re- quiring several stitches. However, he does not intend to let it inter fere with his trip or fishing expe- ditions and Harry Walmsley is busy trying to make good on all the stories of big catches he has been telling for the last few years.

ZINC SALES SET
2-YEAR MARK

Purchases of zinc concentrates
in this market for the week ended
April 81 were the heaviest in the
last two years, totaling $500 tons.
This tonnage is comparable to
the boom days Of 1929, and ex-
ceedS last weeks purchases by
1880 tons, being more than dou-
BILE the amount taken by smelterS
in that period. The price was
firm at $50 a ton for coarse and
$29 a ton for flotation concen-
trateS.
failing mills are becoming more
numerous in the Tri-State field
and are producing most of the
flotation concentrates.
Shipments for the last week
were 6,288 tons, compared with
6,387 tons a week ago. Produc-
ton increased to 1926 tons, COM
pared with GAS tons last week,
and was about 1000 tons greater
than the weekly average.
In the Tri-State field last week
81 mills were running. or the larg-
est number for. more than two
years. Average number of mills
operating is about so. while during
the depression era not more than
20 mills operated regularly.
