Care Of The Eyes

Many persons become blind, or 60 through life
with impaired vsiOn because of neglect of the most
ordinary precautions according to Dr. Steelsmth of
Iowa, who gives good advice in recent article.
He declares that the putting of drop or two of
silver solution into the eyes of infant at birth is
most important matter five six different kinds
of germs which may partial complete blind
liable to gain access to the infants eyes at
that time
It is also important to keep sharp or pointed in
struments, such scissors, pencils and dangerously
shaped toys away from very young children, and any
foreign body which happens to get into the eyes should
be given immediate attention. No inflammation of
the eyes, however slight should be neglected
With respect to cross-eyes Dr. Steelsmith advis-
that steps be taken to correct this condition very
early, and he declares that child not more than
year old may be taught to glasses for straight
ening the squint which will in most cases effect a
permanent correction. He against the use of
ten-cent store glasses or any glasses not prescribed
after expert examination of the eyes.
Reading in a poor light or. in a bad position
strains the eyes unduly while glare is also harmful
and should be avoided as much as possible.
Considering what handicap poor eyesight plac-
es upon the individual it is really strange that the
simple precautions recommended by health author-
ties are so frequently neglected.

no man in the country can start up
one of those engines in IL minutes.
Tt was brought out that one ran
nine minutes and burned out a
bearing. In thirty minutes they had
another one started, Rankin said.
At this stage of the meeting Ran
kin declared there had been mis-
leading information about the water.
Street Superintendent Higgin-
botham then said he had never dis
puted there was oil in the water.
II know where the oil came from
and knew there was oil in the wat
err, declared Rankin.
An engineer from the pumping
plant said there would be no burn
ed out bearings if he had the proper
repair parts, after which Rankin
declared engines at the plant ran
for four months without filter cloths.
And he added that there are Is
elights of glass; out over expensive
machinery at the pumping plant.
A mechanic announced the oil leak
"has now been stopped" and that
it had come up into the well thru
a crack in the floor.
Attack On G.. Of G..
A letter from H. P. Watkins, Sec
retary of the Chamber of Commerce,
and signed by Watkins and Presi-
dent E. K. Cumming, brought on
Mayor Bettwy's attack on that Or
ganization.
In the letter Watkins asked that
he be appointed the citys agent to
expend the $1,000 set aside in the
city budget for publility. "When that
organization wants to appoint their
own agent they better run for May
orr, said Bettwy and added: "Wat-
kins, as agent, is OUT.
'I don't see that the Chamber of
Commerce has done thing for
Nogales the past year" he said, and
denied that the chamber is entitled
to any credit for Nogales getting
the new flood control works.
The Budget
In discussing the $4,000 WPA item
In the budget, the Mayor made it
known that he would oppose pay
ment of the sum to alien labor.
approximately 400 aliens are on the
WPA payroll and 400 Americans are
out of work here now'', he said.
Item by item of the budget was
gone over and the efforts of Alder
men Rankin, Tovrea and Wayte, af-
ter Edmonson had gone, to make
salary cuts and other reductions
proved futile, the budget, as drafted
by the Mayor, being adopted with
out change.

It struck the city unwarned and unprepared. In less than 10 minutes 1t had destroyed homes, stores, and public buildings, leaving a path across two-thirds of the city, and had raced on to destroy a CCC camp one mile to the west. After that, 1t seemed to have dissipated
 The electric lighting system failed even while the wind cone spun and telephone and electric crashed to earth. The resulting darkness added to the suffering and panic. For the first few minutes after the wind passed, survivors ran through the black streets screaming and shouting. But in a very short time some order was es- tablished in this chaos and rescue work began.
 Only one telephone line leading to the outside world was left in- tact and within 20 minutes author ities had communicated 1t to sum- mon aid from surrounding cities as far south as Jackson, in the center of the state, and from Memphis, 95 miles northwest. Within an hour ambulances, trucks, and passenger cars were racing along the gravel roads, made slippery and danger ous by prolonged rain, toward the city.
 Doctors, Nurses At Scene
 Soon after midnight. ambuIances and private cars were carrying the injured to New Albany, Pontotoc, and other towns nearby. An hour later ambulenceS, doctors and nur- ses arrived from Memphis in am- balances and established an emer- gency hospital in the courthouse, where they worked over the in- jured by the yellow light of farm lanterns.
 Soon after dawn special train arrived from Memphis with com- plete equipment, medical and food supplies, and doctors, surgeons, and nurses.
 At day break Tupelo insurance man with much experience in ap- praising local property toured the residential districts and estimated property damage at $2000,OOO.
 One of the worst hit districts was that around the municipal wa ter tower and reservoir largely in- habited by negroes. The water tank was blown down and survivors told of seeing at least 20 negroes blown into the reservoir. Several bodies had been recovered and workers were dragging for more.
 Survivors told narrowing stories. Several saw bodies being hurled through the air with great velocity. Roofs were lifted from buildings and set down 8 quarter of a mile away. Trees were jerked up by their roots and carried hundreds of yards.
 Washington, April 6--UP)-The American Red Cross today reported an estimate of 100 to 175 dead and $50 injured in the Tupelo, Miss, tornado.
 The estimate was made by George Ritchie, Southern Bell Tele- phone O., manager at Tupelo, to Colin Herrle, assistant Red Cross disaster director.
 The casualty estimate covered Tupelo and immediate vicinity.
 The Red Cross rushed nine disas- ter workers into the area from va rious points. Two workers were sent from Washington. 
 Ritchie advised the Red Cross that about 750 homes were de- stroyed in Tupelo and that "half the town was destroyed or badly damaged"

 2. The concentration of troops and air force units at selected points.
 3. A plan for military operations
 Strategists believe that if Ger many launches an attack 1t will be not only be through Belgium but through Holland.
 Hence, instead of dispatching an expeditionary force to northern France as in 1914, it was believed Britain would send its men direct to Belgium and, if Germany violated the Netherlands frontier, to Holland
 It was expected that the staffs would designate which units of British, French and Belgian infan- try. cavalry and artillery would bt statoined at designated places, de- eide on defensive and offensive &C., tion. and plan a shattering attack in the air.

 An official summary of the situ- 1, ation after the retreat said: "This victory permits the high command to conceive and put into execution the boldest plans for the near future. In many quarters this is taken to mean a drive on Des- sye."
 Italian COmmunique
 Rome, April 6-(UP)-Italian troops have occupied Alamata, g miles south of Korem on the road to Dessye, an official communique said today. Italian planes bombed Sasa Baneh, on southern Ethiopia, 1t was announced.
 The communique, No. TIT, said: Our troops continue to advance, pursuing the remnants of the em- peror's army. The first army corps and the Eritrean army corps passed beyond the region of Lake Aschangi, occupied the important position of Korem and reached yesterday Ala mata, IS kilometres south on Korem, enroute to Dessye.
 "In the western sector, one of our columns occupied the Ethiopian customs post of Gabadi, between the rivers Angareb and Gandua.
 Tribal leaders and authorities of the Semien region surrendered to military authorities at Deberech. During the mopping up of the Deb- erech zone, two cannon, numerous rifles and much ammunition were captured.
 Our -airplanes destroyed two enemy airplanes on the Addis Ababa airfield. One of our airplanes be- longing to the northern front did not return to its base. An air squad ron from Somaliland effectively bombed Ethiopian positions at Sassa Baneh."

CheopS closed the temples and made all the Egyptians labor on his monument, working in relays of 100, 1000 men every three months. He even sacrificed the honor of his daughter to get money.

 The body of the princess was re- clining sideways. Around the neck were three threads of gold. Another gold necklace with two gold weights was found on the ground, apparent ly having dropped from the body.
 Gold Everywhere
 The head-dress was of plain gold with streamers of copper and gold. A bracelet of thin gold was on each arm and girdle of copper covered with gold leaf around the waist.
 Gold circlets were around the legs and two heaps of gold were at the feet.
 Despite its excellent condition, the mummy was extremely fragile and was being handled with the utmost caution. The find was considered the most important since the discovery of Tut Ankh-Amen, whose mummy was 3,250 years old.
