JHiHR on lne llSJ is 10 nave our eyes
checked at least once year by an
expert and the next thing is to have
proper lighting in your home.
The story of light and the inten-
sity Of it, with its effect on the human
being, is very interesting and we'll
worth little study before purchasing
lamps and fixtures. Tests have been
made showing that poor lighting has
tremendous effect on the nervous sys-
tenn of young and old. and children
who have to study under poor lighting
conditions are always bad students.
and are at the bottom Of the class.
THE best light to read by. that Is
the easiest on the eyes, is under
a tree in the shade on bright. sunny
day! That in itself will show you that
your reading lamp is giving insufficient
light unless you have at least a 100
watt bulb that is properly shaded so
as not to come in direct contact with
your eyes. Speaking of bulbs. it is
mistaken idea to think that two Is
watt bulbs will give as much light as
one 50-watt bulb, because they won't.
If you don't believe this. get a sight
meter, which will tell the story.
One thing that is absolutely taboo
for the eyes is reading with the pages
brilliantly illuminated and the rest of
the room in comparative darkness.
This causes undue eye strain from the
contrast, forcing the eyes to adjust
themselves quickly each time you look
up and then back to your reading
mater.
An ideal lamp for any close work
is fashioned of bowl made of a COM
position that resembles frosted glass.

you an equal distribution Of light and

covered bulb. Any type of shade that
you desire, silk or parchment. may be

with a basketful Of little. decidedly

brilliant blue straw-the apples

pink-Mother and I both thought it
the height of fashion and beauty, and
even my father said it made Mother
prettier than ever, and was so becom-

it must have been simply hideous-but
such is the binding effect Of fashion.
Anyhow this hat won admiring
Clances through the first few days of
its existence, as Mother happily went
her way, attending to her domestic du-

marketmen. The denouement was-to

gulf between a husband and a wife
than that Of intelligence.
II is bad enough when the husband
is more intelligent and more cultured
than the wife, but when the wife has
a better brain and better education
than the husband, it is a tragedy. A

wife, but he is not ashamed Of her. he

woman to be married to a man who

the lord of creation too long to be
willing to play second fiddle to any
women, even his wife. He soon rebels
at his subordinate position.
If you will look over the list OF
famous women, or even the women
that you know who are more intel

find that there is hardly a single one

The feeling that You have for this

AnSWer-Dyeing your hair and using

matter of taste. Nor does it deceive
any one. If you look better with
your hair dyed. for Heavens sake go
on and do it. 1t is a matter of virtue
for every woman to be as attractive

at dye, get over the intermediate stage
Of turning gray by having your hair

who also are outdoor girls who like all

Government

LONDON, Oct. 22.-Germany and
Italy have agreed to the withdrawal
of foreign volunteers in the Span
ish conflict, but while diplomats OF
the involved nations met in Lon
don, it appeared that Father Time
himself might solve the problem OF
how to get foreign fighters out OF
the war by bringing the Spanish
Civil War to a decisive close, as In
surgent Spain displayed itself as
Europe's newest Fascist State.
With the capture by Gen. Fran
co forces of the Biscayan port city
Gijon, it appeared as though Fran
co has become the real dictator OF
at least two thirds of Spain.
Franco has set up a Fascist Grand
Council government with himself
as its all powerful head and plans
a massive thrust in Southeast Spain
where his Insurgent troops will at
tempt decisive victory over Valen-
cia and Madrid before winter sets
in.
If Gen. Frances attempt to take
Valencia is successful, the Madrid
government will move to Barcelona
in autonomous Catalonia, which
thus far has been free of major
warfare.
