 Eve Exercise

 AnSwer-Best exercise for the eyes is using them to view scenes or scenery at varying distances. Best conservation for vision, if there is myopia, nearsightedness or other marked refractive error, is wearing glasses carefully fitted by eye phy- sician while the unconscious accom- modation or strain is at rest under the effect of eye drops.

had already been impressed by the large number of readers who had taken the trouble to write to tell me how pleased they were with this doctors treatment. The correspon- dent remarked that perhaps the doctors skill was in part due to his training as an artist, and he mem tioned some of the doctors achieve ments in his avocation. I believe it is quite so.
 My criticism of the present tend ency in nurse training is that the doctors who have charge of nurse training schools attempt to fill the nurses head with a lot of hifalutin hooey, actual medical stuff, which just tires her, wastes her study time, and prevents her from learn ing how to nurse the sick patient, how to do things to make the pa tient comfortable. We know from the very best experience that in- telligent young women make excel- lent nurses in properly directed two-year course of training. The third year is robbery of the nurses professional service, nothing less.
 I believe medical education at present is similarly afflicted. We're turning out top-heavy young doc tors, and they're not much use for the plain family doctoring business.

HALIBUTERS IN DISPUTE
 WITH BUYERS
Meeting Today in Seattle May Have Settled
 Differences

Juneau halibut vessel owners re- ceived word today from Seattle that a deadlock between fishermen and fish buyers over the 1888 agreement appeared to be broken today when vessel owners and buyers agreed on three provisions for submission to the union for acceptance.
 The dispute had been concerned with deduction percentage on heads, minimum size of chicken halibut and mishailing penalties.
 Last year, buyers deducted IA per cent in poundage in buying fish with the heads on This year the agree ment is for only 12 percent de- duction, meaning gain to fisher men of two pounds hundred.
 Minimum size on chicken halibut last year was five pounds with heads off, which has been also tentatively changed this year to six pounds with the heads on, representing lit tIt CIidllSS oftl idot ycdl III biiC AAAidi analysis.
 "Mishailings" refers to instances where a buyer asks the vessel how much fish and what size fish he has aboard. If the fishermen underesti- mates his load of 'larges" for in- stance, the buyer who buys only to fill his demand may be stuck with more fish than he can sell-hence a penalty is levied on the fisherman for mishailing his cargo.
 Buyers and union have agreed in today's conference on slightly great

CIVILIAN LECTURERS

Not only does the study include strictly American questions; the strength and weaknesses of various possible enemy nations are surveyed. The officers have access to secret maps and other information not available elsewhere. The college works in cooperation with the State Department and other government agencies
 Among civilian lecturers ar Bernard M. Baruch, financier, head of the War Industries Board; pr Vilhjalmar Stefansson, Arctic eX- plorer; John P Frey, vice presi- dent of the American Federation of Labor, himself a high-ranking reserve officer; and many others, usually about 85 year
 The Army War College is strict ly gentleman's school. The off cers come to Washington with their families; their pay goes right on; extensive recreational facilities are provided. In spite of the deadly se- rious nature of their study, life for them is not so tough.
 But the military looks upon the business with a serious eye. Here is what U s. soldier No. l, Gen John J. Pershing, says of the train ing:
 Without the least disparage- ment of the services of the great body of scientific, professional and business men who held responsi- ble positions during that (World war) emergency. it is only justice to say that, in all essential re- spects, the directive genius, al most without exception, was the educated soldier

eco CAMPS TO REMAIN

In Q statement made March 10, Robert Fechner, Director of the Ci- vilian Conservation Corps, an- u- enced that nearly 300 of the 1r00 camps now in operation by the Corps will be discontinued before June 30. However, in checking the list of camps to be closed it was noted that Alaska was not included thereon, although from one to six teen camps are to be abandoned in each of the forty-eight States.
 In a conversation recently had with Director Fechner, the Delegate pointed out the need for continu- ance on the same scale of the work now undertaken by the CCC in the Territory, both from the standpoint of work well done and filling def mite need for employment, and par ticularly for the aid of the natives.

FEDERAL FUNDS FOR SCHOOLS

A companion bill to that intro duced by Delegate Dimond in the House last week was introduced in the Senate on March 9 by Senator Burke. This legislation proposes to amend existing law so that Federal funds set up for public schools in Alaska will be paid to the Treasurer of the Territory of Alaska for re- disbursement to directly cover the various schools needs.
 At present these funds are paid directly to the treasurers of the in- dividual school districts under the provisions of the so-called Nelson Act, approved January 27, 1905. Be- cause of the length of time that is required for vouchers to be re- ceived in Washington. the account checked and verified, and payment therefor remitted back to Alaska, it is often many months after teachers salaries and payments on other school indebtedness is due be- fore payment is received The pro- posed amendments will authorize final payments originating in Ju- neau, which should greatly speed the making of payments when due, as well as simplify the accounting therefor.
 Enactment of the bill will also authorize the extension of school terms from 5 to months and the employment of more than one teacher in each school.

Safety Stickers, Motor We
hicle Officials Estimate
ALL MUST COMPLY

The State Motor Vehicle Depart
ment Wednesday afternoon closed
all automobile inspection lanes
which had been charging a fee of
81 for examinations of vehicles
since September 1. The slowness
of automobile owners to respond
since that time necessitated the
closing of the lanes in Wilmington,
Dover and Georgetown. All in
spections are now being made at
the motor vehicle department offic-
es at these places with the fee
charge still effective. Officials es-
innate that there are about 1000
unapproved motor vehicles in the
state. Since the first of this month
the Wilmington lane on Bancroft
Parkway near Ninth Street has
been averaging about 35 approvals
daily, exclusive of dealers cars. Of
the approximate number of unap-
proved vehicles in Delaware it is
estimated that about 1000 are in
Wilmington. 1t was pointed out
that all unapproved cars will be
stopped and warnings given to the
owners to have the necessary in
spection made within a limited
time, probably five days. Failure
to have a car inspected viii result
in the department refusing to
