EyegIass Springs Are
Stronger Than Autos

SOUTHBRIDGE, Mass, May 10.
New springs for eyeglasses OUT
do the riding strength of auto
mobile springs.
These eyegless cushions have
recently been perfected by the
research department of the
American Optical Company here.
They are made Of a stainless steel
which is stronger than the auto
spring metals Pftsp bs
Shaped like auto springs, they
have three elfipticaf leaves, one
above the other. The longest is
not more than a quarter of an
inch. They are each seven thou
sandths of an inch thick slg
They form an arch which is set
lengthwise on the edge of rim

or clasp, is fastened to the glass,
it presses the spring against the

UNITED STATES SCIENTIST HAS
LAST SAY RELATIVE TO VOLCANO

had been active since August
Residents of towns at the base of
the mountain were fleeing.
The scientist had not even wait
ed until his arrival to begin his
studies. He found some peculiar
ashes on the boat that brought
him here; learned they had been
waited to the deck from an I'M
usually severe outbreak of Pelee
on December 16.
When he got ashore he had a
homemade earth contact micro
phone and a folding pocket cam
era in the way of equipment. He
went right to work.
In his story of the Eruption of
Mt Pelee, 1929-l932, DR.. Ferret
says this:
"Over all the northern section
of the island industry was para
lyzed and towns virtually evacu-
ated. Sugarmills were closed, the
cane uncut, the population on the
dole, while over all hung the ele-
ment of uncertainty and appre-
hension. Must all these rich es-
tateS with invested capital
amounting to hundreds of millions
of francs be forever abandoned?
Expresses A View
81 concluded that after an out
burst of the Plinlan intensity
shown in the eruption of 1902,
when the materials accumulated
for centuries had been blown
hsom the center and conduit, a
a1ifldAfa era of periodic eruption
shoTild ensue, each new outbreak
propoftlpnal in violence to the
length sof quiet interval during
which consolidation of lava and
obstruction of the vent had been
going on.
Il therefore expressed the view
that the most dangerous explo-
sive effects of the eruption were
already over; that, under
watchful observation of the vol
cano, industry might we'll be re-
Sumed"
That is the simple story of the
modest man who has saved Mar
Unique billions of francs in prop
erty and who has instilled in a
superstititous people, respect for
science.
Although there were many
eruptions during the next three
years, not a human life was lost.

ST. PIERRE, Martinique, May
17.-Thirty-six years ago all of st.
Pierre's 10000 inhabitants but

up on the wreckage of old.
1t was well on its way back
when, in 1929, Pelee roared again.
New disaster threatened. Resi-
dents were terror-stricken When
an American volcanologist ar
rived and calmly announced the
peril was past, St. Pierre scarce

A Boom Is On
But though the mountain was
angry from 1929 through 1882,
the holocaust never came. The
volcanologist came to be respect

Arizona begins - an examination

able as an inspection trip through
a Crepes Suzette factory.
At the Arizona border, informed
and reputable travellers tell me,
stand agents who look upon any
man in an automobile as one who
plans to come into the sacred
confines of the state and blow it
to bits. These agents, 1 am told,
start with a regular police third
degree. This is step No. |, and Is
given the tourist even before he
steps from his car. Sort of as a
warming up process, before he is
hauled from his machine and given
step No. 3 Step No. 2. I have been
given TO understand, consists of
running the suspect through a
patented machine that is nothing
more than the offspring of cof-
fee grinder and a threshing ma
chine.
If he survives this he is ready
for step No. 3, which calls for tin
gerprinting (done with red hot
waffle irons, 1 am told, photo
graphing by a rogue's gallery eX-
pert, and then a thorough going
over with a cat o'nine tails This
final item is calculated to drive all
Japanese beetles, wasps, Bulgarian
beet bores and lettuce flies from
the person of the victim.

At the conclusion of step No.
the tourist is given a sticker for
his car which says he is a welcome
guest Of Arizona, and has been
granted the special privilege OF
spending as much money in the
state as he wants to.
