cence they assume that if the let
ters in the book are blurred, that is
the way they should be and that
every other pupils book has blurred
letters also.
It Is therefore not unnatural that
the best meaning parents should be
bewildered when their children are
reported as failing in their studies
and that they should resent the sug-
gestion that the children are lack
ing in intelligence. They think, and
properly, that the child at home is
intelligent, and blame the school
authorities for the failure of the
child to advance.
Another Difficulty
Another difficulty familiar to
school authorities is that when the
suggestion is made that child
needs glasses, the parents say, "He
got glasses a few years ago." AS
the child develops the eyes develop
also, and the glasses that might
have been proper "a few years ago"
are not necessarily adequate now.
Then it depends on who fitted the
glasses ga few years ago." I feel
that for a child's eyes the best ocu-
list is none too good.
Oculists agree that the small er-
rors are the most important to cor
rect because child's eyes are al
ways attempting to over-correct
these small errors. They succeed in
doing so but only at the expense of
strain, which means headache and
general discomfort. Good vision is
One thing,> sustained good vision
with comfort is quite another.
The two common abnormalities
of the eyes in children are astigma-
tism and muscle imbalance. Both
can be compensated, but at cost of
discomfort.

is used at once, having no left-overs
to spoil and making it possible to
use variety in lunches.
Planning and packing the school
lunch is just as important a problem
for mother as the planning and pre-
pairing of meals to be served at home
Did it ever occur to you that you
could be indirectly responsible for
your child's poor grades in school?
If your child is to grow, be mentally
and physically active, be able to
combat colds and other diseases, he
must have MONDAY meal which
combined with his meals at home,
will give him a Well-balanced days
diet This means planning Each
growing body needs quart Of milk
daily; two servings of vegetables,
other than potatoes; two servings of
fruit Zone raw or canned tomatoes) E;
lat least one serving of egg, meat,
fish or cheese; cereal foods, such as
breads and whole cereals; and butter
and sweets in moderate amounts.
Each child should have a lunch
box that is easy to carry. Metal is
preferred because it is more sub
stantial and easier to pack. A tin
pail with holes punched around the
top for ventilation, will serve the
purpose nicely. Use plenty of wax
paper but no newspaper, please! Put
juicy foods in screw top containers
Pack heavy food at bottom. Do not
have lunch of all dry or all liquid
foods, but give variety.
A we'll planned lunch contains:
Cd Substantial sandwiches with a
filling of meat, cheese, egg, fish,
peanut butter, beans or a substantial
food with bread and butter sand
wiches. (2) A succulent food such as
a salad, vegetable sandwich, raw or
cooked vegetable or picked vege-
table of picked fruit. 90 Milk, to
be drunk or in the form of milk
soup, cocoa, or custard. (4) Fruit or
fruit juice. (5) Something sweet
such as cookies, cinnamon buns, gin
ger bread, jelly sandwiches, stuffed
dates or chocolate fudge.
Some suggested lunches to take
to school: (D Chicken sandwiches,
lettuce and tomato sandwich, apple
sauce, cup cake, milk. (2) Peanut
butter sandwiches, jelly sandwich,
raw carrot sticks, cup custard, milk.
(3) Egg sandwiches, bread and but
ter sandwich, one-half cup cabbage
salad, cookies, milk. (4) Bacon and
lettuce sandwiches, firm tomato,
gingerbread, raisins, milk. (5) Cot
tage cheese and nut sandwiches, pear
cinnamon buns, milk. (6) Chopped
cold meat sandwiches, filling mois-
tened with choW-chow; whole wheat
bread and butter sandwiches, deviled
egg, canned fruit, milk
Use a variety of breads for sand
wiches. Have bread that is at least
one day old. Slices should be Ia to
1-3 inches thick. Butter makes an
excellent spread. Care must be taken
not to \et filling too soft Crisp let
tuce or cabbage leaves may be used
with many sandwich combinations.
Some suggested Filings for sand
wiches are: Cd Hard cooked eggs,
with finely chopped pickle, ground
ham, cottage cheese, or bacon mois-
tened with salad dressing. (2) Scram-
bled eggs with crisp bacon, crisp fat
pork, chopped beef or sausage,
moistened with salad dressing. (3)
Cottage cheese or American cheese
with pickle, tomato and crisp bacon,
pimento, ground nuts, jam or chop

LIFE INSURANCE
 ASSETS TOPIC
 AT US. PROBE
Growth of Funds May 0ut- strip Field of Invest
 menf, Is Claim

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-A gov ernment witness told the Monopoly Investigating Committee the assets Of life insurance companies are growing so fast that the concerns may find their field of investment becoming smaller.
 Ernest Howe of the insurance section of the Securities and Ex- change Commission said he wanted Ito emphasize that the growth of assets of the legal reserve life insur- ance companies was much larger than the (population) growth of the United Sttaes"
 "It is easy to understand that with this rate of growth, the time may come when the supply of in vestments of a caliber suitable for life insurance companies may be- come somewhat restricted he said.
 Cites One Limit
 For example, he said, there is a more or less definite limit of gov- ernment securities which the com panies may own" if they are to maintain their earning rates.
 The committee, conducting the first government survey of the in- surance field since 1906, had re- ceived previous testimony that asets of insurance companies grew from two billion nine hundred twenty four million dollars in 1906 to twen- ty-six billion two hundred forty nine million dollars at the end of 1887.
 Senator OMahoney, Democrat, of Wyoming, chairman of the commit tee, commented after the hearing that it was significant that "so large percentage-74.l per cent to be exact-of the capital assets of the life insurance companies IS con- trolled by those chartered in New York and New England.
 Important to West
 This is of utmost significance to the West and South, the indus trial development of which has not kept pace with the growth of the country"
 Howe said that last year forty nine insurance companies held Il per cent of the direct or guaranteed Federal debt, 993 per cent of that of political subdivisions, 22.95 per cent of the railroad bonds, g per cent of the public utility debt, an estimated 15 per cent of the indus trial debt and 1l30 per cent of farm mortgages

ize Deputy Marshals to serve as prosecutors in Justice Court cases; to redefine burglary; to create an AL aska Real Estate Board; to declare it the policy of the Territory that at least half of the mechanics and lab- orers employed in the canning, salt ing and processing of salmon, herr ing and other marine products be Alaska residents; and a memorial asking Congress to give the Terri tory control of fish and game.
 Women's Wages
 Senator Rodens Senate bill No. 52, setting minimum wage of SIS a week for women workers, came from the Mining and Labor Com mittee with recommendation that it pass. The Committee also gave a go-ahead signal on Senator Rivers memorial to exempt the placer gold mining industry from provisions of the wages and hours act. Represen- tative Harvey Smiths House bill No. 19 requiring employers to report an- nually on the number of employees by residence and citizenship was re- turned by the Mining and Labor Committee without recommendation
 With recommendation" report was attached also to Senate joint resolution No. 4, asking expenditure of $3,000 in entertaining members of the National Editorial Association, and Senate bill No. 46 asking pay ment to three Individuals of $1 ,363.51 for a steam heating plant installed in the Territorial building, which were returned to the Senate floor today by the Finance Committee.
 Doctor Bilr Rejected
 The Committee turned thumbs down on Senate bill No. 48 which would appropriate $50 to reimburse Dr, w. w Council for a trip made to Washington in connection with public health work.
 The Senate today voted to concur in minor amendments made by the House in Senate bill No. 23, dealing with agricultural fairs.
 Rules were amended today, by un- animous consent, to allow introduc- tion of bills until the 46th day of the sesiOn, Thursday.
 A telegram from Alaska Delegate Anthony J. Dimond asking continu- ation of the work of the Territorial Planning Council was read. Dimond said the work was of outstanding value especially because the report of the National Resources Commit tee is in several respects inadequate and misleading"
 The Senate adjourned until II O. clock tomorrow morning.
