UNCLE RAYS CORNER

Like other countries OF Western
Europe, France used to have many
castles. These were the homes of
princes and mobiles.
The word castle" came from the
Latin language and means Strong
hold" or place with fort" That
gives an important fact about cas-
tles-they were built in q way to
hold of the enemy.
The heavy castle walls guarded
against battering rams. They were
50 thick and strong that it was
hard, If not impossible, to break
them down.
The walls were high as we'll as
thick. When soldiers tried to climb
over them they needed ladders or
some other help to reach the top.
The defenders might shoot the at
tackers with arrows, or might strike
them with spears.
Towers gave the archers places
from which they could fire their ar
rows with safety to themselves. They
usually stayed inside the towers
and did their shooting through
small holes made for that special
purpose.
almost every castle had q moat
around 1t. This was broad ditch
usually filled with water. Attack
ers had wet time when they tried
to rush through a water-filled moat!
5tTo 60 in and out of the castle

Don't Take Ny
Word for 1t
BY FRANK COLBY.
Optometrist
Optometrist
Noun. One wto examines the eyes

Noun. One wto examines the eyes.
A commonly heard mispronuncia-
ton is "op-to-MET-trist." This
word should be accented only on
the second, or tom" syllable.
A St. Louis reader makes this
excellent suggestion: Explain for
your readers the difference between
oculist, optician and optometrist.
An oculist is physician who spe-
cializes in the study and treatment
Of defects and diseases of the eye.
An optician is not an "eye doc
tor: he makes or deals in optical
glasses and instruments.
An optometrist examines the eyes
by means of instruments, appliances
and charts for the purpose of pre-
scribing glasses. He does not treat"
the eyes, prescribe any medicine, or
perform any surgery.
How to use the words: THE op-
tometrist examined my eyes and
found them diseased; on his advice
I consulted an oculist who treated
my: eyes and prescribed glasses
which were made by an optcian."
Correct pronunciation: Op-T TOM
ee-trist.

-Ditches Helped Save Castles

would surround the castle, hoping
to starve those inside into surren-
der. In that case the question was
one of how much food there was
on hand in the castle. In some
cases castles held out month after
month until at last the enemy
gave up hope and went away.
Among the famous French cas-
ties Is one at the old city Of Car
cassonne. It was the stronghold of
q line Of mobiles known as wis
counts" The city still exists, un-
der the same name, and now COR
tains about IS 900 people. High,
strong walls around the city and
castle have been repaired. A visi-
tor may count 81 sturdy towers.
Carcassonne dates back more than
400 years.
