Plastic Eyeba|| Lenses
Used by Canada's Pilots

Many Canadian Warplane pilots
who otherwise would have been lost
to the service are being saved by use
of plastic lenses fitted over the eye
balls to correct defective vision.
Today faulty vision rules out of
the flying services many thousands
of men. Approximately 80 per cent
of the applicants for the United
States Army Air Corps are rejected
on this account. Although perfect
correction may be obtained by the
use of glasses, the Army forbids
their use and so did the Canadian
R. A. F. Glasses may become
logged, oil-spattered, dislodged or
broken.
Canadian authorities, loathe to
pass up SO large a proportion of
potential pilot material, turned to
the new plastic lens as a solution.
They adopted a type developed by
a New York optometrist from the
new plastic material, plexiglass,
which is claimed to be clearer and
lighter than optical glass and prac-
tically unbreakable. 1t can be
easily shaped and formed to fit
these contact" lenses ride the eye
ball on film of tears. They can
scarcely be detected even at close
range and in many cases provide
better vision than conventional
SpectacleS. it is said
University of Montreal optometry
experts have been equipped to fit
the new lenses and a number of
student pilots already have been
supplied with them and accepted
for training.

By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, June 5.-Arthur
. Curtiss James, whose business was
In trains and whose pleasure was in
: yachts, died last night. one of the
Nations wealthiest but least-knoWn
industrialists
Pneumonia won a week-long siege
with the 74-year-old railroad builder
at Harkness Pavilion. His death
followed by 20 days that of his wife,
the former Harriet Eddy Parsons.
At the deathbed was William W.

arnassing a fabulous rail fortune

funeral services would be at the

Saturday.
Inherited Metal Fortune.
Despite his financial philanthropic,
social and yachting activities, the
rail Titan's quiet unobtrusiveness
kept him almost completely out
of the public eye, and he was better
known as a yachtsman than a cap
italist. He was one of the II richest
men IN America.
Mr.. James great wealth-at one
time estimated at $3.50 900 900 in 40,-
600 miles or about seventh of the
country's total railroad mileage
stemmed from inherited copper. sill
yer and gold mines and rail securi-
ties.
Mr.. James worked up the ladder
the hard way for 20 years following
his graduation from Amherst. At
the height of his career he tried
and failed to make real the dreams
of another product of the same
era and area. James E. Hill, who
strove to bind the Northwest rail-
roads into one system which would
dominate the entire inland empire.
The grandson of Daniel James,
founder of what is now the Phelps
Dodge mining empire, and son of
D. Willis James, who helped de-
velop Northwestern railroads. con-
centrated both fortunes chiefly in
rail investment.
Gave Millions to Charity.
Mr.. James philanthropies ran into
the donation of millions to educa-
tional and cultural institutions, hos
pitals and childrens causes. He
was childless.
Famed in yachting circles, he
twice sailed round the world in his
beautiful square-rigged Aloha, and
once ran her from New York to

To An AskOv Lad

proved fatal to Carl Christensen, IT.
year old son of Mr.. and Mrs. S. j.
Christensen of Askov, Monday fore
noon. The gasoline motor of wash
ing machine was left running and
all openings around the windows and
door sealed so that the fumes would
not escape.
Carl later crawled under a porch
to see that everything was tight in
the foundation of the house but some
of the gas evidently seeped out there
Complaining of severe headache and
drowsiness when he returned to the
house he again went outdoors where
he collapsed. He was rushed to the
village for medical attention and

Asks For Return
OF Truck Blanks
War Department Asks Ac-
curate Inventory of Com
mercial Vehicles.

Because an accurate inventory of
commercial vehicles is absolutely es-
sential as a basis for many of the
plans that are now being made to
meet any serious national emergen-
cy, Minnesota truck and bus owners
were this week urged to return
promptly the questionnaires already
received by them in conjunction with
the nationwide truck and bus CEN
sus.
More than 100000 questionnaires
have been distributed from st. Paul
to all Minnesota farmers and others
who own trucks. The survey has
been requested by the War depart
ment and the National Defense Ad-
visory commission.
A WPA Project.
The Minnesota survey is being
handled for the War department by
a WPA project in st. Paul. Returned
questionnaires will be sorted, ana
lyzed and then forwarded to Phila-
delphia. A national and regional list
of trucks and buses according to type,
capacity and location will then be
prepared. When the army wants to
hire or lease some trucks it will be
able to find them.
The survey will also be used by
the Central Motor Transportation
Committee in Washington, and it's re-
gional committee in Minneapolis
which were organized this year to
promote the maximum utilization of
motor trucks at their peak efficiency.
One of the key questions on the
card forms received by truck own
ers is "In case of emergency, would
you voluntarily hire or lease the We
hicle to a Federal agency?" In case
of emergency vital agency will
know where it can get trucks of a
specific type, capacity and so on.

Saturday Set AS
Contribution Day

Saturday, October 18, has been
designated as Askov "Hot Lunch day"
On that day all families in the Askov
community interested in seeing a hot
dish served daily to pupils during the
noon hour will be given an oppor-
tunity to contribute to the cause.
The Askov town hall will be open
all day Saturday until 9 p. M, and
contributions may be left there in the
care of volunteer workers who will
be on duty. Particularly desired con-
tributions are canned tomatoes and
potatoes, carrots and onions.
In deciding how much to contribute,
the public is urged to keep in mind
that approximately $50 pupils will be
served daily, and that considerable
quantities of goods will therefore be
needed.
It is expected that the lunch pro-
gram will be underway in the Askov
school within a short time.

age, and a resident of the Bruno COM

automobile accident 10 years ago,
steadily declining in health since that

Angeline Peasley and to this union
three children were born. They are

Mr. Gage worked at his trade a
number of years in Chicago, Moline

moved to Clear Lake, Wis, and pur-
chased small farm, later going to
Montana. They came to Minnesota
in 1916, locating at Hinckley, living
there until four years ago when they
moved to Bruno.
Together with the children Mrs.
Gage is left to mourn the demise of
a kind and loving husband and faith
er. They have the sympathy of their
friends in the Bruno and Hinckley
communities in their sad loss.
