If each young school age person
had their eyes fully treated with At
rOpine, the glasses that let them see
alyzed would be the exact error and
you would find at least three-fourths
with the enormous error Of over
three diopters. These large errors
must tension several sets of muscles
to get eyes in focus or you could not
see letters two feet high across the
street. No one can hold these mus
cles tensioned all day for long with
out muscles cramping to that posi-
ton. Eyes cramped to a perfect TO-
Gus see perfect they never hurt
after cramping, so the worst eyes of
young people are called perfect.
If small part of an enormous
error remains uncramped this small
active part will tire and hurt. Wear
glasses to cover this small amount
and the hurting stops. This is what
people are getting for eve correc-
tion. The great big cramped nine
tenths Of young eye error Is not
touched. Thus million dollars
worth of health is lost.

Chief Gunner E. T. Piner doesn't
claim to turn out gun crews to rival
the Navy in the jam packed hours
of training he gives his men.
The apprentice seamen here get
only two weeks of gunnery in their
three month course. The advanced
students-men who have been to sea
at least a year-get a months in
struction in gunnery.
Two weeks isn't near enough to
make expert gunners out OF them, V
Chief Gunner Piner says. I'VE have
to pound SO much in too short a
time
Soon Learns His Job.
But We get man so that when
he is put in a gun crew he knows
his station and it doesn't take him
long to learn his job"
Mr.. Piner and his two assistants
hound their students with the basic
essential of the gun crew-obeying
commands Ito the letter" Although
many of the Hoffman Island grad
yates join the Naval Reserve, Mr..
Piner's aim is not fitting men for
Combatant duty but training for
armed guard duty on merchant ves-
sells"
Testimony to this Coast Guards
mans training is the fact that one
or two of his former students are
drawing extra pay as both seamen
and gunners on Canadian tankers
The school command does not en-
courage such employment, because
that's not what we're here for"
Their sole aim is to build UP the
American merchant marine.
To this end, gunnery is only
small part of the course in seaman
ship provided by the staff officers
under Comdr. George E. McCabe,
the superintendent. and 1t. Comdr.

Gunnery Taught Seomen on Trade Ships
Schools Are Turning Out Men Trained to Protect u.
Commerce From Raiders, Subs and Planes
BY WILLIAM PINKERTON and ED
WEGMAN.

The Stars Special News Service.
HOFFMAN ISLAND, New York
Harbor, Oct. 31.-Some seamen on
Americas merchant ships are ready
to load and fire the businesslike f.
inch guns that may be mounted on
peaceful decks to protect American
commerce from surface raiders, sub
marines and aircraft.
For more than two years the Gov
ernment has been feeding into the
merchant fleet men trained in the
manual of guns.
Today this maritime service school
is training more seabound youths
in gunnery as well as seamanship at
the rate of nearly 100 a month.
Other schools at Boston, st. Peters,
burg and Huenema, Calf, offer SIM
liar training.
The threat of new dangers to mer-
chant shipping has not changed the
course of training for apprentice
seamen or for able bodied Seamen-
for sea safety and gunnery have been
part of the schedule since this school
was founded three, years ago.
No shells are fired from the sleek
4-inch gun that points its nose at
the black-hulled freighters plying in
and out of New York Harbor. The
two 3-inchers beside it are silent,
too
But they're real guns, all right.
Teamwork Is Vital.
There is much more to shooting
power packing gun than merely
pulling the trigger and looking to see
where the shell has landed.
And the vital teamwork behind
the blast-the clockwork cooper
alton of shellmen, pointers. sight
settlers and gun captain-is crammed
into the maritime course.
The men start out in classroom
bristling with armament. They learn
the feel of. pistols and rifles; take
apart Lewis machine guns mounted
for anti aircraft defense; probe the
anatomy of a 3-inch rifle of %
caliber, and level a rangefnger on
tiny swinging target of cardboard.
Outdoors, they learn to sight, point
and load the big 4-inch gun-sGpping

waves catches the landsman's atten-
ton.
Ten men thrash the water with
their long oars, while another stands
erect in the stern, guiding the boat
with steering oar.
Weather seldom hampers the life
boat drill. Offlcers are pleased that
the northeasters of New York Har-
Dor sometimes simulate "sea condi-
tions." And the men put out in their
little white boats in rain and in snow
as well as under sun.
Last winter we never had to
knock off boat drill a single day."
Comdr. McCabe reports.
The piers of the island are lined
with quadrant davits-the kind of
lifeboat racks most common on
American freighters.
Once they have learned to launch
their surf boats from the piers
the men practice the more difficult
art of launching boat from a NOV
ing vessel-in this case, a Coast
GuarQ cutter.
Lifeboat Practice.
"Lifeboat practice is the same
thing for us as infantry drill for the

The opposition has presented no we'll considered complete program that would better the affairs of the city and, whatever the merits of any op- position candidates, 1t cannot be denied that Mayor Murphy in the opinion of his fellow citizens has made an un- usually satisfactory record not only during this present term but during his several terms of office.
 It may be added also that there is to be reduction in the New Haven city tax rate the coming year and that there has been no curtailment of really vital needs in the public service except i'll the opinion of those who pay little or no tax themselves and forget those who do.
 The marked reduction of New Ha- ven's indebtedness accompanied by a reduction of the local tax burden will, in view of the distressing and over whelming increase in federal taxation the coming year, be welcome news to the people of this city. They are likely to show their appreciation of this rec ord by re-electing MT. Murphy, who has shown himself well qualified to handle the financial affairs of New Haven

 A GOOD TURN FOR ALL
 For many years the labor and liberal movement has had to force business to accept such re- forms as workmen's compensa- tiOn-which later proved to be a boon to employers. This may be another chance for labor to com pei employers to do themselves good turn.

Needy Cared For

The City of New Haven, under the direction of Mayor Murphy, has successfully coped with the tremendous task of giving adequate aid to its worthy dependents without unduly burden ing the taxpayer This has been achieved by the purchase of supplies at as low rate as possible, consistent with satisfactory quality.
 Mayor Murphy has seen to 1t that no person in the City of New Haven has been without the necessities of life and he will continue to recognize the citys responsibility to feed, clothe and house the needy but will be mindful always that the taxpayers must bear the expense.

HousiingCiiven Priority For
 Defense Men
Homes Renting For $50 Or Less Will Be Given
 Preference

WASHINGTON. = Badly needed housing for defense workers was speeded here somewhat as the O.P.M issued priorities rating giving first call on materials to houses being built in defense areas.
 At the same time it was esti- mated that at least 100000 new homes are needed in PTS 'de- fense housing critical areas"
 Under the priorities order, houses costing less than $6,OOO OF renting for $50 a month or less will be given preference in obtaining materials. Houses costing more than those amounts will have to wait.
 In charge of the priorities system will be Charles F. Palmer, defense housing coordinator and ex-Atlanta real estate man who has been under fire from labor and other organiza- tions for his failure to speed construc- tion.
 To obtain first call on needed build ing materials, builders must show that the project is within a reasonable committing distance from defense en- ployment and that the prospective ten ants are defense workers. Applica- tions are filed with the local office of the Federal Housing Administra- ton and are reviewed by Palmer's of- fra

CTS stayed home because of sick ness. It was cheaper to prevent or cure illness than to stand the loss from idle machinery or pro- ductiOn slOwdOwns due to shift ing personnel.
 Families were included in the plans because these employers were smart enough to realize that a workers efficiency is in- jured by constant worry over ilI- ness and medical expenses at home.
 BETTER RELATIONSHIP
 Another, and by no means second ary, reason was a desire to build { better relationship with labor. Thirty years ago one employer was hamperet by a complete labor turnover abou three times a year. Since establishing a health plan, annual turnover ha! been cut to only 8 per cent.

Debt Reduction

Since 1882, when Mayor Murphy took office, the debt of the city has been reduced $8, los, ,5o8.98. Because of this reduction in- terest charges to the city for 1888 will be $428, ,394.33 less than in 1882.
 The tax rate for next year has been reduced one mill, which will benefit both property own CTS and rent payers. An increase of 10 per cent in wages has been granted to city employees for 1912, and for October November, and December of this year five per cent salary increase has been given city employees.
