Faulty Vision Retards
 Progress Of Children
2O% of oYungsters in School Classified as Having
 Impaired Eye-Sight- Frequent Examinations

that eyesight may have an import ant bearing on character building, and that a child struggling against this defect becomes not only a rebellious one. Truant Offlcer and Juvenile Delinquent records are full of examples of boys and girls who "went wrong" because of the inno- cent error of faulty vision. Poor posture is another frequent indica- ton of sub-normal eyes. The child, in an effort to read with less dif- culty, bends farther over his desk or book, thus getting into sloppy, stoop shouldered habits.
 Many eye defects are not appar- ent on the surface, while some can be easily corrected if caught in the early stages. So if you want to play safe with your child's health and comfort, have his or her eyes ex- amined immediately. If your child IS now wearing glasses, be sure to have eyes often change with time. Con- sequently, glasses fitted more than two years ago may no longer be giving your child's eyes the help they need.
 Another thing to watch is the light that your child reads or studies under. There should be plenty of illumination but no glare. So remember, think about your childs eyes-and by all means, have them examined at regular intervals.

about 1eS of 1t Is spent in prepar- ing the children's eyes for the task of daily studying.
 The importance of this strangely low figure becomes especially mo- ticeable when you realize that ape proximately 20 per cent of all pub- lie school children have faulty vision, that over 100000 are &C., tually retarded one or more grades due to incorrect sight and that the percentage of students who need eye care become increasingly great CT when you study the high school and college groups.
 Mothers take pains to see that their children are carefully clothed and equipped for school, but often fail to think about the child's eyes. This important duty Is usually neg lected until the youngster begins to complain about headaches and dizziness, or until poor grades or an actual report from the teacher that Johnny can't see the black board" makes them sit up and take notice.
 Defective vision can do many things to your child, besides the eye strain. fatigue and headacres that generally go with such a con. dition. Poor classroom work and lack of adaptability on the play ground often give child a feeling Of inferiority, making them dislike school and the society of his or her classmates. Many authorities agree

SIMPLE RULES

Happiness Depends on Health; Common Sense
 Dictates Checkups

Health and happinessl Happiness and healthl Our children cannot have their full measure of one with out the other; and while happiness is elusive and comparative, health is accessible, easily acquired and def- mite if we know the rules and obey them. The rules are few and sina- pie; the proper food, fresh air and sunsine, exercise and the right kind of clothing.
 The average mother has Q keen sense of duty toward her children and 1t is only her lack of knowledge, when this duty is first thrust upon her, that prevents her from bring ing up the baby in model fashion. Tn these days of artificial living 1t requires constant watchfulness and hard work and devotion to carry the child through infancy and childhood in such 0 manner that he may reach adult life sound In body and in mind. The more f1or- mai the individual the better chance he has to succeed in later life.

mand was associated with the idea
that the market would not have to

Reasoning to this effect was based
in part on the large working cash
balance reported in the Treasury

Trading in foreign issues was

NEW YORK, June 26.-E. I. du
Pont de Nemours & Co. was report
ed today as completing negotia-
tions for % acres near Detroit on
which to build a new chemical plant
to make chlorinated solvents and
other specialties for the automotive
and metal industries.
While plans have not been COM
pleted, it was expected that the new
plant would occupy land near the
water front.
Chlorinated solvents are used
largely by the motor industry to
remove grease from castings. The
r. e. H. department of Du Pont
also makes cyanides, case harden
ing compounds, metallic sodium and
ceramic colors
The new plant might require
larger chlorine capacity in the De-
troit area since there has been an
increasing shortage of that chemi-
cal which has been used increasingly
In chemical processes.
It is reported that Michigan
Alkah Co, one of the largest pro-
ducers of alkalis and chlorine. Is
considering expanding its chlorine
capacity, possibly with Detroit as a
location.
