Here's How to Make Your Goggles Last Lots Longer

1. Don't let dust, dirt and grease stay on goggles longer than neces- sary. Keep them clean. Wash daily with soap and water, scrub ping eyecups, lens rings. side screens and even the lenses, if nec- eSsary, with a stiff brush. When drying, be sure to use a soft, clean cloth, free from grit.
 2. In sterilizing goggles, remove headband.
 3. Never lay goggles face down ward on desk, table or floor. Grit may scratch the ground and pol ished surface of the lenses. thus reducing or distorting vision.
 4. In handling goggles, do not permit hands to come in contact with lenses. Hands may be gritty enough to scratch the highly pol iShed surface of the lenses. 5. Don't twist headband. It should lie flat against the head when goggles are worn.
 6. Don't throw goggles in tool box or hang them on a nail. Keep them in a case. They should be handled like personal eyeglasses.
 7. Experience shows that goggles which are properly fitted, last long CT than goggles which do not fit. Therefore, to make goggles last longer, keep your goggles in prop CT adjustment. This applies es- pecially to spectacle type goggles.
 8. Oils. acids. greases, paints. tars, etc, have destructive effect on the eyecups, leather and metal parts. and on the headband. Strong acids may even attack the glass lenses. Therefore, if material of this type spatters on goggles. it should be wiped or washed away immediately.

Realizing the necessity of good food properly prepared and served and, of in-between feeding as rec commended by the government and all nutritionists, to keep energy and production at its peak, Electric Boat was quick to see the neces- sity of the most modern equipment for the proper preparation of the food for their ever expanding per- Sonnel of men and women workers. They feel > that it pays dividends in increased production because contented workers appreciate con- sideration and work harder and produce more. And there is one thing sure, you just don't get the best production out of Jagged out workers.
 Their newest Cafeteria. in the new Victory Yard. which augments bhe already enlarged one in the South Yard and the Pantries and Rolling Wagons scattered through out all yards. was opened recently.
 It is very doubtful if there is anywhere in the east, including the finest hotels. such a complete combination of the most modern kitchen and serving equipment. It is truly a model of modernity. Be- ginning with the huge walk-in re- frigerators where the food Is prop eriy stored, you then see a whole battery of the most ultra-modern

Low Pay Rates Cited
Declaring the Fundamental cause
for the failure or refusal of workers

of the railroads in the last year or

working conditions generally prevail

citation wrote Eastman:
Nearly one-haIf of the total number
of persons engaged in railway employ
ment still receive wage rates of less

are paid less than 30 cents an hour.
Highly skilled journeymen me
chanics are being paid wage rates

the generally prevailing level of wages
for such occupations. and even less
than the rate generally in effect for
so-callcd common labor.
Big Turnover Is Result

the lack of proper payment for over
time services tend To make the law

 Heart failure associated with a congestion of blood in the lungs may cause cardiac asthma. Sensi- tivity to innumerable foreign substances, such as animal dander and pollens, may induce reflex spasm of the fine, lattice-like mus cles that surround the bronchi. Oc- castonally, nervous or emotional disturbances can cause this mus cle spasm. There is a strong he- reditary tendency that makes pos sible the occurrence of asthma in some people and not in others whc have a similar environment.
 SYMPTOMS OF ASTHMA
 In asthma, the difficulty in breath ing is experienced both on inspira- ton and expiration, but since nor mally the bronchioles tend to nar- row during expiration, the maximum effort Is noticed when exhaling.
