How to Put Up with
Women's Styles
ddpertisemeM

Perhaps the way somebody dresses
isn't always to our taste-Just as
Wills glass of beer may be another
PERSONS cider.
But from where I sit, those little
differences aren't important-un-
less we go out of our way to make
them so, by being hypercritical.
AS Will says now: "Well, anyway,
those long skirts hide a multitude
of shins".. and lets it go at that!

Development of the Eye

The eye is not anatomically de-
veloped until the 18th week after
birth. Little by little, the child
learns to coordinate the eyes and
brain by practice, until his visual
apparatus can discriminate size,
shape, color, distance and motion.
During %pre-school years, a child's
vision constantly is developing.
Young children are normally far
sighted. The eye itself is only an
instrument of vision. Sight is a brain
process depending for its correct
f%unctioning on the normal reaction
of the nervous system.

With a wonderful cast, and under
wonderful direction, the Grammatical
ton of the three act comedy, Stage
Door," by Edna Ferber and George
Kaufman, proved a great success
last Friday evening when it was
produced on the stage of HIS. in
a very effective senior class play.
Jane Sweigert played the leading
role of Terry Randall, struggling

stole the show with her hard boiled
act as Judith Garfield.

right, was that of Kaye Hamilton,
which was played by Alice Lusby.
1t was the role of sad girl who
took to Broadway as last hope to
escape her tragic lifes It only caused
her more sorrow and finally suicide.
Alice was wonderful.
An acid temper had Jean Matt
land and it was superbly brought
out by 10 Ann Beachley, who ably
played the part Of a ham actress
who decided to go to Hollywood with
a payroll "cming in every week
whether you work or not"
Betsy Carmen also played a good
role as Bernice Niemeyer, a nosey
little old somebody who got on
everybody's nerves.
As David Kingsley, Terry Ran
dall's favorite movie producer, Dick
Springler made big hit with the
audience, especially in the third act
when he made Terry a star in a First
class play.
The supporting cast included: Joan
Poole as Olga Brandt; Lou Beer as
Susan Paige; June Carr as Matte
the colored maid Lucille Geiselman
as Mary Harper; Barbara Hickman

Firing tests with coke briquettes
are now being conducted by the

tests have resulted in the dis
covery of a firing method that is
new in Sweden. If it can be applied
to other kinds of fuels it may
greatly improve the entire fuel
situation during the coming winter,
according to heating experts. The
principle of the new method is
that of combustion from above.
The upper part of the furnace is
kindled instead of the lower part.
So fare it has been trie d
out only with coke briquettes and
pit coal, but the experiments are
being continued. The saving in
fuel has been as high as ten per
cent.
