Reading is enjoyed by many
children on vacation. They are
likely to find a pleasant spot in
the shade, or perhaps they may
prefer a corner of the sitting
room. But at times they will
become so intent on a story that
they will sit in the sun and
squint at the pages; they should
be told that this is harmful to
their eyesight. It would be we'll
for all young people to have the
proper light when reading.
There are some publications,
poorly printed, that are not good
for a child's intent gaze. What
they read should be of a clear
type on mat paper.
This may be the time to de-
termine whether a youngster
suffers from any eye defects.
Does he hold his book too close,
or sidewise, or at arms length?
When. such habits are observed
the child should be taken to a
specialist mean a bona fide
oculist. I have known some par
ents who sought eyeglasses in a
shop and they picked out a pair
from a tray for their children.
This, of course, should never be
done. Don't take chances with a

child's eyes. Never think that a
child can use a pair Of glasses
his brother or sister once used.
Eyes may not even be alike in
any two children; in fact. they
probably will be very different.
Only trained oculiSt can decide
the eyeglasses needed by a child.
Children often will fight
against wearing glasses. It is
very important to overcome
such resistance. Impress upon
the youngster that many boys
and girls have had to wear
glasses for the time they needed
them and that eventually some
children managed to do without
them. Should the specialist de-
termine that child always will
need glasses. the youngster
should be taught to accept this
verdict as a prevention against
far worse sight.
Girls often object to wearing
glasses because they think it de-
tracts from their looks. Isn't
clear vision through eyeglasses
better than a Squint, or deep
frown? It may be that a girl will
need to wear glasses only for
reading. So long as she realizes
the urgency of doing this her
sight may have the chance to
improve. Again, a specialist only
will be able to decide on that.

LONDON, Aug. S (NANA) -
Group Captain Peter Townsend
is now carrying out his duties as
air attache in Brussels and has
been photographed attending
several social and of1icial events.
No comment whatever had been
made by him on the stories about
the alleged attachment between
himself and Princess Margaret,
q fact which has enhanced him
still further in the eyes Of the
British public.
Princess Margaret, back In

family. Since her return from
Rhodesia she has fulfilled several
public engagements and has Wis
tied the theater twice. It is ex-
pected that she will accompany
the other members Of the royal
family when they leave for their
summer vacation at Balmoral
Castle.
The announcement by r. A.
Butler in the House of Commons
on July ~ that q new bill to
amend the Regency Act of 1897
would be introduced before the
queen leaves for her tour of
Australia on November ~ caused
the American press, ut any rate,
to Jump to the conclusion that
the amendment was specifically
designed to make it easier for
Princess Margaret to marry
Peter Townsend.
In fact such an amendment
has been under Government
consideration since shortly after
the queens accession to the
throne and was among the mat
ters discussed with the Common
wealth prime ministers when
they were in London for the
coronation.
Under the present Regency
Act, Princess Margaret would
become Regent should Prince
Charles come to the throne be-
fore he is 18 or if the queen
became so i'll as to be quite in
capable of ruling. The act pro-
videS that the person next in
succession to the throne, who is
of age, should become Regent |
if the occasion arises.
Duke as Regent?
1t is now proposed that the |
Duke of Edinburgh should be-
come Regent if the queen dies
before her son is of age, a step
which has met with the complete
approval of the royal family. It
has been pointed out, quite
rightly, that it is more suitable
that the Regency should be held |
by Prince Charles father who,
after all, would be responsible
for his education and upbring-
ing. rather than his young aunt.
Although such an amendment |
would move one possible consti- |
tutional objection to a marriage |
between Princess Margaret and
Townsend it is nonsense to Sug-
sest that the government had |
any such marriage in mind when !
considering the bill.

Meet Tom Brigance! He's a
. young man with an idea that
the easy way" in fashion is not
only Smartest, but the way
American women want to look.
Easy" as interpreted by him
means clothing that is func-
tional, eye-catching. gay and
above all feminine.
This young American designer.
born in Waco. Tex, feels that
American women love clothes
that are stimulating.
He has worked in Paris and
in London, studied the methods
of leading couturiers, sold them
in turn hundreds of sketches
and watched the women who
bought their clothes. In London
he worked with the firm of
Jaeger. where he learned much
of the technique of tailoring
that he has employed with
such success in blouses, coats,
suits and beachwear. Frills and
frou-frou are ruled out with
Brigance sticking to his credo
that simplicity and beauty of
lines are more important than
temporary trends"
This thinking in turn produces
notable trends in its own right.
A number of local stores are
featuring the resort and early
spring Brigance line. Included
are his wonderful cottons with

calls them, plus other nature

About furniture, I don't

both furnished and unfur-

Gus, we will still be 3 feet
lower than our neighbor. We
can't very we'll ask the neigh
Dor to regrade his property
(Which itself slants toward us).
Shall I dig a trench between
the two properties? How deep?
Can anything be planted in the
trench so it won't look ugly,
since to carry off the water we
would have to have a trench
from the rear of the lot to the
front curb. Has any one had
this problem and been able to
solve it? Perhaps there is a
better way than I can think of.
Also, we have tall pine trees
in the rear yard of which we
are fond. Are there some
things which will not grow be-
meath them? Can I get grass
to grow beneath pine trees?
Do the needles lying on the

little as possible to your oil

Der on them first after
they're thoroughly busted;
you might then try xylene.
Use it lightly and sparingly on
a piece of cotton and do not
rub. If that doesn't work, there
are other stronger media. but
the stronger solutions require
a very thorough knowledge Of
the subject and If the pictures
are valuable. it would pay you
to take them to a reputable
