REMEMBER THAT Empire Tories are those Deep Curve Lenses that enables the wearer to see best in all directions with the least possible effort to the eyes and with the best possible results to the wearer, because of the clearer and wider field they cover. REMEMBER THAT Empire Glasses are furnished to the wearer as low as $3.00, $5.00 and upwards and include a Dependable Eye Examination, together with a pair of opthalmic lenses inserted in frame or mounting best adapted to your Eye Needs.

CITY A PIONEER, HE SAYS Bochester Among First to Limit Use of Fireworks Celebrations Have Been Held to Non-Dangerous Explosives Under City Ordinance Mayor Edgerton toe exception yesterday tu a recently published statement to the effect that Rochester was behind otur cities iu the adoption of an ordinance prohibiting promiscuous celebrations of the Fourth of July and that Rochester, with only one or two other cities, still allowed unlimited celebrations. The Mayor said: "Rochester is not behind other cities in providing for a safe and sane observance of the Fourth, but was one of the pioneers in this movement Roch enter does not allow unlimited celebrations with fireworks and explosives, but forbids the discharge of cannons, firearms, firecrackers loaded with explosives other than gunpowder and of firecrackers more than three inches in length. The hours in which the unprohibited fireworks may be used are restricted. Several years ago every lourth of July witnessed a long list of accidents in whicJi eyes, limbs and fingers were destroyed or mangled and other injuries received which resulted in death from iockjnw, especially through the use of cartridge pistols. Bochester's Ordinance.

"To do --away -with this loss of life and limb, I sent a communication to the Common Council asking for the adoption of a more stringent ordinance, and on July 23, 11)112, the ajderman adopted an ordinance, which is now in force, as follows: Sx'tlon 1. Hectlon twenty-Bix of Hie Or-rtlivuue Kelatlng to Public Safety and (Jood Order, as amended July 1 l'Kfli, hereby uiucnded so as to read as follows: e' Ji.

Tho mayor mny, however, by proclamation, minpend the oFeratlon of this section so na to permit the building of 1 onllres and the dis'h irgJ of cannons, firearms, or fire-'wor'ka other than firecrackers and toy pistols of the kind almve specifically prolilb-lted, at such times and places as he shau deem best.

Sec. This ordinance shall take efltct immediately. Giant Torpedo Come In. "While I have been given authonty to suspend any part of this ordinance at my pleasure, I have never exercised snch authority. Since the adoption of this ordinanco and up to last Fourth July Rochester has had safe and sane fireworks celebrations, but this year the manufacturera, cut off from the sale of thei dynamite firecrackers, invented the giant torpedo and with them hoodlums did much dnmage.

"Because of this fact I asked the Commissioner of l'uhlic Safety to inves tigate and report on wrhnt was being done in other cities to bring about safe and sane celcliration of the Fourth He gathered a mass of valuable corres pondence, inclosing ordinances in force in manyi cities, and it seemed to me that the ordinance in use in San FTan-cisco was the simplest and most deslra blc. It provides for the prohibition of fireworks displays, except In community or civic celebrations in charge of exiperts. I sent the correspondence with a communication to the council, recommending the frnming of an ordinance to meet the necessities of the city, and think the request will be acted npon.

ebrulion. The city makes appropriations for a water carnival and a music festival iu the public parks and I can see no reason why the city should not have a Fourth of Julyi celebration in one of the parks, say, for instance in Exposition Park, where there is a large grand stand and unlimited room for thousands of people to witness a firework display "The only way to act is to forbid the sale and use of all kinds of fireworks except In a public celebration in the hands of exports. If you sell children fireworks and explosives, they will use them wherever and whenever they get a chance. "I have always been in favor of doing away with the use of explosive and dangerous fireworks In the streets, and have taken steps to restrict their use as far as possible. Thnt Is why I dislike to see it stnted that Rochester, with one or two other cities has an 'unlimited' celchration of the Fourth."

Exernta from "Madcao Duchess' Herbert IS OBLIGED TO SHORTEN HOURS Production Much in Excess of Home Demand. NO SHORTAGE OF RAW STOCK Working- Hours Based on World's Demand for Kodaks, and Company Will Be Unable to Make TJp Here Sales Temporarily Lost Abroad When the employees of the Eastman Kodak Company get their pay envelopes tu-dayi they will receive a letter from George Eastman, announcing that the company hus been hit by the loss of European trade and will for a time, at least, have to limit production, which means shorter hours. The letter from the head of tins Dig concern deplores the trttuation and holds forth optimism that a normal state soon will be regained.

It follows: To our Employees: With the war conditions that now prevail In Europe, a considerable percentage of the market for products Is absolutely closed. How long this cBndltlon will continue It is Impossible to foretell How long It will take fur business to again become normal after peace Is declared it Is even more difficult to foretell. Our factory production Is based on the demand for the whole world for kodak products. In spite of the fact that our huslness In the Lulled states Is good, our ircsent production is so -much in excess of be bom demand that a curtailment has become necessary. Reduction to Meet Conditions.

Most of the manivtacturluit departments will, therefore, go on reduced time, varylutr, however, to meet the different conditions iu such departments. what we have temporarily lost In Luropo we cannot hpe to fully make up st home, but there is to be no let up In the working for more business lu the United States. Our sales and advertising departments have been Instructed not merely to continue at normal, but to nut fortn more than tho usual selling effort even when such effort means increased expenditures. ino snoiteuiug or hours has nothing to do with a shortage of lmuorted raw stocks. as bat ben retorted.

At present there is nothing to worry atsrut along such lines and there la no likelihood that there will ue. or how lone a nerlod It will neces sary to limit production It Is Impossible to tureicii. nusiues may actually in time Improve In this country as a result of the for-elaau war; new markets may open tip. Photography is progressive; there are new good things unded way even now that mnv help to offset the loss of our Kuropea'n market So far as possible, In this time ot stress, wo will make the burden as light as possible for our employees. Condition Only Temporary.

That we are Shortening hnnn Inctenrl laying off large numbers Is proof that we feel that the present condition la only And furthermore, this method of temporary curto lment seem fairest because It makes a nartinl Hon In the income of the many rather than the entire cutting off of the Income of a lesser number, who at this time might nnd It Impossible to get other employment. to organisation Intact, with the war over, we look for a 1 ever eximndlnff timrkni pruducts and shall certainlv restore tlx normal work I no- hnura Justlli -ation for so dolna. ticKuming Monday morning, certain departments will close at 3 o'clock in the afternoon: others will sro hours, either being closed certain whole aayg or earlier each day. The dennrt. ments in which the wheels of industry never cease will, put men on shorter shifts.

Necessarily, those not affected oy the war directly will keem np the old scale. Mr. Eastman is not one who believes that America in a day is going to successfully manufacture products that only years of experience abroad have turned out. The Eastern company; be lieves itself fortunate in having about a year's ripply of photographic gins and other imported materials on hand. Bastian Brothers Curtailing.

Bastinn Brothers Company has closed its typewriter key and prise ribbon departments temporarily, owing to no dembaud for either production. Typewriters have had poor sale since the outbreak of the war. due to the conserving of office funds, and necessarily this has not made the keys very valuable. Canada tins canrelled her contracts for priio ribbons that are bought for her fairs from the company. The Sill Stove Works had a fine bus-iness after the depression last winter, but the war's effects on American Industry and prices has reduced it so that now the company reports thnt it is running three nine-hour dnys a week.

Another concern to be affected by the loss of heavy foreign trade is Yawman Erbe. The lessening of sales has compelled them to run four days a week. A tone of optimism rings from tho manufacturers, however, that conditions will soon adjust themselves to hesvier production and a consequent lengthening of working hours. Meat Prices. The meat prices have dropped with us.
