As results of this abuse and flagrant disregard of eye conservation, actually thousands of persons unconsciously are a menace to themselves and those with whom they come into contact daily! What can we do about it? Laws should be enacted in every one of our forty-eight states requiring periodic optometrlc visual analysis and correction of all visual faults before Issuing a license to any. driver. But for the sake of our, personal pride In our efficient handling: of our work and our play also each of us should have a yearly of TWs Is National "SAYP VQUR VISION" week. Walter B. Pitkin says: "With efficient vision you prolong your working life you can read mere, study more, know more.

The producer asked her if she bad attended certain ball. She replied that she had, that she bad Worn new dress, snd that "Solomon in all his glory bad nothing on me." "Solomon," the movie producer turned to his wife. "The Solomons, dear," he puzzled. "Do we know any movie people named Solomon?"
