This projecting or extension deck on entail boats cnilscs them to hool ovor to one stdo whon too ninny or oven ono person In n small boat walks around tho cabin. Hundreds of peoplo havo fallen In to tho wntbr of Coos Bay by reason of this careening of tho boat nnd the In cident has often been (rented as a Jckoi but in many wisps no ono wns present to seo It, and n floater on tho title flats or n pull on tho drng lino Is tho only proof tint tlroro Is another victim to innu's disregard of tho valuo of human life.

THE COMBINATION DANCES By ODGERS T. GURNEE Illustrated With Specially Posed Photographs Interesting Process by Which Glasses Are Produced! to Aid Vision- Tho process by which a pfeco of crystal glass Is transformed from n transparent bit of mnterlaf to an aid to vision when worn in tho form of glasses. Is Interesting, Tho Red Cross Drug Store has Just In stalled some comploto nnd expensive machinery for this work bo thnt a lens of any kind may be inn do quick ly nnd accurately without, having to send dway. The process is nn Interesting ono. After it has been determined by examination what kind of a lens you rcqulro, the rough glass Is ta ken nnd marked with symbols which toll tho oxpurt Ions grfndora what must bo done to give you lenses that are light, right and efficient. This Is tho first stop, grinding in tho curves. There nro no secrets In tho busi ness. Aftor n lens has been ground on both sldcB It goes to tho polisher. Hero thoy tnko rod rougo and aftor much patient work that requires constant attention polish the sur fnco of tho lens until lt Is hard ns flint and brlltlnnt ns a crystal, Skill 1st necessary In ovory step of Ions grinding. Not only nro good machines necessary, but one must hnvo skilled men to operate tho machines. After polishing tho lens Is In Bncctod to sec that It Is frco from flaws nnd bubbles. If ncrfect, tho optical contor Is determined. This roqulrcs great skill and caro Should a mlstnko bo made hero It Is very llnblo to causo you no end of troublo nnd annoyance You tuny need a round Ions, whllo nnothor may need nn oval shaped lens. Getting n Jens tho right Bhnpo and slzo has much to do with Its nppenrnnco nnd offlcloncy. Tho optlcnl contor having , been found tho lens Is so cut, by special mnchlnory, thnt tho axis Is In ac cordance with your needs. This cut ting nloo gives tho Ioiib a rough out lino or tho final shnpo. A great many times special hand work is required to give n Ions tho desired shnpe. Thon comeB tho nutomatlc "ed gor." Tho process of edging Is n dollcato ono ns It glvos thoso smooth odgos nnd tho special shnpo which It has been determined will make tho Ions look as Inconspicuous ns powblo wl)on ypu wear it. qu wouimr.c uynK It very im portant to drill a ,npl) Irr your lens, but nfter boln edgus;rottnd your lens is drilled, a dfcllmiUily adjusted diamond point drill bulhg UBOd.

In Boiiio of thotio tho totiipo of tho music c)uiuges to lit the dance, but In the later uud more complete a uuw and distinct tempo Is cairlcd through out, mid the steps are uiiulo to tit tho melody. The leading Instructors In this coun try have boon the pioneers In this mat tor, and thu Itowloj Downs' "modera tion," Vernon entitle' "half nud half" and the k,p"so cafe" of Miss Winn and Mr. Kvnns are being tiled on near ly every untieing floor In New Yoik. Philadelphia, Boston and possibly Chi cago. Awqng the earliest ones were Joan Sawyer's ''three In ono" nnd "aero plnue wnltx." These wero both tery pretty, but had ono fault In that the tempo of thu music was changed at frequent Intervals to fit tho different styles of flguros. In tho recent combinations, however, the action is unbroken throughout. Take the "moderation," for Instance This has a special melody in seven- quarter tlmo and combines tbe steps of the wnltx and (ango. On the same general principle Is tho "half and half," originated by Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Castle, This, too, has a melody all Its own in tUc-qunrtor tlmo nnd combines the Bteps of tho waits and ono step, Woui comes frpm Paris that a new dance known as "Is danso hypnotlquo" has boon Introduced there with great success. It is said to bo very dlttlcult and tho highest form attainable In sci entific dancing. The names of the fig ures toad to bear put this statement. Tho first Is "tlerntn." This Is fol lowod by "fascination," a suggestion of catalepsy, and thon "tho hypnotic stepy Then conies lethargy," The move with consciousness or accuracy. They danco becnuso tho spirit of the danco Is In them, but they do not knOw how or what tley danco.
