ORE OU may have noticed that optometrists talk more about Y “E ” and “E ” and yesight yes When the Engine Stalls on . Dead Man’s Curve! “S ervice ” than they do about glasses. A Thia becauae optomet iMa have something more important than zla>WH to talk about. cSb HEY climb aboard their loaded truck at sundown, fifteen miles behind the lines. They rumble through the winding streets, out on white road that leads to Germany! The man at the wheel used to be a broker in Philadelphia. Beside him sits an accountant from Chicago. A news paper man from the Pacific Coast is the third. Now they all wear the uni form of one of these organizations. The road sweeps round a village and on a tree is nailed a sign: “Attention! L’Ennemi Vo us Voit! The Enemy Sees You!” They glance far up ahead and there, suspended in the evening light, they see a Hun balloon. “Say, we can see him plain tonight!” murmurs the accountant from Chicago. "And don’t forget,” replies the Phila delphia broker, “that he can see us just as plain.” The packing cases creak and groan, the truck plods on—straight toward that hanging menace. They reach another village—where heaps of stone stand under crumpled walls. Then up they go, through the strange silence broken only when a great pro jectile inscribes its arc of sound far overhead. They reach a turn. They take it They face a heavy incline. For half a mile it stretches and they know the Germans have the range of every inch of it The mountain over there is where the big Boches’ guns are fired. This incline is their target. The three men on the truck bring up their gas masks to the alert settle their steel helmets closer on their heads. At first the camion holds its speed. Then it slackens off. The driver grabs his gear-shift, kicks out his clutch. The engine heaves—and heaves—and stalls! “Quick! Spin it!” calls the driver. The California journalist has jumped. He tugs at the big crank. “ Wh-r-r-r-r-r-r-room I ” T The shell breaks fifty yards behind. Another digs a hole beside the road just on ahead. And then the engine comes to life. It crunches, groans and answers. Slowly, with maddening lack of haste, it rumbles on. “Wh-r-r-oom!” That one was close behind. The fragments of the shell are rattling on the truck. the Now shells are falling, further back along the road. And the driver feels the summit as his wheels begin to pick up speed. Straight down a village street in which the buildings are only skeletons of buildings. He wheels into the court yard of a great shell-tom chateau. “Well, you made it again I see!” says a smiling face under a tin hat—a face that used to look out over a congrega tion in Rochester. “Yep!” says the driver glancing at his watch. “And we came up Dead Man’s Curve in less than three minutes —including one stall!” * * * * Later that night two American boys, fresh from the trenches bordering that shattered town, stumble up the stairs of the chateau, into a sandbagged room where the Rochester minister has his canteen. “Get any supplies tonight?” they ask. “You bet I did!” is the answer, “What will you have?” “What’s those? Canned peaches? Gimme some. Package of American cigarettes—let’s see—an’ a cake of chocolate—an* some of them cookies!” “Gosh!” says the other youngster when his wants are filled. “What would we do without you?” * * * • You hear that up and down the front, a dozen times a night—“What would we do without them?” Men and women in these organiza tions are risking their lives tonight to carry up supplies to the soldiers. Trucks and camionettes are creeping up as close as any transportation is permitted. Any optical place is suppoaed to have eyeglasses and not carpets or furniture. Optometrists naturally attach more importance to what you want when your eyes trouble you—which is com- fortfand satisfaction and quality and service. A That a what you get from compe tent optometrists. (.lasers are the tools, and the frames and the mount ings, the mechanical contrivances, which properly and scientifically handled, bring comfort and satisfac tion. The Optical Shop OK. GEO. H. PRATT ORTOMETRIST 3-’o Alder Street PORTLAND, OREGON From there these people are carrying up to the gun-nests, through woods, across open fields, into the trenches. The boys are being served wherever they go. Things to eat, things to read, things to smoke, are being carried up everywhere along the line. With new troops pouring into France, new supplies must be sent, more men and women by the hundreds must be enlisted. They are ready to give every thing.
