When children 's eyes become crossed one of them performs the
visual function while the other one lies idle. When and organ ceases
to function for several months or years weakness is one of the bad
results.
Eyes that are straightened by my methods are gradually developed
so that the weak eye takes up its work in a natural way and through
proper exercise becomes strong once more. Do not hesitate to have
your childs eyes carefully examined and cared for before too much
damage has been done to the delicate muscles and nerve structure.
Good results assured, as a result of 19 years practical experience.

THERE IS NOTHING THE MATTER WITH OREGON EXCEPT:
That entirely too many of us get up in the morning at the alarm of a Con
necticut Clock, button a pair of Ohio Suspenders to Chicago Trousers,
put on a pair of shoes made in Boston, wash in a Pittsburg Tin Basin,
using Cincinnati Soap, and a cotton towel made in New Hampshire; sit
down to a Grand Rapids Table, eat pancakes made with Minneapolis
Flour, and Kansas City Bacon fried on a St. Louis Stove; buy fruit put
up in California or New York, seasoned with Rhode Island Spices, put
on a hat made in Philadelphia, hitch a Missouri Mule fed on Iowa corn in
a Vermont Harness to an Ohio Plow and work hard all day long on a
farm covered with a Massachussetts Mortgage; send our Fire Insurance
Money to San Francisco, Hartford, London or Shanghai, and at night
crawl under a New Jersey Blanket and be kept awake by a dog the only
home product on the place wondering all the while why ready money
isn't more plentiful.

Story of Electric
Light Told on Film
So closely associated has been the
name of Edison 'with the development
of electric light that most persons
would probably credit the wizard of
East Orange with being the inventor
of this form of illumination. The el
ectric light, however, had its begin
ning many years before the name of
Edison was known. This is one of
the interesting facts brought out pic
torially through the Willard series of
educational films which are being
screened regularly at the Liberty
theater.
The film for this week is "Charcoal
Light." It deals with what was vir
tually the beginning of the electric
arc lamp early in the last century.
The central figure in the story is Sir
Humphrey Davy, a Cornish scientist,
who conceived the idea that a brill
iant lfght could be produced by heat
ing charcoal to an intense degree.
How he worked out his idea to a
gratifying end is pictured with evi
dent attention to detail both as to
character and sets.
As was the case with -the other
Willard films presenting outstanding
figures in the history of electrical de
velopment, researchers were made to
provide complete data regarding the
appearance of the principal character,
and the apparatus with which he
worked. Then an actor was selected
who could make up to look like Sir
Humphrey Davy, while properties
were obtained from museums, private
collections or otherwise to make the
representation authentic. Everything
shown in the films is as nearly accur
ate in its appearance as careful stag
ing and directing could make it

THE DRAGON
I am more powerful than the combined armies of the world. I
have destroyed more than all the wars of the world. I am more
deadly than bullets, and I have wrecked more homes than the
mightiest of siege guns. I steal in the United States alone
over $500,000,000 each year. I spare no one, and I find my vic
tims among the rich and poor alike; the young and the old, the
strong and the weak, widows and orphans know me. I loom
Up to such proportions that I go Into every corner of the earth
leaving behind me destroyed homes, factories, ships, cities or
anything that may get In my path. I am your worst enemy, but
yet few take the necessary precaution to avoid me.
