Here's a short story of absorbing interest to those who want something better in glasses, at a cost which alone compels the careful consideration of those who seek the largest returns for the money invested Till? MORXIXG- OREGOXIAX, MONDAY, Amil, IT Leimses Aire vv Ai o PETITION DREAD IS PAST Analysis of Filings Shows That Approximately 9 0 Per Cent of legislative Candidates Are Pledged to Strict Economy. . SALEM. Or., April 12. (Special.) Kow that all entries are in and the voters of the state are relieved of the fear of being' pestered by circulators of petitions of aspirants for public of fice a big Increase in the registration figures Is predicted. Secretary of State Olcott announced today that the total registration as reported to him by the county clerks to date was 147,728, di vided amonir parties as follows: Re publican. 87, SIS; Democratic, 38,473; Progressive. 4445; Prohibition, 6953; Socialist, 40o3, and miscellaneous, 59Su. He believes the total registration will approximate 250,000. Attorney-General Crawford has construed the conflicting registration laws to mean that persons desiring to vote at the primary may have until May 1 to register, and the county clerks will act upon that in terpretation. The Secretary of State announces that all persons who desire candidates' pamphlets sent to them must register soon, for they are sent to only regis tered voters. The county clerks send I lists weekly of the persons registering I to the Secretary or state. Compilation la Completed. Mr. Olcott and his corps of assist ants late last night finished the task of compiling and arranging the material for the pamphlet and it now devolves upon him to determine just how many " should be printed. This, to some ex tent, will be a guess, for the booklets will be turned over to the Secretary of State by the State Printer between April 22 and April 28 and it is probabwe that the majority of them will be mailed before May 1, when the regis tration ends. That the next Legislative Assembly will enact laws making sweeping re ductions in the cost of state and county government is assured if the campaign pledges of aspirants for Representa tives in the Legislature mean anything. About 90 per cent of the persons seek ing to represent their constituencies in the State Legislature in their declara tions promise, if elected, to reduce cost of government through curtailment of commissions and boards and by ob taining the greatest possible efficiency. V hile retrenchment has been a famil iar cry of men who would serve in pub lic offices, it is pointed out that never before In this state have aspirants for office, from whom will be selected the Representatives empowered to do the paring, pledged such unanimity of ac tion. Republicans to Have 14 Pamphlets. As provided by law, there will be pamphlets for each party, the Repub lican party, because of its larger rep- - resentation, having the largest num ber 14. The Democratic pamphlet will I contain three issues, one for the First Congressional District, where Frederick liollister is an aspirant for Represen tative In Congress; one for the Third District, where Elof T. Hedlund is an aspirant for Representative in Con gress, and one for the remainder of the state. There will be but one Pro gressive pamphlet. Multnomah County, of course, will have the largest pamphlet. C. N. Gan- tenbeln, Fred L. Olson and George W.

Abbott and Arthur Langguth, aspirants for State Senator in the Thirteenth Dis trict, and George M. McBride, aspirant for the Republican nomination for State Senator in the Fourteenth District, com bining Multnomah, Clackamas and Co lumbia counties, have engaged space.

Grinding our own lenses as we do, places us in a. position to give you a guarantee of satisfaction that means some thing. After it has been determined by examination what kind of a lens yon require, we take the rough glass and mark it with symbols which tell onr expert lens grinders what mast be done to give yon lenses that are light, right and efficient. This is the first step grinding in the curves. There are no secrets in onr business. . "We supply good lenses because we do it our selves and have the facilities to do it quickly and right. After a lens has been ground on both sides it goes to the polisher. This man takes red . rouge and after much patient work that requires his con stant attention polishes the surface of the lens until it is hard as flint and brilliant as a crystal. $ SMI I ?BS SSSf tiSP m WJmm-- ilBflw wm dm ImezJlMM rJSvwJi I I Hi It A great many times we find that special hand work is re quired to give m lens the de sired shape. This man is "edging" your lens. The process of edging is a delicate one, as it gives those smooth edges and the special shape which it has been de termined will make the lens look as inconspicuous as pos sible when you wear it. Skill is necessary in every step of lens grinding. . Not only are good machines necessary, but one must have skilled men to operate the machines. After polishing, the lens is inspected to see that it is free from flaws and bubbles. If perfect, the optical center is determined. This requires great skill and care. Should a mistake be made here it is very liable to cause you no end of trouble and annoyance. This is part of our Modern Lens Grinding Plant, equipped with the latest automatic electric lens-grinding machinery Q It is right that you should share our confidence and acquaint your self with the steps necessary to make perfect eyeglasses. 9 The higher quality of our eyeglasses is not the result of secret process, but the more skillful application of known principles in the designing, grinding and adjusting of lenses. J Before the order for your lenses is given it is determined what kind, size and shaped lens is best suited to your individual needs. J The contour of your face, the outline of your nose, the distance your eyes are apart, whether your eyes are deep seated or the reverse, whether you have long or short eyelashes in fact, all details that make for better looking and more efficient eyeglasses are considered. I The illustrations given herewith will convince you that eyeglasses made under our supervision are as perfect as will and skill can make them. You wouldn't think it very im portant to drill a hole in your lens, bnt after being edge ground your lens is drilled, a delicately adjusted diamond point drill being used. The hardest part of making a lens has now been accomplished. The least slip on the part of the operator drilling a lens means that all the work mart be done over again. Your lens is now being placed in the frame or mount ing that is to be worn. This man is also an adept at re pairing broken frames and mountings in the quickest pos sible time. We have special facilities for doing repair work promptly. - You may need a round lens, while another may need an oval shaped lens. Getting a lens the right shape and size has mx-ch to do with its ap pearance and efficiency. The optical center having been found the lens is so cut, by special machinery, that the axis is in accordance with your needs. This cutting abo gives the lens a rough outline of the final shape. 7k What Are Tories? Tone lenses axe shaped like the bowl of a spoon, with the deep concave surface towards the cornea of the eye, thus pre venting reflections from the back and allowing a much wider angle of vi sion, besides bringing the lenses closer to the eyes without the lashes touching.
