THERE IS A LEAGUE OF NATIONS
x They keep on joining.
Norway joins Denmark and Sweden in deciding by a large ma
jority in favor of joining the League of Nations without reservations;
the vote in the Storthing last week was 100 to 20, 18 of the opponents
being Socialists and the other two extreme conservatives. In Swit
zerland the State Council last week took similar action, following
' that of the National Council; the vote was 30 to 6. In none of these
countries is the league of nations or its covenant accepted as perfect;
on the contrary criticism has been quite as acute and searching as in
this country.
When a Feller
Needs A
Friend
When a fellow really needs
a friend is when, because of
weakened eyes, he must have
someone else read to him.
So many people, because of
neglect of their eyes in ear
lier life, are now depending
upon others.
Had they provided the friend
liness of glasses to their eyes
at the right time in their
life, they would still be en
joying good eyesight and in
dependence. An examination will reveal
the true condition of one's
eyes. It's a little thing to
seek, but a big thing to get.
