The bulletin says further: The systematic examination of public school children has made it possible to detect and classify the different kinds of errors. The greater demands that are being put -upon the eyes of the chil dren together with greater use of artificial illumination hare re sulted in producing symptoms of eyestrain and fatigue. The symptoms resulting from eye strain may he local or general. The local irnntnnii ra rutnu. of the lids. Itching 'and burning. oi ma nas ana eyeballs, pain and tenderness of the globe, pain above the eyes, seeing of motes before the eyes, tendency of the eyes to cross, and temporary blurring of the vision after pro longed use of the eyes, caused by sleepiness or fatigue, or the hold ing of a book too close to the eyes. The general symptoms of eye strain may be in the form of headaches, indigestion and other conditions not ascribed to the eyes. Headaches are more fre quently caused by eyestrain than by any other cause. The head aches that last over night are usually the direct result of eye strain and are the least frequent ly recognised as being due to eyestrain. Continuance of eyestrain not corrected with properly fitting glasses may be associated with symptoms of disturbances of the stomach and Intestines. Many nervous disturbances and twitch ing of muscles may also be due to eyestrain. These clear up with the wearing of proper glasses. If the eyes of every patient were tested for acuity of vision more could be done towards the saving of eyesight and the pre vention of blindness than any other preventive means. All cases of defectiveness wonld be detected and in the majority of the cases if the patient were re ferred to an oculist, the proper glasses would be secured and worn. Progressive cities have estab lished special classes for those who are handicapped with ser iously defective eyesight. These are popularly called, "sight sav ing classes." The sight saving class helps the child by conserv ing his eyesight through elimin ating all possible eyestrain and teachiag habits of eye hygiene. This benefits his general health by saving him from the nerve strain attending the competition with the normally sighted.

It has been a restful day. unlike In outlook, either of the others. The variety of the days is one thing especially enjoyable. Just after breakfast this morn ing we drew into the station at Winnipeg. Many of our fellow passengers left us and others came on. The snow was coming down fast in big feathery flakes and all this day It has continued, some times almost turning to rain. I've jiad trees to look at all day, making up for the lack of yesterday. They were not the the great towering firs of the Pa cific cost, but smaller evergreens and birches hobnobbing together as I never saw them before. Underneath them has been the white carpet' of snow and here and there wherever there was a lower spot of land, a lonely lake has nestled. It was in summer that I saw this before, but I am glad to see the winter landscape now. Montreal "Star" Praised I hare been reading the Mon treal "Star." It comes the nearest to satisfying my longing for an Oregonian of any paper yet. They are calling dinner In the diner and I am truly glad. The meals are just splendid and serv ice fine. . I must tell you what our porter did last night. I think he feared It might be rather cool aa there was quite a sharp wind. He hung a thick wool blanket over the windows In the One of the new Pacific Fruit Express company's new refriger ator cars was on display yesterday and will be on display all day to day at the Southern Pacific freight station at Trade and Com mercial streets. Four hundred of these cars are being built In Port land for the fresh fruit and can nery shipping business in the Willamette valley, and yesterday a good many of the local canners and representatives of fruit ship pers saw the car and heard A. Johnson of the Paciric Fruit ex press' company explain its con struction and uses. These cars are the largest freight refrigerators in the coun try and were designed especially to take care of the barrelled and frozen berry shipments. They measure 37 feet six inches inside, are seven feet high and are eight feet, 11 inches wide. Each car is equipped with collapsible Ice bunkers which ran be knocked down and the entire space can be utilized for loading when refrig eration Is not required. The ice capacity is 12,600 pounds.

The decrease In the registra tion is not due to a lesser num ber of voters, but because of the recent action of the secretary of state In eliminating from his rec ords the names of approximately 50,000 persons who cither have lied or moved out of the precinct in which they previously lived since the last primary election. It was said that these dames will remain on the poll books of the voting precincts, but will not be recognized by the secretary of state when the election pamphlets are mailed out prior to the pri mary election.
