The Potential
Scope
of Optometry
Three ' people' out of
every ten in America are
wearing glasses and; it is
said that . seven out of
every ten need them. This
almost universal need for
glasses in modern civil
ized life is due largely to
the constant use of the
eyes at close range, and
almost constant exposure
to .glare from sidewalks,
streets, buildings and high
power electric lights.'
ildderii life demands
modern equipment and it
is the' constant tise of the
eyes for close work that
lias made scientific glass
fitting a great basic hu
man need. .
To supply this almost
universal need, there has
come into existence a
great army of refraction
ists who arc knowii as
Optometrists and who de
vote their lives to the con
servation of Vision.
'Optometrist' is a word
coined a few years ago
from the (3 reek aid mean
ing "eye measures." This
word fairly cleserilJes the
work of the Optometrist
'who, v 'withoufr the use of
drugs or ' medicine, but
through the skillful use of
sci cii t i fie instruments,
measures the human eye
and prescribes glasses for
its needs.
,
There arc many physi
cal defects which may re
tard your progress in life
and this article is intend
ed to stress the preva
lence of eye strain and its
attendant -evils. Consulta
tion with a competent
Optomcl list will quickly
disclose eye strain or any
other eye defect that may
exist.

CRAFT WILL USE
OSLO fP) The whaling Intluntry
or Norway htm succumbed to mod
ernization ami become electrified.
llolm Hansen, a Norwegian civil
engineer, has developed a method
of .electrifying tho harpoon which
is expected to reduce the cont of
whaling in addition to sparing tho
animal much of the torture that
has marked the catch before.
On board tho whaler an electric
power plant la built, producing al
ternating current of low tension.
One pole of the generator la con
nected with the harpoon and it
insulated cable, tho other with the
ship's side. , , ,
When the harpoon Is launched
from tho, gun, tho electric circuit
is automatically . closed, and when
the spear hits tho whale tho ani
mal is instantly electrocuted.
The muscular spasm prevents the
air from being blown from the
lungs, .causing the body to float,
while It is towed to the cookory or
ashore. . i
- It Is estimated that the new
process will double the catch of
the ordinary whaler. ,
The -. present harpoon method
was Invented 50 years ago by Sven
Foyn. It entuils a serious struggle
for many hours after tho harpoon,
has landed. Then when the whale
is exhausted and dies, it- sinks,
making it a difficult task to get
tho weight . of 20 to 40 tons tip
from the depths by derrick.
j Most of the Norwegian whalers
operate in Antarctic waters, where
the season will soon open. This
year 8400 men will make up the
crew both in tho field and in the
land stations,- twice as . many as
were in the business, two ycais
ago.
Thirty cooktries on vessels are
being fitted out, huge floating
plants of 15,000 and 20,000 tons
with the most up-to-date machin
ery to make use! of every part of
tfie" catch, -the whole lesh, bones
and fat. j 1 (,
HIGH LEGATEES
ENGLISH JURISTS
LONDON. m There Is grow
ing resentment in England over tho
high cost of "going to law."
Sir Edward Parry has comment
ed on the "astounding expenses of
litigation- today" bycltfng one-, di
vorce which cost $150,000.
Lord Justice Crtitton has gone
even further by denouncing the
"outrageous 'estimate for costs In
a case brought before the court of
appeal. He called attention offic
ially to tne increasing costs of legal
expenses which, ho said, may de
velop Into a serious scandal unless
cheeked.
Judge Crawford recently ordered
an investigation of a caso in which
a woman found herself faced with
a legal hill for $2,500 arising out
of a dispute about a carpet.
There have been many similar
cases, recently before . tho Urtiish
courts. The Tlchborno trial about
a disputed estate cost $520,000. The
costs of another fatuous lawsuit are
said to have totaled $250,000.
Eighteen counsel were briefed.
There were nine King's counsol
among them, flvo of whom each re
ceived fees of $5,000 with "re
freshers" of $795 a day.
It Is argued that, while in many
cases the litigants can well afford
the luxury of expensive attorneys,
the practice tends to place Justice
for tho deserving poor out of rciw-h
and that even in county courts t!i
legal costs arc out of all propor
tion to the Issues at slake, so that
justice becomes a . luxury limited to
the well-to-do.
Tho lute Judge Athriiy Jones
urged a hill which would enbirgr?
the diseretionnry powers of a mag
istrate In the matter of costs.
Another remedy that has been
suggested is the amalgamation of
the two branches of the lesal pro
fession, the solicitors and barris
ters into one class of attorneys, a
in the United Htates. The Hritlsh
solicitor handles all the legal work
out iof cohrt v.hUe thrt barrister
does all the actual -Work in 'court,
thus cheating two sets of fees. "

PAH1S (Pi Before the year is
out France will be making her j
own talking films, with French j
machinery and all-French actors, j
was the announcement made to
the Associated Press by Charles
Deluc. president of the Association
of Clnematgraph Producers of
France.
French film makers, who have
so far been reluctant to Invest the
great amount of capital necessary
for producing talking films, have
waited long enough to be sure that
the talking film has come to sUiy.
American talkies which hnvo been
showing for many months in Paris
to crowded houses, have been the
deciding factor.
M. Deluc sees In tho talking film
a slight hope that France will be
able to make up film ground lost
in the war. American and even
German producers were at work
during the great conflict, perfect
ing their instruments and the tech
nique of cinematography. When
pence came French film producers
found thomsolves faced by uu en
trenched competition which has
been strengthened .steadily ever
since.
M. Delac believes that the talk
ing film will deal a heavy blow to
the system of International casts
In which the hero Is American, tho
heroine Germnn. the heavy man
Italian or Russian, nnd so on. Tho
new form of film means a purely
national production, and . each
country's films will have an Indi
viduality which was hi great dan
ger of being lost. In M. Delac's !
opinion. In the international pro- j
ductions to which the silent film 1
was becoming dally more and
more committed.
As the French have always been
famous for fine actors and casts in
the "legitimate drama." the talk
ing film. M. Deluc thinks, may
provide France with an opportuni
ty to regain tho high rank she held
