With all ' of our "safety :, first" measures, industry' is still hazardous so far as eye injuries are concerned. v Wherever m c u a n d o ni e n are employed there is an element of danger: Flying particles, dust, cinders, stone, metal or wood; the danger of in jurious chemicals, splash ing . molten metal and sometimes injurious light and heat rays and in numerable other accidents peculiar to the condition of the particular factory, shop or office. . Eye hazards at home are of a great variety burns from splashing of lye and other cleaning preparations, flying tacks, nails, jabs from knives, f orks and eissors.--Eye injuries sometimes result from attempting to re move caps from bottles and covers from fruit jars with the aid of a knife or fork or ice pick a dan gerous practice which every year destroys or badly damages hundreds of eyes.. If you work in a haz ardous industry, guard your eyes to the best of your knowledge, and your knowledge can greatly be increased by consulting an "Optometrist," who makes a specialty of fit- ting the eyes with proper lenses for industry, homo, business and social oeca- S1011S.

The 'story also Illustrates phases of tho hardships the women workars tn tho .canteens behind tho front In ranco went through. 11 tells the experiences of a voung. American society girl. Joan, of soylal prominence and political Influence, who went to France In mistaken idea that she would wear a uniform and do her part with the men-in .fighting tho enemy, but on arriving at the canteen she Is disappointed to find sho is Juit received as an ordinary worker, to do her part in scrubbing, clean ing, baking, etc.. and that her so cial distinction at home gets no where In canteen service. Uradually, . through witnessing war sights and scenes around the eantccn and Its village location, her better nature and wholeheart ed patriotism is aroused, and she digs In with enthusiasm. Of course, Eleanor Boardman flays this part, and does It well, too. Then conies tho Improbablo or Impossible feature, of the plot. The unit stationed In tho village is In command of n captain from her home town, Tom Piko, who is deeply sin love with her. and the company supply sergeant Is played by Udmund Burns, her home town swoethcart. The com mand Is hurriedly called to the front fighting line, but tho cow ardly sergeant dogs It and Is too drunk to go along with hia com rades. , , Here Is where Joan shines. Un able to persuade the drunken ser geant to do- hM duty she dons his uniform, gun, gas mask and pack and hurries away with the com pany, undetected in the fB ul" 1 1 a nV und uencral excitement.

One of the exciting scenes Is the attack by Infantry and tanks, plowing through liquid fire re leased by tho Germans, which Is spectacular and realistic. A most tolling sccno of pathos Is where a dying soldier Is brought Into tho hospital of tho canteen calling for his mother, and ono or the canteen women workers, played by the unfortunato Alma Itulicns, holds him in her arms, pretends to be the muthcr and sings to lilm until death comes.
