'Eye Hazards MURDERER
Thousands of people
lose their sight amiually
through accidents. Sta
tistics prove that nearly
all could easily have been
i a'.y o i d c di: Accidents,' in
''fact, nqw!: constitute by
fljfy ' thb1 1 i Wst 1 ' frequent
. cause of total and partial
.(jjlindncss. ''
t We rCould fill volumes
with the variety of acci
dents which wo- have and
will be confronted with at
. home and in business, and
methods of preventing
such accidents we can
only liiut at and otter a
few suggestions. 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-

firemen, the rescue workers soon
had oil the patients of the institu

smoke.-
Virtually the entire fire depart

blaze was subdued. The manner
in which the explosion occurred
was not immediately ascertained.

among the first to realise what had
occurred. Whe plugged in all the
telephones In the buildings, first
spreading the nturm to worker

The telephone operator stuck N
her switchboard until the fume
became unbearable and then start

IE GOES TO WAR'
GIVES NEW ANGLE
OFF USED MI
I Tin- general belief tlmt every
phusc of the world war hail long (
ae Deon wel1 covered by moving :
pictures Is disproved by tho sounV
film, '"She Goes to War." which ,
upened u threo days' engagement j
at the Illalto Theater yesterday j
and which contains some new tea-:
tures. ' ,
While not the best of the world !
wor "llms neither Is it the worst, j
It provides good entertainment, t
arouses1 patriotism, brings manvj
tears and keeps you tensely Inter
ested with Its romance and war
front scenes. j
A laughable talking comedy j
and a news roview are also on the i
bills.. !
The story of "She Clocs to Wai
ls , highly . Improbable but
well
acted by a lurgo company, with
KlfHiior Hoardman. tile smr. ami l
John Holland and Kdmund ltui-nsl
formliiK tho romance triangle. 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.
"foe hn It goes Into position ul
oiiciki Ujlld: gets orders, to tako n
hill Aro,mtho 'Uormans,. and In
the attack 'ho goes through shell
flro and Hu'uJd fire, and when the
attack Ms hWtod by u concealed
Oerman miechtno gunner. JOau
nnnkM out ahead, locates .the gun
ner, shoots him dead, and then
faints with a loud shriek which
brings tho rest of tho company
on the run and she I" discovered
lying beside the dead German gun
ner and Is rocognUod by the cap
tain. ...
He carries her buck to the can
teen and on ho way love of tho
captain came to her suddenly. She
spurns the sergeant and she and
the captnln llvo presumably happy
ever after.
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.
Although ' Kbc Goes to War" Is
a sound plcturo there Is little dia
logue In it, which! 'lack, really,
makes the picture more enjoyable
to many. Tho plcturu is synchron-'
