(Landis-Shangle photo) Tinted Eyeglasses Change Eye Colors New York (U.R) Now girls actually can "change" the color of their eyes, thanks to the lat-eyeglasses. est development in invisible Small plastic lenses that cover only the iris of the eye are made in different colors by Fluidless Contact Lenses, Inc. Blue eyes can be made to look brown or vice versa. Television person alities whose eyes are such a light shade they photograph bad ly have solved their problem with tinted contact lenses. The plastic bits that cling to the eye have been getting smal ler and smaller since the first contact lenses were developed. Tinted, iriscovering lenses and even tinier clear plastic lenses that cover only the pupil of the eye- are the latest developments. There is only one problem with changing eye shades. The tinted lense covers the pupil too, so you'll be looking at the world through blue or brown- tinted glasses. Horticulturist Advises On Care of Flowers Madison, Wis. U.R) A Uni versity of Wisconsin horticul turist has some suggestions for making bouquets of flowers last longer. Louis Berninger says the first rule is to keep cut flowers cool, but out of cold drafts. The stems should be cut off an inch. Berninger says bacteria starts working on the bottom of the stems when flowers are put in water. Then comes the warm water treatment. Berninger says flow ers should be placed for about 30 minutes in water thats around 110 degrees. This will drive out any air bubbles. To keep flowers looking fresh you can either cut an inch off the stems each day, or use a com mercial preservative. The purpose of both is to keep bacteria from plugging up the stems. . --j ' One of the American Cancer Society's chief goals is to -im prove services to needy cancer patients. introduces THE INVISIBLE NET, clearly a piece of modern witchery...

(U.R) Just in case mothers had any doubts, they are the lights of their small children's lives. Dr. Sina Mott, director of Southern Illinois University's University school kindergarten and nursery school, has checked up on how 4 and 5-year-olds feel about mama. Dr. Mott analyzed 250 draw ings made by the moppets as an assignment. She found the youngsters by-passed their favor ite color red to show mother in sunny yellow . . . but only when she is shown with the fam ily. When mothers were shown alone or with the other member of the family, they were colored cold blue or purple. However, the little artists always placed themselves right next to mother in their pictures. "He wants to make sure of absorbing a generous share of the warmth she radiates,'' Dr. Mott explained. Another evidence of the es teem Junior has for mother: The youngsters took greater pains in drawing mothers than other family members. Sometimes they left put other family mem bers but they never omitted mom.
