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.

Children's Drawing
Show Regard for Mom
Carbondale, 111. (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.
