DOES YOUR CHILD SEE? One Horse Weeklies Selecting Dep.-Reeves When a child is blind in both eye-J, the condition is, of course, recognized. There r.ro many children who have defective sight, which fact is un- known to their parents. That this is CO, is evidenced every year by the number of children entering school who arc found by school physicians to have defective eyesight. The gord work of the school healtii services does not provide for the pre- school child, or for the child who attends a sch -ol where there is no school physicir.n or nurse. A child should be able ta recognize a picture or object one-half an inch square at twenty feet. Each eye It Has Come at Last From the Toronto Star. On the right of November 5, Jas. Carson, Sr., of Melancthon Town.shio was struck and killed by a raotor car on the provincial highway, and at the adjourned inquest, held at Shelbumc, the coroner's jury returned a verdict of unavoidable accid.-'nt, with this ri- der: "We recommend that pedestrians on the highway be compelled to carry I'ghts." So it has come at Ia.^t! A coroner'3 jury recommends it, and presently, no doubt, the law will compel it. When a man, woman or child poc? walking on the king's highway after dark in any 'I'lace not illuminated by street light, he. she or it will bo re- quired to go forth as an illuminated object, with lights fore and aft iik? n ship at sea. A man with a lan'ern will wend his inconspicuous way along old familiar rond.^, and if, in jumping across a puddle hi-, rc.ir light (ro?o out ho will be liable to a fine of (en dollars and costs. The rural youth with a dynamo in tho he '1 of ^-.s ^ot v.nd a festoon of 60-watt buUis around his shoulder will go fr.rt'i rad- iantly to his try.^t with a roijs'iv^ ^v » daughter, v.ho will meet him all ilc tip for the occasion. The rural .Toasin who by day. has been able to i '.entify those who passed along the road by tbclrhatsor the slumnof their shoul- ders, or the way they swing their arm, â- will soon be nW.f tp identify them t* right by their lights. There will be no more going and coming unseen and unnoted. Life ain't firoing to be what it once â- was. If a farmer can't cross the road without casrying a lantern, nor drive his cow along to his front gate with- out equipping her with a light, the occupation of farming is going to fall further into disfavor. The job of livino- is petting to be •^ery complicated. It mr.y br necessnry for pedestrians to cr.rrv lights. Hut they are going to hate it.

I than should be counted the penalty IS any appreciable defec-t in either eye, for near or distant vision, the family physician should be consulted. Cross-eye is a condition which Is frequently neglected because of ig- norance as to its significance by par- ents. Children with this condition should he placed under medical care without delay. A cross-eyed child sees double. This causes confusion and so the mind trains itself to pay attention only to the image that comes to it through the straight eye. This results in one eye's being devel- oped through use and the others be- coming useless because it is not used. Unless the" condition is properly treated early, the child loses the use of one eye and is actually blind In that eye. If the child is treated between two and three years of age, the most, or all of hig vision can be saved; the longer treatment is delay- ed, the more vision is lost. Cross- eye is B condition that does not cor- rect itsef. Children do not grow out of it. If the child is nlaced sitting, facing the parent, an arm's length away, with one eye covered by the parent's hand, and is made to look at the parent's nose with the uncovered eye, the parent will find that, on uncover- ing the other eye,' it is either looking at the nose, which means that no cross-eye is present, or that it moved in or out, or remained crossed in or out, which is an evidence that cross- eye is present. Your children will appreciate, in later years^ your care of this special organ.

MILLIONS THIS GENTLEMAN is busy "talking tele- phones to death"â€" which is merely a way of saying: that he is testing their transmission qualities. He is a worker in the telephone research laboratories. He has a rack o£ telephone trans- mitters and a phonograph. He "talks them to death" by means of the phonograph to see whether the transmitters give satisfactory results. There have been 95 different types of trans- mitters and 64 different receivers to obtain the instrument you are using today. And men are ct work now to find one still better. IN THE NEXT ROOM another man b using an apparatus which rubs a piece of telephone cord back and forth until it frays. He is sei^king a better cord. He is the man who found that the brown cord in your tele- phone today wears better than the green cord you used to have. You may not have noticed the change from green to brown but it has saved hundreds of thousands of dollars for telephone users. That is the business of these gentlemen â€" ^to make a better telephone and save money in doing it. THERE ARE NEARLY five thousand of them at wor'c in the Bell Telephone Laboratories â€" the largest telephone resarch laboratories in the world â€" and the Bell Tele- phone Company of Canada owns a contract giving access to all the work they do. That is why your telephone system now has the ingenious device known as the "loading coil" which transmits messages over wires fine as human hair. It used to be necessary to have heavy wires, increasing in size with distance. Tlie heavy wires were costly. The loading coil has saved millions in tck'phonc costs. The underground cables developed in recent years arc another of a score of similar benefits. They have wires to carry a vastly greater num- ber of messages than they used to, but they are so compact and so efficient that they can be pulled tlirough the original underground ducts. If cables and ducts had to be increased in size with the vast new traffic the costs of telephon- ing would climb sky-high. THE NEW CABLES, like the brown cord and the loading t;oil, mean millions of dollars saved. These dollars are dollars in your pocket. Your telephone is being connected with thousands of new telephones across the country every week yet this increased value does not cost you more because costs are sij?' ccssfully offset, by the economies which re- search accomplishes. ~ The gentleman testing the transmitter and the five thousand working in the laboratories with him are saving money for you eVery day and keeping the tele- phone adequate to serve the needs of Canadian progress.
