It seems they try to make themselves believe they have normal sight, rather than submit to an examination to learn the true condition of their eyes. Such an attitude is de- cidedly unwise.

By Which Three Million Dollars Was Raised in St: Louis, What the Y.M.C.A. is capable of accomplishing cannot be better fllu- strated than in the success of the recent campaign in St. Louis by which three million dollars was rais- ed in two weeks. Some time ago the "Y's central building there was burned'and the association was slip- ping behind. Then Lester Haworth was sent there as general secresary. He proposed the campaign and with the help of the é¢hurches the thing was carried through with unbeliev- able success. Big corporations be- came interested and let "Y" gpeak- ers address their directors' meetings. Prominent "Y" and church speak- ers were brought in to help. A slogan was "87 millions in bonds for civie improvement--three millions for the young men and' boys." There was one contribution of $300,000 and an- other of $200,000. The money will be used to build-five new buildings and improve three old ones. Mr. Haworth, organizer of the campaign, was "Y" secretary at Bom- bay, India, just before Secretary Har. low, of the Kingston Y.M.C.A., was made secretary" there. -------------- Brockville Salaries Up.
