When the muscle imbalance is severe, as in squint or cross-eyes, the shortcoming is apparent to parents. But frequently the existence of muscle imbalances in eyes of children is not readily evident. Children with eyes whose muscles fail to function properly tend to see in two directions. Because the brain cannot fuse into one the two divergent iitiagtt formed on the retinas of the two eyes, the child at first tees a blurred double image, but with experience acid practice tends to suppress the sensations from one eye. While this clears up vision after a fashion, the penalty may be partial blindness in one eye because of disuse. There are millions of "one-eyed" men and women in the United States. MARRIED AT ST.

Research studies during the past year in the department of floriculture and ornamental horticulture at the Cornell university agricultural experiment station, department of floriculture and ornamental horticulture, Ithaca, N. Y., have shown that late afternoon is the time to cut roses, according to an article by Joseph E. Howland in "Farm Research." As much as 10 hours was added to the length of life of cut roses when the new method was used. The research showed 4:30 p. m. to be the ideal hour, when the rose garden is kept adequately watered. Roses cut at 4:30 p. m. kept 7.3 per cent, or 7.4 hours, lunger tithan did roses cut at 8 a. m. During •^flhot weather, the afternoon cutting increased keeping time/ 11.4 per cent; or 9.9 hours.
