Good vision is no indica- tion that your eyes are normal. The ability of the eves to strain in or- der to see clearly con- stitutes EYE, STRAIN. The vision test given school children IS NOT THOROUGH enough to detect ordinary EYE STRAIN. More children are retarded in their stu- dies--are considered "dull" or "stupid" De- cause of EYE STRAIN than all other causes combined. Consider your whole body--what sense or or- gan is subject to a greater strain than your eyes? If your child squints or habitually scowls, does not care to study, is nerv- ous or irritable, we urge a THOROUGH "BYTE EXAMINATION. 13 Years, of .. Suicessinl Practice Dr. 0. H.

For Appointment Phone Wil. or Residence Wilmette 1707 2766 Income Taxpayers Get The Early Bird Habit Income taxpayers are travelling early to the Federal building with their quar- terly installments of income tax due on or before September 15. They were gently reminded by a batch of 77,500 bills mailed to them by the Income Tax Division before August 29. "More and more the taxpayers are realizing the foolishness of waiting until the last few days to pay up," said the collector, Mrs. Mabel (. Reinecke, as she surveyed those who were already at the cashier's windows yesterday. "They know that if they do wait they will have to stand in line and the only thing peo- ple seem to want to stand in line for is a good show. They make things better for themselves and us if they do their paying early." Los Angeles was recently given the treat of meeting movie stars face to face when a special night was set aside on the Cinderella Roof to cele- brate the world's premier of the War- ner Classic, "Where the North Be- gins," starring Rin-tin-tin, the famous Police Dog hero. Claire Adams and Walter McGrail led the grand march with the other stars following while Rin-tin-tin barked his approval.

Long underslung springs, deeper seats and greater body length have resulted in an unusual degree of riding ease. The boay 1s exceptionally trim and graceful. Swung low to the road, with long, straight hood-and-cowl effect and tasteful appointments, the car reveals new value and sound workmanship in every detail. The engine--which remains essen- tially the same--needs no eulogy. It has proved its power and econ- omy to nearly a million owners. NORTH SHORE HOTEL BLDG. C. M.
