Time to Have Your Eyes Examined State troopers are out checking up on the one-eyed automobiles. There are many motorists who insist on driving with one light, which is con trary to law.

Watch your step, cooperate with others in making travel on the high ways safe for all of us. “Seeing is Believing” In Your Ability to Drive George Carey, Syracuse, state mo tor vehicle bureau examiner, stated that about 50 per cent of the appli cants for drivers’ license fail in the eye test given them.

But This Will Not lighten the Tax If tests now being made prove sat isfactory, more than a million dollars may be saved in postage by the vari ous state governments through sup plying automobile license tags made of aluminum instead of steel. This possible economy was first called to the attention of the state highway commissioners through the adoption of aluminum for that purpose by Brazil and Japan. Aluminum weighs just one-third as much as steel, and the material is plenty strong, as is attested by its use for automobile crank cases, pistons and bodies. It is also rust proof, and on the new type of license plates the background could be left ia its natural state, with only the figures and letters colored. This does away with a background of enamel, effecting still further economy.

The work of the organization has been marked by so many accomplishments that enumer ation would he superfluous, but I desire to point out two in particular: First, the heroic act of Scout Riedl, who gave his life in an endeavor to save a companion from drowning, should not pass unnoticed, and train ing which instills such ideas of self sacrifice should certainly be encour- the utmost.

Such a movement is the Scouts of America. In general, it may be said of Scouting that the boy likes it. It appeals to him and to all of him. Scouting conserves for the boy his normal heritage of nature, history, service. , It is a .call to the out of doors, to the thing that God has fashioned for his hand, and away from the weakening contact -with luxuries and follies of man’s in vention. It teaches him to be obed ient, alert, reverent. It trains him in observation, self-reliance and helpfulness to others. The Scout’s motto is. Be Prepared. His device is the symbol on the mariner’s compass indicating north. A Scout is a Knight of the Northern Star. He finds and leads the way. A volumi nous literature is already published by headquarters explaining all of these matters.” Efich day sufficient rain falls upon the earth to filj a reservoir 400 miles 1 depth of 10 feet. J.

Whafs New? Sir Frank Dyson, an astronomer, recently declared that the earth is rotating more slowly each day. Lieut. Alford J. Williams has in vented a new self-starter for air planes. Storage batteries supply cur rent to spin the shaft. Abbe Bade, a French parish priest, has invented a machine for setting out cabbage plants. In a recent test, liquid helium was reduced to a temperature of 468* de grees below zero, and it did not freeze solid. For light automobiles a new tire with the air hermetically sealed in side was recently invented by a Frenchman., A burner for 'gas stoves has been devised whidh lights when a vessel is placed on the plate and goes out when the vessel is removed.
