" Had Interesting Program
It is a subject of regret that so
few of our women were present on
last Friday afternoon to hear Mrs.
Julian Helming'* interesting talk on
ihe f responsibilities each of us assumed
when we, signed the Consumer'*
Pledge to the NUA. The Central
Committeo had arranged a most delightful
opening program and Mrs.
Samuel Russell's intrflcluction voiced
the keynote of the patriotism which
should actuate each serious-minded
woman in our community. Elsewhere
in this issue are the thanks of the
committee to those who so charmingly
gave their talents towards a most
entertaining program.

Capital Observations
(Special Correspondence)
Washington, -Sept. 5.?The governmental
authority of the District of?
Columbia is vested,in n hoard of three
commissioners. In the past various
forms have been in force, the fust
put into effect in 1802, applying to
the city of Washington, being a mayor
appointed by the president and ft city
council elected by the people. In
1871 the entire district was merged
Under a territorial form of government,
there being a governor and a
council of eleven members appointed
b>"MHe president, and n house of delegates
of 22 members elected by the
people! From 1 ST 1 until March J,
ls7."?, and during that period only,
the district was accorded a delegate
in Congress, A't the present time
there is no provision for suffrage.
In 1874'"the method of government
was changed to the commission form
there' being two commissioners appointed
by tiie president for three
years from civil life, and an engineer
commissioner detailed from the army.
The term of the two civil commissioners
expired some .months ago, but
no new appointments have been made
and this leads to speculation that
President Roosevelt has in mind some
further different policy. Various
plans have been suggested, a city
manager, or a return to one of the
former methods. The people here
are clamorous for representation in
Congress, but there has been no forceful
evidence that their wishes in that
respect will be granted. It is generally
considered that Washington is
one of the best governed cities in
the world and Congress, which has
absolute control of affairs in the district
has^been slow to listen to pro-,
po-aIs for a * hange.
lU'inocrats in high official life, especially
l ulled States Senators, have j
becoiiiT sore, many of them d i.-grunti
led. .because ot the difficulty m securing
political appoint incuts lor their I
constituents. They see'many Republicans
left ill lucrative positO'lis, and,
( tilers being designated in preference,
to men who have served the Ihniocialie
party long and faithfully. A I
fear is beginning to develop that an j
open break' may result unless more t
attention and consideration is given ^
to tiie recommendations of party i
leaders.
Before the adoption of the eight- !
eenth amendment more thuu two!
thirds of the states were dry by (
enactment of their legislatures, and]
many prohibitionists now conclude ;
that it would have been better to
nave lie id <>n to what they had and I
rndoavor_ to make gains in other
-late- rather than to try to dry up
the ent.re nat.on. It is feared that
hw react.on from national prohibi- 1
!. >M may cati-e :"i back-el in prohib
: \ it <s la' r. in many -late-: that
w . :. f n.< : !> dry.
L ....J ??I - ISK^ ;5=T
It may be concluded that President |
Roosevelt is absolutely certain of a
sympathetic majority in the United
States >Scnate during1 the latter half
of hi# four-year term, and practically
certain of a Democratic majority in
the House of Representative#. In
the senate at the present time, there
are sixty Democrats, thirtyrfive He/publicans
and one Karmer-Laborite.'
One third <*f the senate is elected
every two years, and of the number
to be chosen next year it is likely
that tlie Democrat# will gain in membership
tuiher than lose. In the
House of Representatives there are
'during1 the present Congress 310
Democrats, 117 Republicans, live
Farmer- Eabo/ites and three vacan-j
cu's. In the election next year it is
Ynore tint" probable that the Denioi\at^twill
nt>t secure such a large
majority, but tu view of the complete
revulsion from Republicanism it is
also more than probable that there
will still, be a large Democratic majority.
Following the Demq^fatic
sweep in 1012 that party al?o,carried
the House of Representatives in 11)14
and l'frlfli
( The banking situation is still in a
serious condition hero as well as in
many other localities. Eleven banks
in Washington have been closed since
the declaration of the bank holiday
early in March. Efforts have been
made, and now seem to be nearing
completion for the consolidation of
nearly all of the closed banks, and for
their opening as one very strong institution.
In the meantime however
a great deal of embarrassment and
difficulty has been caused small depositors,
and perhaps many large ones
also,
'1 lie blue eagle is (lying higher and
higher; even though there is somewhat
prevalent the idea embraced in
the expression "we don't know where
we're going, but we're on our way."
The average citizen knew, however,
or believed that he knew where we
were headed prior to the fourth ot
March, and that was straight toward
national, corporate and individual
bankruptcy. The defeatist attitude of
the previous administration has been
succeeded by one of energy and ac?
( tion. inspiring hope if& very one.

> Save Your Eyes
(Dr. Walter F. ^Kimball,
Miaaouri State Board of Optometry)
MA school' child may have gq?>d
hearing, no tonsil trouble and teeth
in order, but if such one has poor
sight, or eyestrain, it Is not a 'whole
child/" stated Or. John W. Jarvis,
Regional director-of the Middle Atlantic
States "Division of the American j
Op^ometric Association.
"Each year," continued Or. Jarvis,
"the American Opto me trie Asaoclatjon,
with a view to making, parents
'eye conscious' in respect to the
vision of their children, conducts a
national public welfare campaign
with special reference to 'sending the
whole child to .school/ It is well
understood that about 85 per cent of i
our education is obtained through the
medium of the eyes, and many boys
and girls are trying to get an education
under a handicap that ia the
most serious of any thut confronts
them.
"A survey* of the nation's school
children," said Dr. Jarvis, "shows
that about 20 per cent of the totkl
number require eye helps of one kind
or another. The easiest trouble to
discover is that of myopia, or nearsightedness,
because children with
this defect soon let it be known that
they 'can't see the blackboard.' In
such an instance attention is given
at once, for it is plainly evident to
the parents that the'child's sight is
poor.
"But what about the child who sees
fairly well but is a sufferer, nevertheless,"
commented Dr. Jarvis.
"These really are the difficult
cases, and the brief examinations i
made in schools by nurses or teachers ,
do not as a rule uncover the eye j
trouble. This group comes under the.
classification of 'eyestrain' cases, aSul ,
these children are the ones who show j
backwardness, truancy and often
I
physical breakdowns.
"The continual eyestrain and the
consequent draft on the child's energy,"
added Dr. Jarvis, "are problems j
not always easy for parents to under- j
stand, because us they sometimes
say, 'Willie can see so well'?yes, but,
'Willie does not feel so well,' and
here is the secret of the trouble.
"The eyestrain from which the
child suffers'," added Dr. Jarvis, "may
be due to astigmatism (uneven sight)
or hyperopia (farsightedness) or unbalanced
muscles, wherein the two
eyes do not work together comfortably.
"Many a boy," concluded Dr. Jarvis.
"has been placed in ;i corner, because j
of inability to get his lessons, when
instead of being thus punished, lie
probably should have had an eye examination."
