Poor eyesight will prove a handicap through life. Weak or defec tive eyes will affect the gen eral health. It is sad to see a child with cross eyes or squint, yet parents ought to know that properly fitted glasses will straighten the eyes in I nearly every instance. If the glasses are not right, more harm than good may be done. The same is true in other eye | defects. Children should have an optometrist the samo as i they have a dentist or doctor. j 1 will not allow a patient to I wear glasses unless I know they are absolutely right— < Perhaps I am a little cranky with a child's eyes, but I I know what it means if the | the glasses are not right. i ii^ liJ 1- X.

ENEMY'S GAINSSMALL IN NEW AMIENS DRIVE [Continued from First l*l|c.] Hangard where heavy fighting is pro gressing in and around the village. Germans Hurled Beck South of the Somme the Germans were hurled back by the British ex cept on the center of the line around Villerß-Bretonneux, while north of the Somme attacks near the river and south of Albert were repulsed, the British taking prisoners. Against the Franco-American po sitions the Germans, although in large force, had to be content with only a footing in Hangard and in the woods to the north. Assaults east of Hailles and against Senecat wood and hill 82, in the region of Castel, were thrown back with no gains for the attackers. The line between Hail les and Castel, is but three miles from the railway running south from Amiens. Count on Artillery Apparently the Germans did not resume the offensive with as heavily massed forces as wero used in the previou# battles in Pioardy and faht week in Flanders. Probably they are counting on the artillery to blast a way for smaller bodies of troops, the losses since March 21 in massed assaults having necessitated economy in manpower. It is not yet clear whether the re newal of the fighting east of Amiens means another desperate attempt to reach that whether the Ger mans are carrying out attacks on a large front in an endeavor to straighten out the line. The German positions from Albert sonth to Mont dldier have several smalLand dan gerous salients in them and the enemy may desire to wipe them out. British Make Gains There has been some Increase in the fighting activity in Flanders, es pecially at the apex of the new enemy salient. The Germans attack ed east of Robecq and were repulsed by the British who made slight gains west of Merville and around Metcren. Northwest of Festubert, where the new line joins the old the British have recaptured an advanced post in flicting losses on the Germans. On the Macedonian front allied troops have gained new local suc cesses in the continuation of the in creased activity in this theater. Brit ish troops west of Doiran penetrated Bulgarian defenses on a wide front and in the Cerna bend French and Serbian troops forced the enemy to retire. In Albania, west of Lake Prsba, allied troops forced the en emy to retire from the heights along the Verba and captured two villages., I Seniors, Juniors, Sophomores, Freshmen were admitted at the request of several High School Principals to take the I Kl'.h I R\-OUT Course.
