will enable him to get the best pos- sible use of his eyes, and prevent strain. An optician gets the prescription from the oculist or optometrist as to what is needed, and grinds the glasses according to thLs prescrip- tion. Now to whom should you go to have your eyes examined? Generally speaking it is consid- ered wise to consult the oculist if your eyes are bothering you, as it may not be a matter of eyesight but some other condition in the body that is causing the eye trouble. .

The oculist is in a better position to locate the cause of the trouble than the optometrist or opticlan, who of course are concerned with the vision only. And if it is the vision that is defective the oculist can prescribe the necessary glasses.

However if you are having no trouble with the eyes, but naturally would like to know if your eyes should be having any help owing to the nature of your work, or if you have no pain but think your eye- sight is-failing, you can quite pro- perly consult the optometrist. He can measure the needs of your eyes, and fit you just as well as the ocu- list. He is absolutely safe as most. states and provinces require an ex- amination in this work before he can call himself an optometrist.

What you should not do is walk into a store and fit glasses to your eyes and take a. pair that you think suits you. Nor should you buy glasses from any vendor or salesman that calls at your home.

Your eyes are worth very much to you, and you should take no chanc- cs with them.

Canada. in a discussion of the amis crisis. I Discussing the causes of the, breakdown of the pact and the. fact that the land, sea and air forces of 1931 are far more form- idable than those of 1914, Sir Ar- thur says:

The United States of America, whose President put forward the plans for the League of Nations, whose government promoted ‘the treaty denouncing war, has only re- cently declared that its navy is to be second to none, while no nation has made greater strides in pro- moting the strength, the effective- ness cf its military power.

Whom will it fight? Japan? Rus- sia? France? The British Empire? France and Italy are building up great armaments. Against whom? Again we may turn to history for a. lesson. Armaments are created to be used, and, if. they are creat- ed, it is more than likely that they will be used.

The very burden of war debts from the last war is one of the possible causes of another war. Germany is smarting under a sense of injustice and a burden of reparations. France is ‘aiming at European dominance. Japan is establishing herself in Manchuria against the hostility of a new China. Fear and distrust have iso- lated Soviet Russia and placed the world against her.

At this crisis the hopes of peace lovers turn to the Disarmament Conference to be held in Geneva in next February. It holds the hope of the peace of the world in its hands. If it fails, there will be a race in armaments, since no na- tion can feel secure against anoth- er with heavier armaments. Peace will hide its face and Mars will be the world-god once more.
