Do headaches or eye-strain interfere with your
pleasures or your duties!
If going to the movies, reading your favorite
novel, doing the family sewing—gives you a
headache and strains your eyes—don’t stop
reading—don’t stop going to the movies—don’t
give up doing the family sewing. Most head
aches are traceable to defective eye-sight, which
can be corrected by the use of properly fitted
glasses.

Captive Collie Pines for Home
Collie and Joseph McGinty
keeper of the dog pound.
Collie wants a good home, preferably
in the country.
It’s hot out there In the scorching sun
of the dog pound yard, the present hab
itation of Collie, and she wants to find
the cooling shade of some friendly porch
on the farm where she can find comfort.
Collie is an old gentle dog. and hpr
career has been filled with disappoint
ments ; that's why she is now an inmate
of the dog pound.
She likes to romp with children, but
there are no children at the dog pound,
only frisky, yelping pups and some other
breeds of canines.
Mrs. Dorothy Lnntz, secretary of the
Indianapolis Humane society, under
whose special care Collie has come, and
Joseph McGinty, keeper of the dog-pound,
both are hoping that some kindly-hearted
farmer will take Collie home with him.

Demands Accounting
in Folsom Estate
A suit has been instituted in the su
perior court, room 2, by the Fletcher
Savings and Trust Company, administra
tor of the estate of Mary E It. Folsom,
against Edson F. Folsom and his wife,
Mary E. 11. Folsom.
The plaintiff asks that Folsom, who
Is a son of the late Mrs. Folsom, who
died last February, be required to give
an accounting of his administration of
the estate of his mother and also asked
that a deed of gift executed by Mrs. Fol
som, giving all her property to her son,
be set aside.
Mabel Folsom Buttolph, sister of Ed
son Folsom, filed suit In superior court,
room 3, to quiet her title to an undi
vided half of the estate of her mother.
The estate is estimated at $05,000.
Want City Letters
to Go for Cent
Efforts are being made by the Indiana
Rea! Estate association to obtain a re
duction of the price of city delivery on
first class letters. '
In a meeting to be held soon a reso
lution will be drawn up by the board of
governors asking for a return to the 1
cent price on city delivery.
The work of the Indianapolis Hu
mane society has touched the hearts of
countless visitors and citizens, In the
kindness and mercy of Its treatment of
homeless dogs.
Appeals are made constantly to citi
zens who wish dogs for pets or com
panions to come and look over the ken
nels, and hundreds of homes every year
are made happier when dogs have been
‘‘adopted."
And Collie, It seems, has barked wist
fully when Mr. McGinty pats her head
and asks-her If she wants to go to the
big, green outdoors of the country to
live.
She lost her home when her master
and mistress moved away and could not
take her with them, and did not wish
to stay with another family to whom
she was given.

Interchurch Work
Progresses in State
According to M. C. Bishop, supervisor
of town and county surveys of the In
terchurch World Movement In Indiana,
great progress has been made by the
movement which has spread to seventy
four counties In the year that Mr. Bishop
has had charge of the work in the state.
Included Id tho survey Is the compila
tion of facts regarding the population,
production, church, school and social or
ganization memberships la each town
and county.
This Is the basis on which the Inter
church World movement is found, Mr.
Bishop said.
Reports for the yens show that sur
veys In forty-six counties indicate 5 per
cent of tbo work to be accomplished
done.
Seven counties have been completely
surveyed; five are ©O per cent complete;
twelve are 00 per cent complete %nd only
nine are under 15 per cent surveyed.
That’s our business—fitting glasses. "We have

No optometrist or optician will render more
conscientious service than we, even though his
prices are double those charged by us.
INDIANA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, JUNE 17, 1920.
FIGHT PREDICTED
ON MARINE BILL
British Expected to Attack
Some of Provisions.
WASHINGTON, June 17.
ational negotiations, probably before The
Hague conference, wIU be demanded by
Great Britain before she accepts the
provisions of the Jones merchant ma
rine legislation, according to views of
shipping men and officials of the stato
department today.
Provisions of the law giving Amer
icans preference rates on shipments by
rail or water to American seaports will
be one of the principal subjects of at
tack In the complaint, according to gov
ernment officials.
It Is pointed out that preference given
German shippers and shipping Interests
within the country rather than any In
ternational advantage was the cause of
the rapid Increase of the German mer
chant marine before the war.
Shipping men and operators of tbo
new merchant marine lines contend that
Great Britain can have no valid com
plaint against preference rights granted
citizens within the United States.
Another point upon which Great Brit
ain plans to protest is the provision of
law which abrogates treaties Inconsist
ent with Its provisions.
The abrogation of the treaties prac
tically reverses the merchant marine
policy of the United State*, government
officials admit, but such abrogation they
contend Is perfectly regular and within
the nation's rights.
The state department will defend ev.ry
provision of the Jones act, according to
Secretary Colby, which tends to build
up the United States merchant marina.
Preference rights to Americans pro
vided for In the seaman's act and npheld
by the supreme court, also do not meet
with the favor of the British and a
protest is looked for against the seamen's
law.
