The joy of
bifocals
A proporly made and fitted pair of
bifocal glasses brings comfort and
convcnlonco that cannot bo experi
enced without them.
Changing from ono pair to another,
or looking over or under to secure
clear sight, Is done away with. You
i
aro free from annoyanco, and your ef
ficiency Is Increased.
Wo fit bifocals to correct any defect
In refraction. They, are modern lenses
without the dividing lino which bet
rays to obsorvors that you liavo
reached the age when two range
are required.

On Columbia Records
Announced this Month.
The records made for Columbia
this month lncludo vBcautIful Ohio,"
and "Till Wo Meet Again," two of tho
most nonular Rontrs in tlin TTnttnil
' States today, played as waltzes by
mo ivaiaiuici Hawaiian Orchestra.
Theso melodies lend themselves very
well to the playing of this Hawaiian
ensemble, nnd theso records glvo a
volumo of tono hitherto unequalled
in Hawaiian selections.
"Tho Music of tho Wedding Chimes"
sung for Columbia by tho Pecricsa
Quartette, proves once again that well
known truth which about a million of
our youths and maidens demonstrate
afres.i every year that thero Is no
other music to equal it. Thero arc
chiming bells throughout tho accom
panlment,but tho singing Ja tho most
important part in this selection, nnd
it is not what Is known as a "chime
record." On the reverse Ilenrv Burr
sings "Dear Old Sue," a love "ballad
of tho old-tlmo sweetheart kind.
"My Littlo Sunshine," sung by
Charles Harrison, is a song thnt
radiates love, happiness, Joy and
youth. It's Just a nlmplo lovo song
of tho sort that makes everyone Join
in tho chorus. This song Is coupled
with "How Can You Say Good-bye?"
sung by Irving and Jack Kaufman.
This duet has a catchy melody and Is
by far tho best effort yet of this com
paratively new couiof atlon.
