Ak-Sar-Ben Fame
for Unique Floats
'Sold’ Legionnaires
Absence of Artistic Pageantry
at St. Paul Convention Made
Omaha’s Bid for Meet
Attractive.
Ak Sar-Ben has servsd Omaha
again. This time It was on behalf of
the American Legion.
When the delegatee from Omaha to
the national legion convention In St.
, Paul were In the midst of their fight
to bring the 1926 convention here
someone thought of the Ak-Sar-Ben
fall festival parade with Its gorgeous
floats.
Immediately the Ak Sar Ben elec
trical parade became a talking point
for the city and it eventually proved
1o be one of the strongest Items In
favor of Omaha as the place for the
1926 meeting.
The American Legion had a parade
In St. Paul. But there was no
provision made for floats.
There were n few floats, but they
were Impromptu affairs, built after
the delegates reached the scene of the
convention and put together In a
flimsy manner. The members of tho
delegations which boasted floats
bad but one day's time In which to
build them.
Then came the Omaha delegation,
armed with flashily printed pamplets
telling all about the glory of the Ak
Sar-Ben parade and stressing the
beauty of the electrical floats.
Of course there were other things
mentioned but It was Gus Renze's
ability at constructing the best of
parade equipment which helped win
the convention for Omaha.

Our Children's Eyes.
To preserve and protect our chil
dren’s eyes Is of such economical Im
portance, that most of our states have
passed most rigid laws pertaining to
this subject. From Infancy to be
ginning adult Ilfs, tha etate has
elected Itself protector and guardian,
and has taken upon Itself tha right
to dictate the welfar# of It tender
young. Fortunately, parents now co
operate with school authorities In see
ing that the children ax# properly
examined at frequent periods, to de
tect any deficiency or ailment that
may exist. This happy result hss
been brought about by our Journals,
both press and magaxines, which hava
spread the gospel of prevention.
Teachers have instilled Into the minds
of their pupils the advantage Of being
fit, the children In turn taking a
pride in their well-being, to be as
nearly 100 per cent efficient as pos
sible. The bsckward child is given
every help, end by kind persuasion
is brought back to normal. Realizing
that many untoward symptoms are
the direct result of eye strain In its
various phases, particular attention
is directed to this ailment.
Eye Strain.
Eye strain is not a disease hut a
symptom, indicating that some un
usual effort is being made by the eye,
due to excessive or deficient light, an
error of refraction, such as astigmat
ism or, as quite often happens, some
systemic disturbance. The pupils, un
der continued close work and un
favorable environment, complain of i
pain, blurring of vision and Inability
to see distinctly. Headache comes on
the latter part of the day, home work
Is impossible, and naturally the so
called backward child Is the result.
The eyes have been overtaxed, the
muscles finally give way under con
stant strain, and what follows is a
tired eye In a tired child. Rest, at
tention to systemic disturbances, re
moval of focal infection and correc
tion of all errors of refraction, restore
the child to health and happiness.
School Lighting.
Jlr. William M. Howe of the New
Tork state department of education
states: "I believe that, in time, any
school service that does not prevent
most of these ocular defects, with
which we are meeting so often, will
he considered Inefficient and derelict
In it* duty to school children. There
Is something Intrinsically* wrong In
any educational system that permits
from S to 16 per cent of our children
to acquire defective vision w-lthln a
few years of their school lives. Few
children, as you know, are born with
defective vision.”
Proper school lighting should not be
considered an expense but in
economy. If due to defective vision,
a pupil Is forced to spend extra time
at school, Incurring extra expenditure
far greater than that resulting from
the proper lighting of our class
rooms.
It Is therefore necessary that suf
flclent Illumination value he supplied
for eny kind of work, as often too
low an intensity lead* to eye strain
and fatigue.
Our Industrie* hring about a greater
degree of efficiency and production
by a high level of lighting Why
should not our schools llkew-1** *|m
to accomplish the same with their
pupils?
Diffusion.
The harmful effects of light Inef
ficiency ars also seen in the other
extreme of glare. Glare 1* over
come by light diffueion, produced hy
globes, shades or reflectors, softening
the shadows, and preventing a re
flection. Of equal Importance is the
attention given to the walls and other
objects In the class room. Highly
polished furniture, glossy walls tend
hy Intense reflection to produce tired,
strained eyes. Our aim should he to
imitate outside daylight and If possi
ble to eliminate Its Irritating features.
