If your eyes bother you at the movies, do not blame ihe pictures, but consult your doctor about yor eyes. This is the advice given by the United States Public Health Service, according to a writer the "'American Journal of Public Health" (Chicago), who says:—"The fact that millions of people go to motion-picture shows through. out the United States daily without experiencing any discomfort ro their eyes, or that such eye trouble that is found is not traceable to overindulgence' in the movies, would seem to indicate that motion-Pictures are not injurious to the vision.
"Tu this connexion it may be pointed out that employees of motion-picture playhouses who spend a large part of the day looking at the pictures, do not seem +o be troubled with their eyes any more than the average individual. Tt is safe to say a person may witness a picture-play lasting about an hour and a half each day wit'- out straining the eyes or experiencing any discomfort, provided the eyes are good and there are no hidden defects to the vision." the course of an interview at Amsterdam a member of—the Japanese Mission now staying in Berlin declared that opinion in Japan towards Germany was very favourable (as is shown, says the "Japan Chronicle," by the con. fication of German property). and that Japanese commercial and industrial circles intended to resume economic relations with Ger-yas soon as possible. Japan has already made a_ beginning, the Nippon Yusen Kaisha having established a branch office in Hamburg, while sending monthly a steamer from Yokohama to Hamburg. Moreover, four other, Japanese firms have started branch offices in Germany. Japan would he able to supply before long large quantities of copper and silk, in exchange for German chemicals. Japan, however. did not intend to sive large credits. there was no great difficulty in seeing the stage; others that there was. But®all agreed that the opposition was organized, and did not come from regular playgoers. Indeed, the bulk of the gallery was most indignant about the interruptions, and several declared. that they saw mien they knew by sight as belonging to a gang of play-wreckers.
Moreover, these men used little glass bulbs which explode when thrown, and several boxes of "Poudre Infernal" were found in the gallery. The fact seems to be that a gang, which had been seen before the beginning of the play in theatre Garrick Court, had visited the vith the express intention of creating a disturbance, and the legitimate grievance of not being able to sce the stage gave them a good opening for starting interruptions.
