About twelve years ago the first
moving picture machine was exhibited
before the public. Since then they
have been improved and their number
increased until the cii eniatograph has
now become the central feature in a
busines.s extending all over the world
and involving investments of many
millions of dollars.
While tlie cinematograph was de
vised solely to amuse, time has wid
ened its scope until it now seems
likely to become of inealcuable value
to education, science and art.
The day is near when every public
school and similar institution wil! be
equipped with a moving picture ma- \
chine. Kven now they are no small j
factor in the education of the public.
The moving picture is to our eyes
wltat tho telephone is to our ears.
The individual iu good health with
normal eyes—that is. both emmetro
pic and orthophoric. will not suffer
much, if any. at the moving picture
show, provided it is not visited to ex
cess. The majority of persons with
normal eyes can endure four sittings
of thirty minutes each per week with
but little or no temporary unpleasant
symptoms and no permanent ill effect.
There is practically no difference in
the effect on ryes naturally normal or
thoso made normal with properly fit
ted Rhisses excepting in those ca.ses
where reflex conditions caused by eye
strain have not had sufficient time to
become normal.
There is no evidence to show that
"movies" aVe iniporiling the si^ht of
the nation. Careful investigation
leads to the oppo.-^ite conclusion. In
directly they are good things for the
eyes of the peojile, and in this way:
Latent eyn deieets that would ordin
arily worry ^nd a«inoy for years from
common usage are localizod and irri
tated by tho picturos in a very short
time until tho individual is led to
seek releif. This takes him to the
optometrist and hf' gets his optical
correction, together with eye safety
and comfort for the fiiture. Many i>or-
son.s now wear glasses who had hard
ly thought (jf their eyes, maeh less of
glasses, until they h*cam‘ patrons of
the movies, bocanso these visits re
vealed hidden defects.
Without any doubt the moving pic.
ture is a relentless sleutli when it
goes searcliiiig for eye aches or pains.
It has a seareli warrant tiiat permits
I it to try every nerve tost every
muscle. exi)lore every part of the ot »i-
lar system, both mechanical ami phy
sical. and if it doesn’t uni-over trouble.
, none that will cause discomfort exists.
For scientific discussion of the I'f-
fect of moving picture on the eye.s,
I we must also include th(* cause of the
moving picture on the eyes, we must
also include the {iiuse of the effect.
As Shakespeare says;
I “Find out the cause of this effect,
I or rather say. the cause of this defect,
for this effet defective comes by
cause.”
! Cau^je of ocular disturbance from
i viewing moving; pictures may be sub
divided under two heads, viz.: Me
chanical and physical.
I Mechanical causes are:
; 1. Glare. 2. Light Vibration. 3.
I Illumination with which may be in-
oludtd abs«>nce of color. 4. Faulty
or defective films. 5. Cnskilled or
I careless operators handling the ma-
I chinos.
Physical causes are:
1. Muscular anomalies. 2. Errors
of refraction. 3- Nerve disorders or
disease.
Recent improvements ^nd greater
care have almost entirely eliminated
the mechanical cau.ses in the better
picture houses, so that about the only
remaining mechanical causes that
could at all prove deterimental to
eyesight is that of glare, and the ab
sence of natural colors, w'hich latter
w’ill doubtless soon be remedied with
color films.
It may thus be readily seen that the
only harmful results iu viewing ihe
movies is found in defective vision, or
uncorrected eye defects, which optom
etry can remedy with proper lenses.
Errors of refraction exception pos
sible simple myopia .cause most of
the trouble, the amount depending on
the nature of the defects and the tem
perament of the individual. The
symptoms in these cases are about
the same as those resulting from con
tinued close application of the eyes in
ordinary work.
So you may be quite certain that
when your eyes tiouble in viewing
moving pictures, it is due, not to the
pictures, but to defective eyes which
call for optometry’s aid.
Nervous diseases and nerve affec'-
tions, functional in character are usu
ally aggravated, of course reflexly, by
the moving picture. When this oc
curs one should cease visits to the
movies until synptoms disappear.
From the publicity department of
one of the large accident Insurance
companies of America cemes the fol-
low^ing warning to automobile owners,
which is rather to the point in that
the insurance company tells what the
company suffered by having to pay i
claims for the lives of the careless
parties.
It precedes the review of the claims
paid with some advice for the garage
as follows;
“Don't run your engine in the gar
age with the doprs and windows clos
ed.
‘Tt is death to do this.
“Exhaust gases from gasoline en
gines contain carl»on monoxide In
DANGIOUOrS QUANTITIES.
"One fifth of one per cent carbon
monoxide in the air will produce FA
TAL IlESTTLTS.
"Not one person in one hundred
knows the danger.
“Spread this w^arning for the saving
of human life.”
Then the company explains the casos
upon which it had paid claims as fol
lows:
A lawyer in Sioux Falls. South Da
kota. had taken his family to a theater
but Instead of taking them him took
the car to a garage to have the lights
repaired. Later in tho night the fam
ily saw the lights burning in their
own shed but thought nothing oZ ft.
The next morning they made an Inves
tigation and found the lawyer dead be-
sido the car.
A forty foot launch containing a
three cylinder engine was owned by a
real estate dealer in Bellingham. Wash
ington. In the expectation of laying
the boat up for the winter he was
working on the engine indoors and
was suddenly overcome by the gas
from the exhaust and died in a few
moments.
While trying to put a now license
tag on his automobile an assistant to
a railroad president in Piiiladelphla
WPS overcome by gas and died.

Certain-teed
Roofing
CERTAIN-TEED is not chcapcr bccau::c the qr.^Hty is lower,
but because it is a less cxpc:iaive roofing to mnr.iifacturc. It is
better, not only because it is chcapcr, but aho bccausc it is light
weight, weather-tight, clcan, sanitary, f:rc-rctr^da::t and costa
practically nothing to maintain.
It is nov/ rccofxnized as the preferable type of roofinci for cfllce
buildi.ngs, factories, hotels, stores, warehouscij, farm
buildings etc., where durability is necessary.
CERTAIN-TEED is guaranteed for 5,10 or 15 years, accord-
ing to thickness (1, 2 or 3 ply).
There are many roll roofings on the market, but only one
CERTAIN-TEED. It pays to get the best. It costs no more
to hy a CERTAIN-TEED roof than it does to lay a poor
roof, but there is a vast difference in the wear. You can’t tell
the quality of a roofing by looks or feel. Your only safety is the
label. Be sure that it is CERTAIN-TEED—then you arc
ctrtain of quality and guaranteed satisfaction.
