Addressing the members of the State AasoeUtion of Chiefs of Police, at Watertown, N. Y., last week, Fran¬ cis M. Hugo, Secretary of State, em¬ phasized the urgent need of a closer co-operation between the state and local police authorities in the rigid enforcement of a uniform regulation of all highway traffic. Speaking of motor car accidents. Secretary Hugo deciared that the problem bad not re¬ ceived the attention of the state au¬ thorities that it should bi^ve been given; in faet, the motor ear had not been taken seriously, nor had it been given Bufneient intelligent considera¬ tion by the state la the way of ade¬ quately safeguarding its operation with a view of preventing further loss of life and property. While these mishaps, he explained, were an un¬ fortunate phase of traffic conditions and could never be entirely elimin¬ ated, nevertheless, he believed that great hopes of Improvement rested to a large exttent In a rigid but sane en¬ forcement of existing laws, a broader and more extended practise of road courtesies and in a better education and experience on the part of all users of the highways In the altered conditions of present day trafflc.
"The widespread ignorance anu apathy of the ordinary rules of the road, however," declared Mr. Hugo, "is one of the most discouraging and unsatisfactory features manifested on our highways today and a practical as well as desirable remedy for this deplorable condition of affairs would seem to rest in the adoption of a sys¬ tem of Instruction in traffic dangers which could easily be taught by chart diagrams in every elementary school. In this way many accidents would be avoided and much o fthe chaos, risk and disorder in highway traffic would be cured. Aa for the rights of the pedestrian, there is no reason to believe that the majority of those who walk upon the highway would he so intolerant or .selfish as to wish- to cause unnecessary dangers and diffi¬ culties to wheel trafflc." Secretary Hugo suggested, however, in order that the problem might be more care¬ fully studied. It was extremely advis¬ able that there should be a system inaugurated whereby all accidents resulting in injury should be reported to one central authority; as is now retiuired with good results In some other States. If such a requirement were adopted, he ' declared, there would beestahllshed some satisfactory basis upon which to apply the proper remedy.
"During the past fourteen years," explained Secretary Hugo, "a loco¬ motive use of the highways has de¬ veloped with amazing swiftness, Thc tremendous growth in the number of motor vehicles in this state, exceed¬ ing 210,000 registered since Feb¬ ruary 1, together with hundreds of thousands of non-resident motorists touring our state, in addition to the rapid increase in the use of motor ambulances, fire apparatuses and motorcycles, ai] mean that the auto¬ mobile has become a national institu¬ tion, an interwoven factor every¬ where in our dally activities, both in business and pleasure, crowding our
highways wUh a swift, dangerous and highly complex machine, capable of causing the greatest Injury bt tke hands of th4- unskilled and reckless driver."
Becretary Hugo jpointed ont that it was this Istter phase of the problem which had increased thi^ burdens and responsibilities now resting upon the local police authorities for a proper snd sane enforcement of all traflle regulations together with the elimlb- atlon ot the deliberately reckless driver, who has become a serious pub¬ lic ntenai'e, by ibe »li utiK-ariii Uictuud. He declared that the situation had become especially critical ot late, aa these acidents seem to Increase so rapidly that Apparently their very frec|uency had made them inevitable hapenings and now, even ttae moet distressing, fall to shock us. "In fact," conscluded Mr. Hugo, "It Is only when one botes this startling in¬ crease, particularly in these summer months, when as many as seventy mishaps occur daily, that an appall¬ ing idea of the situation is quickly gained. For tbis reason, especially it is all-Important to the state and locality to unite in investigating all accidents and complaints as the sit¬ uation demands Intelligent co-opera¬ tion hy all concerned, particularly the reputable, considerate and law- abiding motorist, who should he es¬ pecially interested in suppressing the reckless. Insane and Incompetent drivers. Otherwise, tteak laws, strong opposition from fanatics and a con¬ tinued and growing misunderstanding on the part of the public will inevit¬ ably persist In increasing."

Eye-strain and Headache,
Now comes the new sciencg^of op¬ tometry, with abundant evidence of success In allaying those nervous and chronic headaches from which so many suffer, though otherwise in per¬ fect health. A short Journey to visit a friend or a relative; a day's outing on the river or at a picnic; an even¬ ing spent at the tlieatre, is followed by nervous or "sick headache," for which tho>re is no apparent cause, but just EO sure as these pleasures are in¬ dulged in so sure Is the after-suffer¬ ing to follow in a great many people. Medical science has always been at a loss to account for these disturbances, and reluctantly gave up the solution of the cause, admitting its inability to do more than proscribe resl to se¬ cure relief. But now comes the op¬ tometrist, with his hiathematical pre¬ cision in measuring the eyes and prove hy the abundance .of his suc¬ cess in furnishing lasting relief in such cases that eye-.strain is responsi¬ ble for more headaches than all other causes combined. Nor is there any disputing his theories, because he confidently points to immediate and permanent cessation of most head¬ aches when the eyes are relieved of all strain by the optometrist's method of prescribing lenses—a method, by the way, which refuses to counten¬ ance the use of drugs in the eyes, but secures results by methods of preci¬ sion undreamed of when the pupils are iilted. Tfce ufllformlr good re¬ sults obtained by the skiled optom¬ etrist fulfills the hope long enter¬ tained for a method that Is positive in furnishing relief to that large class of headache sufferers that has baffled both" the physician and the oculist, the latter's archaic methods heing entirely superseded by the op¬ tometrist.
Since medical colleges have always neglected 'to teach the art or science of fltting glasses, the optical colleges are graduating optometrists, who are

Loss WiU Be Keenly Felt by Aato¬ mobile Pet^le EveiTwhere. .
The death of A. R, Pardlngton, vice-president and general manager of tbe Lincoln Highway Association, is keenly felt in motor trade circles throughout America. A prominent figure in the development of the in¬ dustry, automobile men In New Tork and elsewhere teei his loss a personal one, so definitely has he left his im¬ press on the trend of motor car pro¬ duction of this country.
Mr. Pardlngton had been Identifled with automobile affaira for the past fifteen years, his Influence working to profitable effect chiefly through his interest in automobile racing and in proper highways. At 54, and until his death in Detroit, Wednesday, his conduct of affairs closely aligned with this interest was characterized by tbe same enthusiasm and energy ^ flrst made him a significant flgure in hla field.
In the automobile's earlier days, Mr. Pardlngton organized the Long Island Automobile Club, and was re¬ sponsible for the flrst Vanderbilt cup race on Long Island. It was through his influence that the most coveted trophy in motor car^competition was donated by William K. Vanderbilt, Jr., Mr. Pardlngton acted as referee of the initial contest of the racing classic.
As chairman of the American Au¬ tomobile Racing Committee, since be- come,;thO Contest Board, Mr. Pardlng¬ ton standardized automobile racing on a firm basis, and the contest rules that govern racing today are virtual¬ ly the same adopted by the racing committee at bis recommendation. He resigned the chairmanship of the rac¬ ing committee to accept the poeltlon of vice-president and general man¬ ager of the Long Island Motor Park¬ way, and when the Vanderbilt trophy and Grand prize trophy were turned over to the Motor Cups Holding Com¬ pany, Mr. Pardlngton was made ac¬ tive head of the company.
Then for a time he was connected with the commercial end of the In¬ dustry, and three years ago was chos¬ en vice-president and general man¬ ager of the Lincoln Highway Asso¬ ciation, with headquarters in Detroit.

• Broad-minded men and women throughout the world advocate the moderate uae of beer.
Our greatest physicians tell us that good beer has a distinct food value and when taken in moderation is beneficial to health.
Prof. H. P. B. Bowditch of Boston said:

Scientists assert thM t he moderate use of beer is a great aid to true temperance.
Henry Watterson said;
"The introduction of herr in .Amcr'icn hux done more for temperance than all the temperance societies and nil the prohibition lates combined."
The broadest minded of our clergy tell us that the use of wine has from time immemorial had the sanction of the Church, and one of the many authorities is found in the following remarks by the Rev. W. A. Wasson, New York:
"The use of alcoholic liquors is and alxcays has beeti considered not otily lei^ti- mate as a beverage but is consecrated and hatloxccd in the niost holy and teeighty rites of thc Christian Church."
With the hearty approval of Phygician, Clergy «md Scientiet, we recommend the moderate use of
