&/>e first Gray Hair;
first Eye-Blur
—Have you suffered that first Pge-blur of the eyes that
comes with what we call middle-age? If you haven’t, it’s
because you’re not yet forty, for this eye-blur comes to
everyone at about that age. It usually occurs and is first
noticed when reading. This blur is a danger signal. It
forces you to get the facts about your eyes. If you already
wear glasses, from now on you will need new lenses for close
work. Therefore, it is immensely valuable to know that you
can have lenses for distance and for reading in one pair of
glasses: a combination of two pairs in one.
—These bifocals are a remarkable device. Istantane-
ously, you can change your glance from Distance, through
one type of lens, to Close-up, through another. With bifo-
cals complete range of vision, far and near, is instantaneous,
and this through beautiful inconspicuous lenses. In bifocals
all ti at science can give and artistry add are ta your com-
mand.

REGISTERED OPTOMETRIST
Oklahoma City, Ok., Sept. 2L—More
than a score of specific charges, all
alleging that Gov. J. C. Walton has
misused his official powers, are enom
orated in a call tor a special session of

“For a long time past the people of
our State have been patiently suffer-
ing and enduring from charges and
counter charges of certain conditions
in the State and It is now our belief
that the time has come when it is ne-
cessary to investigate such conditions
and charges in order that the people
of our state may know the truth, which
alone can make them free," the call
reads.
“The administration of the present
governor of the State of Oklahoma,
if charges that are openly made
against him are true, is one of repeat-
ed injuries, usurpations and blunders
evidencing the direct object of estab-
lishing and absolute tyranny and des-
potism over this commonwealth.
“To prove or disprove this, let a
full investigation be made and submit-
ted to the people of the State of Okla-
homa, by the House of Representatives
of tho proper body authorised by the
constitution to make such Investiga-
tions. and to present to the senate any
accusations which the impartial evi-
dence may justify.
“It has been and Is now openly as
sorted and charged throughout the
State of Oklahoma:

laws ef the State to be executed which
are most wholesome and necessary for
the public good;

ficially that he will not permit execu-
tion of the law which provides capital
punishment during the term of his of-
fice as governor, thus encouraging the

era and gunmen, which haa tended to
encourage the commission of crime,
all in direct violation of the constitu
tlon and laws cf the state and in vio-
lation of his oath of office as gover-
nor;
“That he has abused the power vest-
ed In him by the constitution and laws

of all characters;

a fraction of the people to rule and
to dictate the policies of the govern-
ment of all the people of this State, In
violation of both the letter and spirit
of tho constitution of the United
States and of the State;
"That he has given approval to a
doctrine foreign to our constitution
and laws, which would substitute for
ou: representative government a sys-
tem of group dictation such as exists
in Russia under its present regime;
“That he has combined with others
to subject the people of the State to a
jurisdiction foreign to the constitution
and unacknowledged by our laws, giv-
ing his assent and affirmation to ut-
terances and acts of certain classes, in
total disregard of law and well regu-
lated usage;
“That he has cxrted cls.33 antagon-
ism and domestic Insurrection among
us, P.rd ha3 endeavored to array class
|against class and religion against re-
j ’igion, in order that he may gain his
I political alms and desires thereby;
“That in public utterances he has
directed certain classes of people to
shoot down and kill other classes, de-
claring that if they do so he will Im-
mediately Issue to them a pardon;
"That he has assumed unto himself
legislative authority in opposition to
the constitution and laws of the State;
“That he has appointed multitudes
of new officers without authority of
iaw and sent swarms of them through-
out the State of Oklahoma to harras
the people and make them bow to his
acts ef despotism;
‘That he has called out the National
Guard of tho State of Oklahoma with
out just cause, has placed the entire
State of Oklahoma under martial law

thwarting the just constitutional and
fundamental rights of civilised people

whole State;
• ‘That he took personal charge of
said grand jury and ordered the same
dissolved, caused machine guns to be
placed in strategic places around the
courthouse of Oklahoma County,
(something which had not been done
before in 147 years) and by military
force refused to permit the courts of
justice to function; each and every
one of which acts were calculated to
complete his dictatorship and in total
disregard and violation of the consti-
tution and laws of the United States
and of the State of Oklahoma;
"That he threatened to arrest the
representatives of the people of the
State If they should attempt to as
aemble peacefully in discharge of their

I ‘That In an effort to stop these of-
fenses the people have advised and

ble terms and that the advice and pe-
titions have been met with rejections
and ostracism, showing a complete

PARCELS BY MAIL THREATEN
TO 8WAMP POSTAL SYSTEM
By Associated Press
Manila, Sept. 25.—Collect parcel
post packages to the amount of $515,-
000 were sent in 1922 from the United
States to the Philippines; the business
has grown so in the present year that
its total for 1924 is estimated at $5,-
000,000.
This would mean the handling and
deli”ery of something like 2,000,000
iseps’rv.te parcels, and the Philippine
1 postal authorities are wondering how
they can meet these demands. In-
creased postal appropriations will be
necessary, and the idea has been ad-
vanced ia some quarters that the col-
lect service should be discontinued.
