Autoing and Optics.

"Is not auto driving terribly hard on the eyes?”weasked guess not,” repliled the chauffeur, withering us with scorn. ‘Why, before I got to runnin’ a car I was thinkin’ o’ geftin’ specks, my eyesight was that poor I couldn’t see the contribution box in church until it was so near past me it Was too late to dig for any money: But I hadn't been runnin’ that wagon two days till I could see a policeman’s little fingers stickin’ out from behind a tree four miles away. I could even see which way a copper’s eyeballs were turned If he was standin’ in the shade three miles off. Hard on the eyes! Well, not much! It’s the best medicine for weak eyes that was ever invented, don’t you forget it.”
