The mule was 48 years. old on Nov. 15, 1942, and still going. The age of this mule can be substantiated by competent proof. “Davis, in his younger days, drove this mule while courting the girl he married.

Work of optometrists has increased greatly in recent months because many older persons are going back to work in war factories and because of the great precision necessary on much war work, according to Dr. R..J. Weldon, who is in charge of the optical department at the Wm, H. Block Dr. Weldon said that many persons told him they had nét realized how much they needed new glasses until they began working on small parts where the maximum tolerance was often as fine as one ten-thou-sandth of an inch. In addition to fitting regular glasses, Dr. Weldon’s department is engaged in making special safety glasses for one of the largest war factories in Indianapolis. In these glasses, designed for workers who ‘ordinarily wear glasses, the lenses are twice’ as thick as in ordinary glasses. They are strong enough to resist breaking even though a onepound ball is dropped a distance of one foot upon them. The glass in these special safely glasses is similar to that used in ordinary glasses but, in addition to its great thickness, it is put through a special hardening process much like the tempering of steel. Dr. Weldon said he had had no cases of breakage reported to him yet. In departments of war plants that

{have found the tri-focal especially useful, Dr. Weldon pointed out. The war has reduced greatly the number of styles of glasses, he said. Whereas manufacturers of frames formerly had as many as 50 different types of nosepieges, that number has been cut to only two or three at present.

Dr. J. T. Bryant, who is in charge of the micro-chemical laboratory of Eli Lilly & Co. will speak at the Indiana section luncheon meeting of the American ‘Chemical society at Hotel Severin tomorrow. Dr. Bryant willy discuss “catalytic hydrogenation,” a method by which hydrogen is added directly to one chemical substance to change it into another. It is the basis of the production of solid cooking fats from liquid oils and is, the basis of some

DIFFERENCES IN PRICES REDUCED

Costs at Various Stores ‘To Be More Uniform,

Warren Says.

The wide price spread that now exists among different stores on similar commodities will be greatly reduced under a revised price ceiling plan to be placed into effect within a few weeks, Dr. G. E. Warren, acting price administrator of the Indiana office of price administration, announced today. “The present differences reflect widely varying operating practices and conditions as they existed among retailers last March,” Dr. Warren said. “There still will be some differences, but they will be not nearly so great. Prices will be standardized in class groups to eliminate the, wide spread. The present number of groups, set up to take into account widely varying conditions, will be reduced for the sake of simplicity.” Some food price ceilings will be changed, Dr, Warren said, to make it possible for merchants to keep their shelves stocked with commodities which they can not profitably offer under present conditions. The relative position of the consumer will be only slightly affected, however, and the price revisions will benefit the retailer only in the opportunity afforded him to maintain the best possible service, Dr. Warren asserted. “Existing and forthcoming regilations will provide definite markups over the cost of comm es to retailers,” ‘he said. “They do not, however, necessarily guarantee added monetary profits as such profits commonly are thought of. A table of mark-ups for different size stores and as between chain stores and independent stores will provide every retailer with a ready determination of his ceiling price. “Of considerable importance in the method of alloting mark-ups is the efficiency with which a business is operated. A merchant may eat up the percentage of mark-up permitted him if he uses wasteful methods. The consumer will be affected only slightly by the future ceilings. Indianapolis food cost levels are next to the lowest in the United States. There is every indication we will continue to hold that position.”

Subscribers Ask Phone Rate Hike

The Indiana public-service com-

| mission today awaited its most

unusual petition—a plea by telephone subscribers at the little community of Moreland to have their rates boosted. Officials of the Commonwealth Telephone Corp. said they were threatened with the loss of four switchboard operators’ services to higher-paying war industry jobs. The corporation, claiming imability to pay higher wages to the operators, announced that service probably would be curtailed. Faced with the loss of telephone service, citizens moved to obtain increased rates which they will be required to pay. About 270 subscribers will appear before the commission and request the increase.

A century of service to American Famalies

O~ February 1, 1843, Mutual Life’ 8s Policy No. 1.. in the amount of $5,000, was issued on the life

a New York business man. This

was the first life insurance policy issued in America by any company operating on the mutual plan. Today we enter our second century of service to American families, with nearly 1,000,000 policyholders, more than $314 hillions of insurance in force and—we hope—some: of the foresight and courage

From the beginning, The Mutual Life was a distinctive American institution, operated in the public interest. It was the first company to return its earnings solely to its own policyholders. . « first to entrust the conduct of its affairs to trustees representative of : its policyholders. . . first to develop the “agency syse salute our own agency force and those of faferance Sumpasie for the public service

Their soundness has been proved by a century of performance through wars, depressions and other catastrophes. The Mutual Life in the last 100 years has paid more than $414 billions in benefits to policyholders and their beneficiaries. Today it is a national institution, with offices in 47 States and the District
