Show MOTOR GOGGLES A NECESSITY. II a girl find that she' is apt to have! a severe headache after a long autenio-hibi autenio-hibi ride the chances ure ten lo out that the trouble is with her eyes. She, probably is more near sighted thau she realize aud the strain of trying to see . every object on the horizon through the zlass of her goggles is a greater tax on' her optic nerves than she knows. ThN; girl should at once consult an oculist and have w ritten out for her n prescription fol eycglessc to bt fitted in her motor go-, Sic. The relief will be instanuneous. 1'raelically every oue ha some slight eye defect, not necessarily so serious itj . to make obligator" the weflring of gUisec' continually, but when automobile glasses are worn the extra strain of seeing through even tbe l-Iuin glass is almost, sure to accentuate any previous trouble.. Even slight astigmatism will bo kept in j check by use of regular prescription glasses in the goggle, while for n girl troubled with short sight the pleasure of: her motor tnp will be doubled. TTie: glasses will act as opera glasses and will, enable her to sec just so much, more of I k world about her. 1 4 The larger the glass piece aud tbe smaller the leather and metal binding in u pair of motor goggles the- better. The mqst comfortable glasses to wear ure those having a wide single piece of glass across both eyes, with side glasses em hinges, to allow of the goggles being folded up w hen uot in use. There should always be a leather case bought with a pair of goggles, iu which to keep the-m safe when uol in actual service. Goggles at best are scarcely becoming, but the t.ui leather binding, mulching the. color of the motor veil and coat, w ill lrr.k more attractive than n gray or black leather. Even though goggles are se unbecoming, unbecom-ing, they hhould be woru at all Limes, even for short country runs. Especially while one is young, it does not pay lo take risks with one's eyes, uiid the- rushing rush-ing through the wind, with the combination combi-nation of the full glare of the sun. is bound to be injurious to the eyes. An ounce of prevention iu the form of never motoring without weaiiug goggle is surely sure-ly worth a pound of cure iu ihu form of donning spectacles for the rt of one's life. |
