this country visited Dr. Dallos and were so Impressed by his method that they resolved to introduce it into England.
"The original scheme," the "Lancet" says, "was to take moulds here and to send them to Buda- pest, where a contact lens of the same shape would be ground and sent back. But Dr. Dallos has now come himself to England. His help is available to all ophthal- mologists who will be able to take advantage of his special know- ledge.
HIGH COST The process of fitting contact glasses is elaborate and laborious and the cost is necessarily high; there is thus no reason to suppose that they will be used extensively for ordinary errors of refraction. But in extraordinay pases their virtue after the wearer has be- come accustomed to them is said to be beyond doubt.
"High myopes will beneft," the "Lancet" states,""from the increase in the field of vision and in the size of the retinal image; aphakic patients will and their sense of disorientation abolished by the return of the apparent size of objects to normal. and the loss of peripheral distortion; thus after extraction of one lens for cataract a monocular contact lens can be. used to re-establish binocular vision. Surface irregularities such as conical cornea, irregular as- tigmatism and faceted scars give perhaps greater improvement in visual acuity than any other type of case."
The glasses, as has been said, become part of the eye and afford as little discomfort, apparently, as well-atting dentures.-"Times."

SAN FRANCISCO
PORT OF
Compactly arranged on its 400-acre man-made site on Treasure Island in San Francisco Bay, the 1939 Golden Gate International Exposition will be striking in architectural beauty, dominated by its 400-foot tall Spire to the Sun, which may be seen here in the center of the Court of the Seven Seas. Just Inside the huge Elephant Gates, main entrance to the Exposition, the great sculptured murals and relief maps which carry out the theme of “Discovery" will be found along the Court walls, a section of which may be seen in the above plcture to the left of the tower. This view was taken from an elaborate model of the Exposition city now on display in a specially con- structed pavilion in Union Square, center of San Francisco's down-town business district.
