Barnett- Alexander
Wedding Solemnized
The interest not only of all Meri-
dian but of friends throughout the
state, centered around the brilliant
garden wedding which took place
Wednesday evening at the home of
Dr. and Mrs. J. H. Alexander when
their daughter, Miss Loreen Alexan-
der became the bride of T. Rowland
Barnett of Waco.
The Rev. Dr. Robert E. Goodrich,
pastor of the Austin Avenue Metho-
dist church of Waco, officiated with
the ring ceremony. The ceremony
took place before an improvied al-
ter of banked ferns, and an artistic
arrangement of tall baskets of flow-
ers on either side formed a beautiful
setting for the bridal party. Long
beds of shasta daisies, extending from
side entrances, flanked the approach
to the alter.
Prior to the ceremony, Miss Selma
Schow, violinist, of Clifton, played
"Cavatina" by Raff. Mrs. Leslie
Cooper, mezzo-soprano, sang "I Bring
Thee Heartease," by Branscomb, ac-
companied by the bride's brother, Dr.
Elmo Alexander of Galveston at the
piano and with violin obligato by
Miss Schow. Dr. Elmo Alexander
played the modern "Wedding March"
by de Koven for the entrance of the
bridal party and during the ceremony
"Berceuse" from Jocelyn by Godard.
The bridal procession retired to the
strains of Mend els ohiVs "Wedding
Mardh" as a recessional. The bride
was lovely indeed in a gown of white
duchess satin skillfully draped with
Spanish lace, rare and unusual in
design, and embrodered in pearls and
crystal beads. Her long court train
of satin was embossed with a beauti-
ful appliqued ribbon rose motif, and

Wrigley's Answer.
William Wrigley, Jr., the chewing
gum magnate, was talking to a little
party of men in a smoking car the
other day, and telling how much
chicle is used each year for chewing
gum. "But Mr. Wrigley," said one
of his hearers, "you've spent millions
of dollars and created a splendid de-
mand now; everybody talks about and
chews Spearmint; your demand is
steady and growing isn't it a waste
to spend so many thousands of dol-
lars advertising a product that is
already so well known?"
And Mr. Wrigley, studying a mo-
ment, answered:
"My friend, if I were to stop adver-
tising, it would be just like taking the
engine off of this train. It would
slow down, and after a little while it
would stop. Advertising is the loco-
motive of business and if you don't
keep it up business comes to a stop."

W. A. Johnson Now A Licensed Op-
tomatrist.
W. A. Johnson, of this place, is the
recipient of a standard license issued
to him by the Texas State Board in
Optometry, permitting him to con-
tinue in the practice of optometry.
Mr. Johnson was in Dallas on June
8, 9 and 10, at which time he took
the examination under this board.
This meeting of the Board of Exam-
iners was the first under the new
Optometry Law available to those in
practice), who desired to take the
standard examination. There were
175. applicants who qualified under
the Board requirements, and of this
number only 40 per cent, were suc-
cessful.
The Optometry Law which became
effective Nov. 15, 1921, was designed
to meet a public need, and to render
a public service. Previous to this
time, anyone, irrespective of character
or training, could examine eyes and
fit glasses. The enforcement of this
law will put a stop to this as the
public will be protected not only from
fraud, but from the ignorance of the
incompetent.
Uder the laws regulating most of
the other professions, those engaged
in the practice at the time of the pas-
sage of the law regulating that prac-
tice, were exempt from any examina-
tion or test. This is not so with the
Optometry Law. It provides that all
those engaged in the practce must
notify the board of examiners of their
intentions of continuing the practice
and must agree to take such exami-
ation as the board may prescribe be-
fore January 1, 1923. Upon satis-
factory evidence, they are granted
a temporary certificate, which certi-
ficate is valid until January 1, 1923.
By this date every one will have taken
the examination. In order to be fair
to the older men whose advantages
were limited, they will only be re-
quired to take what will be known as
a limited examination. For those
who do not come under this classifi-
cation, far more stringent regula-
tions are prescribed and they must
take what is known as the standard
examination. They must show pre-
liminary educational training and be
graduated from an optometry school
maintaining a standard which meets
the requirements of the board, or
have studied two years under an op-
tomatrist licensed under this law, be-
fore he is permitted to take the ex-
amination. This examination con-
sists of tests in practical, theoretical
and physiological optics, in theoretical
and practical optometry and anatomy,
physiology and pathology of the eye.
All license issued by the board
must be filed with the county clerk
in every county in which licentiate
may practice and must be prominent-
ly displayed in his place of business.
Among other things this law provides
that for unprofessional or dishonor-
able conduct of a character likely to
deceive or defraud the public, not only
revokes his license, but he is subject
to proscuteion in the courts. This
eliminates the evil of canvassing and
house to house peddling, and the pub-
lic is warned in patronizing these
peddlers that are likely to be called
in court as a witness against such
violators of the law. This law has
teeth in it, as the penalties provided
for violation are severe—$50 to$500
fine, and imprisonment from two to
six months in jail.
