Alaska’s He-Men Are
Reluctant as Women
To Wear Glasses
LOS ANGELES, W)—Alaska’s
he-men are as reluctant as women ]
when it comes to wearing glasses,
an optometrist said today.
The typical male seems to think
there is something wrong with
wearing glasses, D, E. E. Bach of
Anchorage told a reporter. He is
here for the 60th annual congress
of the American Optometric Assn.
“The man of 45 or 50 who gets
glasses for the first time will even
insist his distance vision is per
fect when, as a matter of fact, he
sees the building across the street
as nothing but a fog bank.”
He said the he-man’s reluctance
to wear glasses comes from the
same impulse as the women’s re
luctance—vanity.
