RESTRICTED VISION IN CITIES

Speaking Of the practice OF wearing

about the human eye that the average
person is constantly overlooking. We
talk a great deal about the influence of
color. about glare. and all that sort Of
thing Unquestionabiy color has great
deal to do with the weakness Of the
human eye at this time Glare figures as
an important factor IN the impairment Of
the human sight. IN the matter OF color
there is so much rioting in these latter
DAYS that the eye is kept IN an almost
constant strain. Red Is Violently rcd
green violently green. and So or. until
the eye Is simply strained beyond the
nc rrnal in an effort TO visualize the hue.
and hence the optic nerves are. in s mea-
sure strained and injured But this IS
NJ the greatest danger when we come
II think Of modern tendencies 50 far as
the human eve Is concerned. There are
other conditions which are Infinitely
more injurious than the matter OF color.
The glare IS had enough. too The cleo
tric and incandeSeent lights are simply
fearful on ones eyesight But the thing
quarrel with more than with any other
influence is the condition which limits
the scope OF ones vision The eye

many suggestions have been received
