ing FUNDS TO carry on It's WORK.
There are more than 100000 blind
persons in the United States, and it is
estimated that Ia 10000 of these cases
the loss of sight was preventable To
combat this condition the American
Association For the Conservation of
Vision was organized in Buffalo, and
this society has begun campaign to
raise $1,000 to aid it in its work
In the New York State School For
the Blind there are twenty pupils from
Erie county, nine of whom were the
victims of birth infections, which, If
promptly and properly treated, might
easily have been cured. 1t is the pur-
pose of the association to endeayor to
obtain through the health boards of the
various cities effective action for the
control of these infectious diseases Of
the eye, especially ophthalmia neona-
forum.
The association is also endeavoring
to secure in factories and workshops
more adequate lighting and more gen.
eral use of protective devices to pre-
vent accidents to the eyes. But, above
all, the association desires to extend
knowledge on the subject and enlist
the cooperation of all who through in
terest in the subject or through their
occupation can aid in preventing the
unnecessary loss of eyes through care
lessness or ignorance.

home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs L..

a complication of diseases.
Doctor Robinson was born thirty
years ago and early in life was seized
with an ambition TO secure an educa-

in Martinsburg he secured a position
in Washington, and by strict applica-
ton to his duties he rose rapidly, and
was considered one OF the most eff
cient clerks In the government serv-
Ice.
While in Washington he matricula-

and began the study of dentistry. Here
he displayed his talents and his apti-
tude for his chosen profession, and
when he was graduated in 1910 it was
with the highest honors ever confer
red upon student leaving that school
In all the history of this well-known
institution of learning no student ever
Robinson.
Immediately following his gradua-
ton he entered upon the practice of
his profession in Washington. He at
once took high rank. but hard study
and close application to his profession
soon undermined his health and he
was compelled to give up his work in
an effort to regain his health
Instead of improving he grew grad
ually worse, and four months ago he
came TO the home OF his parents to
spend the remainder of his days Here
all that loving hands or medical skill
could do failed to stay the progress
OF the dread disease and he passed
away at the time stated.
October %, 1903, DR. Robinson was
married to Miss May Boteler, a very
accomplished and talented lady of
Washington. To this union one son,
Lewis. was born. The doctor and his
family visited Martinsburg frequent
ly, and enjoyed wide acquaintance

MRS. JOHN J. HETZEL


A telephone message received here
from Berkeley Springs conveyed the
shocking intelligence that Mrs. John

Mrs. Hetzel was spending the sum
mer at Berkeley Springs and was IN
her usual good health lately, except
that she was a sufferer from neural
gia for years, until last Sunday when
she complained OF a severe pain in
the back part of her head This at
tack, however, excited no particular
alarm as ii was thought to be but
momentary. About 1890 a. m, Tues
day she suddenly fell to the floor and
those first on the scene thought il
was simply fainting spell But the
attack proved to be hemorrhage Of
the brain, causing instant and entire
paralysis and she expired about four
hours afterwards without ever regain
ing consciousness. Her husband arrly-
ed at her bedside at noon, having
been summoned from MartInsburg
Funeral Director Kogelschatz, this

born at Everett, Bedford county Pa
She and her family removed TO this
city from New York in June 1901, and
in the eleven years OF her residence
in Martinsburg she attracted TO her
self a large circle OF friends and ad
mirers.H She possessed many Iowa
BILE traits of character and 10 her
more intimate friends she was fondly
endeared; so that her death has cast
a gloom in many households She
was a faithful member OF The Metho

survived by six children Guy and

CLINICAL THERMOMETERS

T TITLE does one think when he is in bed
- with fever, with piece of glass sticking
out of his mouth and the doctor waiting i'm
patiently for it, to what great trouble the
makers of the thermometer have gone to
make the instrument accurate. The things
necessary in good clinical thermometer are,
first and above all, one that reads accurately;
secondly, one that will show the temperature
change in the shortest possible time; thirdly,
one that will not carry germs; and, fourthly,
it must be self registering.
There are more things in the way OF ac-
curate reading than one would think. The
glass has to be melted and blown, and some
glass takes several months to settle back to
its normal size; so, if the thermometer has
been filled and graduated in the meantime
inaccurate readings are the natural result.
If the bore is large, and therefore holds
comparatively large quantity of mercury,
the mercury will be cooled by outside air be-
fore it rises to the point it would otherwise
when heated by the mouth. To get quick
reading, the heat has to get to the mercury
quickly through the glass, and as glass is a
poor conductor of heat it has to be made
very thin indeed for quick results. In order
that no germs may be carried, the ther1nome-
ter is made as nearly smooth as possible and
the marks are put on the inside of the glass.
The self registering device is ingenious. 1t
shows the highest temperature to which the
thermometer has been subjected and does
not come back" till put back by the ply
sician. Just above the mercury bulb there
is smaller bulb, nothing more than a widen
ing of the tube; above this is contraction

in the glass, making the tube very small in
deed. When the mercury expands, it is
forced up through this contraction by the
enormous pressure of heat expansion; but
when it cools off and starts to come back
with nothing pulling it but its weight, it cam
not come. The physician, after looking at
it, generally gets it back by holding it in his
hand, bulb outward, and describing semi
circle very quickly with his arm. The centr
fugal force here developed is greater than the
weight of the mercury, and so brings it back.
The United States Government through
its Bureau of Standards, took an interest in
the accuracy of clinical thermometers on the
market and requested several firms to submit
samples for inspection. All did so, and awaited
with anxiety the result of the bureaus tests.
1t was found that large number of the ones
submitted did not agree with recognized
standards and that their accuracy was there
fore none too great. So the bureau undertook
to examine and fully test all thermometers
got out, at small cost, and to put on them
the mark of the bureau, which guarantees
their accuracy at the time of testing and their
continued accuracy within small limits for the
rest of the time Their inability to guarantee
accuracy after testing is due to the unknown
factor of glass contraction, due to cooling
from excessive heat in their manufacture.
On the end of every thermometer tested,
therefore, are to be found etched in the glass
the letters B. S. and following them the serial
number of that particular thermometer so
that whenever it is desirable or necessary one
can always see whether or not he is using a
Government tested instrument.

that l had saved her life, and asked me

my experiences; giving me no chance to

me with such wonder at her 1oveliness that
