PRISON NOW FOR

A nine months sentence in the
county workhouse and a fine of $50

for Thomas Gibbons. who was charged
in City Court today with contempt of
court order, as he smiled when lea
from the court docket. In sentencing
Gibbons Judge Churchman said;
Gibbons. you have given us a great
deal of trouble and while you promised
to pay 81 a week toward the support
of your wife and two children IN
August, after a previous order OF 50
had been reduced, you at once lett the
jurisdiction of the court. You have
sent nothing for the support of your
family and we want it to be known
that we intend to get all those who

cases as yours will be severely dealt
with and I want to say that the police

Why Are Some Children Cross Eyed !?

The general public has many false
ideas concerning this unsightly defect
and consequently many parents are
prone to neglect it because of the hope
or the belief that the child will out
grow it,
Were the real cause and the conse-
quence of neglect of this condition more
generally known and accepted, great
benefit might result to many unfortunate
children and their lives made happier.
1t is not generally known that in the
majority of squirmng eyes, blindness
results to greater or less degree unless
attention be given them.
The primary cause in most children
who have this defect is the lack of the
power of combining the images seen by
the two eyes into one This faculty has
been lost or has not been developed with
the growth of the child Its development
may have been interfered with by diff
ference in the two eyes, one being far
sighted the other near-sighted, or there
may be other differences which interfered
with harmonious action. The child can
not focus both eyes on an object at the
same time, so in order to avoid the dis
comfort, or strain of effort, the weaker
eye gives up and crosses in order to
avoid the embarrassment of double
vision, which would otherwise occur.
Soon this habit becomes fixed, and per-
manent squirt is brought about. The
squirting eye, not receiving any
stimulus from use, gradually loses the
seeing faculty and partial blindness is
the result.
This loss of vision from disuse is more
rapid in the very young than In older
children. If child begins to squint at
the age of six months, and has good
vision in each eye. the squirting eye,
if neglected, will become blind in eight
or 10 weeks. If he does not begin to
squirt until he is IS months old the prog
ress of the blindness will not be so rapid,
but he will be blind in the squirting eye
in five or six months.
If he does not begin to squint until
the age of three years he seldom loses
the power of vision in less than year
thereafter. After the age of six years,
the danger is not so great and the child
may retain it to some extent. Every
child who shows symptoms of squint
should have early attention If sight is to
be preserved or the deformity prevented.
