HOW WE CAN AID IN THE
 PREVENTION OF BLINDNESS
SOCIAL SERVICE DnPARTMnNr By MRS. SIDNEY M. ULLMAN

We seldom consider the necessity of taking precaution to protect the eyes when we think of childbirth, but when 1t is known that 50 per cent of all blind- ness is preventable if taken in charge at birth of the child. the work of the pre- vention of ophthalmia or babies sore eyes become social problem and should be work undertaken conscientiously by all woman's clubs, children's hospitals and nursing organizations.
 IL Is appalling to note that more than one-fourth of the patients in the schools for the blind are sightless because their eyes were not properly treated during the first few days of life.
 Neglected sore or weak eyes, after an attack of infectious diseases, such as measles scarlet fever, etc, and progress sive nearsightedness. household and in- dustrial accident, drinking of wood alco- hol. or inhaling it's fumes. inadequate lighting and g,aring surfaces are few of the other causes responsible for blind ness.
 An article of Caroline Conant Van Blarcom, secretary of the national com AiieeSo Aoi thC ol biinuucSs recommends that the following questions be asked the health department of the city:
 1. Does the birth certificate used in your locality include the question, What pre- ventive did you use for ophthalmia neona forum? If none. state the reason there for"
 9. Are prophylactic outfits distributed gratuitously by your health officer to doc tors and midwives?
 3. Are doctors, midwives and parents re- quired to report to the health officer within six hours. redness, swelling or dis charge from the eyes of infants in their care who are under three weeks of age?
 4. Is this reporting law printed on the birth certifcate-thus acting as a constant reminder?
 5. Has the department of health a nurse in it's employ, or does it so cooperate with a nursing organization that 1t may send nurse at once to visit each re- ported case and secure adequate medical or hospital treatment for uncared- for cases?
 6. Are there such hospital facilities for the care of babies sore eyes that the health officer may send an infant to a hospital without delay if the eyes are in a serious condition?

TWO SOUTH BEND
MEN IN ACCIDENT
R. H. KerSey and A. w. Everett
Injured at WOOdSCrOSSlng,
Goshen.

Robert IT. Kersey, $40 w. Madison
St. lies in a Goshen, Ind, hospital In
a serious condition, following an acct
dent at the deadly Woods crossing.
west of Goshen. A. w. Everett, also
of South Bend. lies in a bed not far
from that in which his employer was
placed. His condition, too. is serious.
Late Tuesday night, Mrs. Kersey
was talked to by a representative of
The News-Times. She had fastened
TO Goshen a short time after the acct
dent, which occurred Tuesday morn
ing about 1880 o'clock. According to
Mrs. Kersey, both her husband and
his helper in the contracting business
are resting easily, and the hospital
authorities subStantiated the report.
However, a news dispatch from Gosh
en- was TO the effect Kersey was dy-
ing
Kersey and Everett were driving
from Knox. Ind, 10 South Bend via
Goshen. Reaching the Woods cross
ing, Kersey stopped his machine on
the interurban tracks of the c., s. b.
& N 1. Ry- Co, and watched Big
Four freight train pass. So intent
were they upon the train and so great
was the noise from the Big Four
tracks that both men failed to note
the approach of the interurban. The
machine was badly wrecked.
Hurled - Feet.
That the interurban was going at a
terrific pace is evident from the fact
that while only the rear end of the
automobile was struck, Everett was
hurled 40 feet. Kersey was pinioned
beneath the wreckage of the auto
mobile.
Paul Michael of the county infirm-
airy, on his way to Goshen and on the
opposite side of the crossing, facing
the South Bend men, says they seemed
oblivious of the motorman's signals.
Mr. Michael was the first TO reach the
wreck after the crash.
Henry Grippe, Goshen contractor
who is excavating for the Elkhart por-
ton of the west-side" highway
which Will eliminate Woods crossing,
heard the crash. and fastened to the
scene in his automobile. He rushed
the two men to the hospital where
medical aid was given.
In the automobile was found roll
Of cable and some well-digging tools
which the men had been using the day
before near Knox. Everett lives at
107 Colfax av.. South Bend.
To Care for Fair Crowds.
The interurban which figured in the
wreck was being taken to Goshen to
handle the fair crowds. After the
accident. however. it was returned to
EIkhart and left there.
Reports as to the injuries sustained
by the accident victims differ. Both
mems skulls are reported fractured
and it is said Everett suffers also
fractured hip. Kersey's condition was
reported critical late in the afternoon.
while still later a Goshen dispatch said
ne was dying, following which the
wife and hospital authorities claimed
ne was resting easier.
