WHITE DRESSES HURT
EYES OF LITTLE ONES
Colored Garments and Walls
Advised by Optical Society
Convention Speaker

The mother who takes such pride in
seeing baby dressed all in white will have
to remodel her tastes OF else continue TO
fail TO do her duty by baby II she in
sists on white dresses for the little one
she will be sacrificing the welfare Of the
Infants eyes to her own peculiar preju-
dices in the matter OF what is proper in
Infants wear such at any rate. is the
statement OF Prof. Frederick A. wor OF
Columbia University, who spoke Mt the
convention of the Pennsylvania Optical
Society I'm the Hotel Adelphia
The worst color TO which baby's eyes
can be exposed is white" he declared at
the optometrists' meeting. And this goes
not only Tor dresses but also for white
papered bedroom and nursery walls.
The mother who dresses her baby in
white allows 1t to be in room with
white walls, or wheels Il about in a white
coach, is impairing her childs vision"
declared Professor Vol. Because of
the irradiating tendencies of white. con-
stant exposure to IL will lay a founda-
tion for ocular troubles. White is usually
selected for clothing and walls because
IT shows dirt and gives warning when
washing is needed. We should know
whether an article is dirty from the
length Of time 1t has been in service, and
not wait until the dirt is apparent. In
selecting colors for walls and clothing
white should be replaced by browns,
light tans and greenish grays
Another consideration in eye hygiene
which shows menace to the eyeslght
Is our method of printing. Virtually all
books are so printed that the line of
type or width of the column is too
wide. In reading a line of print the
eye does not move gradually from let
ter to letter, but progresses by quick
jumps. An eye should not be required
to make more than three jumps TO n
line. newspaper column is of such
a width that a line in it may be read
with three jumps, and is therefore a
very satisfactory column"
This is the second and last day of the
annual convention of the Pennsylvania
Optical Society. The session reopened
this morning with a business meeting,
The convention will close tonight with
the annual banquet in the Hotel Adel-
phia.
The headquarters of the convention are

LAUNDERING OVER OATS' IS DEPLORED
 BY ENGLISH EDITOR

London, Sept. 9AAn urgent. appeal in behalf of a cats home, stating that ..tf1is dreadful war will break us un-. less our kind friends help us to hold 'on,', moves The Times to an editorial protest.
 sIn the throes of the most fright 'fuI war of modern times,'' remarks the paper, when millions of human beings are suffering death, nlutila- ton, famine, disease and the added anguish that comes of looking before and after, e9hortations to bestow aims upon animals seem a little out of season. 2
 The appeal for the home for cats is signed by a large number Of names out of the peerage.

A cart calls for. patients, eand.s in urgent cases a special messenger is sent for them. There is also a night bell so that pa tients may be received at all hours. Wealthy persons wishing to get rid Of their pets may do so at a moderate fee.
 One serious phase of the cat situa- ton is the large number left behind by deported or interned Germans.
 The appeal admits: eIt is dreadful to have to ask for animals when our poor and the: nation and dear soldiers require so much, but the rescue work must go on.'H

GERMAN FACTORY TURNS OUT MANY
 BIG LOCOMOTIVES

Cassel, Sept. 9-Although more than a, thousand of it's 5000 employees here have been drawn into the army, the HenscheI & Son Locom otive Works, the largest institution of it's kind in Europe, has been able to keep the output of it's plants here and in Westphalia at par or above. Foreign orders which formerly called for 40 per cent of it's output. have fallen off almost entirely but the German gov ernment has worn out so many loco motives in war work that the home market has taken up all the supply.
 The decreased number of employees who have been working long hours to keep the output at normal have earn ed large sum in overtime pay. The average production at the Cassel plant is 1000 locomotives a year. Tn addition to keeping up to this figure during the past year, the plant has perfected and put into. commission a new type of locomotive that is the last word in European engines. As fast as these can be turned out the Prus- sian railway system is taking them.
 One of the last commissions from a foreign country which the Hensche1 plant in CasseI received was an or der for 80 locomotives for Roumania Roumania at that time was not con- sidered as a possible participant in the war, and Hensche1 & Son went ahead with the order.
