YOUR HE TIL

by ROYAL S. COPELAND. NJ ID.
Commissioner OF Health, New York
City.
Nothing e. more cruel than TO ex-
cite false hopes. A recent example
OF the harm OF half knowledge IS
the widespread repetition OF a story
about the cure OF atrophy OF the
optic nerve. When first read II 1
felt sorry for the capable and learn
ed physician who was quoted I
knew he would regret more than
anyone else the unjustihed hope
stimulated IN so many hearts BY the
mlsdirected enthusiasm Of some
weil-meaning reporter.
The optic nerve Is not unlike a
telephone cable. II is made up OF
a great many strands or hbr7s.
These come from the brain and run
20 different parts OF the retina Of
the eye. In the optic nerve itself
they are packed and held together
like a great bunch Of pencils in a
package. Surrounding them is the
covering or sheath Of the nerve.
The optic nerve comes from the
interior OF the skull. passes along
the bony socket in which the eye
ball Is contained. and enters the eye.
As soon as Il Penetrates the outer
envelope OF the eye, the outside
sheath stops and the naked fibres
spread out to reach every portion
or the retina OF the eye.
am anxious 20 place emphasis
on the num0er-the multitude. in
deed-of these individual nerve
fbres. You must not picture the
optic nerve as solid thing like a
bar OF iron or a piece Of wire. II
is like a coll OF hair, many-strand-
cd rope or a skein OF silk.
II you were 20 take a Ratchet and
cut half through a great rope the
strands OF the other half would re-
main intact. If you were TO file half
way through a telephone cable, the
telephone service TO the subscribers
supplied by the wire strands OF the
other half would be undisturbed.

It is like this In the eye. II there
is a disease severe enough 20 in
volve all the fIbres Of the optic
nerve or the parts back Of it in the
brain. there will be total blindness.
If only a part OF the optic nerve Is
involved. there Will be blindness in
that part OF the eye supplied by the
affected hbres
Now. as 10 the permancy os the
blindness:
II all depends on the effect OF the
disease upon the nerve flbres. II
any given fibre is so impinged upon
as TO cut off its nourishment and
nerve function, and II the pressure
Is continued until that particular
fibre is bleached out and dead, It is
rendered permanently useless. 1t u
just as dead and useless az one OF
your fingers would be II you twisted
a wire about its base, cutting off all
circulation and nerve supply and
left the hand in place till the tissue
died.
Just what effect this process Will
have upon the useful vision Of the
victim depends on the number OF
hbres invc'ved. II part Of them,
say half. or even more OF them are
involved, useful vision might still be
preserved. II all the flbres Of the
optic nerve are involved in a sim.
lar manner. the eye is totally and
permanently blind.
The death Of fibre is called at
rophy" OF the fibre. When a lot Of
the fbres are involved. not enough
10 produce loss Of vision. certainly
not loss of sight in all parts of tho
field Of vision, the condition is called
partial atrophy" When all the
hbres are thus affected it is "totai
atrophy," and for this there is no
more hope of cure than there is 10
grow a new finger II one is cut off.
Fortunately, there are compare
lively few cases of total atropny;
and the causes are under such con-
troll when taken early that the ter
rible effects can be averted.

curious stiffness prevailed even by
the elements, for even the boisterous
October winds paused in their aerial
sport and paid tribute 70 the heroic
dead.
Rev. Titus spoke Of the original
76 Mishawaka volunteers who
marched away May j 0. 1917. "Of the
original 76." he said. there are six
who are eternally sleeping beneath
the ground. OF these / have buried
three. Six more are disabled. No
tribute OF mine can do justice 10
this boy or 10 any Of our heroic
dead"
Rev. Titus declared that the spirit
Of 20, OF 1912, '61 and rs still lived
in the soul OF America. we err
in thinking these men are dead, -
said Rev. Titus. Their spirit still
lives and out of their supreme sac
rifice they cry aloud for an Amer
icanism pure and indebted, loyalty
personified, for an allegiance 10 the

CENTENNIAL DATE
Masons to Meet In Tallahassee on Hun
dredth Anniversary OF Treaty
Signing.
(5y Associated Press,

TALLAHASSEE, Feb. 17.(Special)-
Tallahassee is on tiptoe awaiting the
corning OF the shriners on Saturday. The
ceremonial held here IN October, 1919,
is so recent az to fcrcibly apprise Tai
lahasseeans OF ne gaicyy and brilliance
which may be expected OF the coming
event and enthusiasm is accordingly
rampant.
It is interesting to note that the cere-
monial will be held on the centennial
anniversary of the ratification by the
United States of the Florida purchase
treaty, and the ceremonial will be in
the nature OF a celebration of that fam
Gus historical event. 1t was on the 10th
day OF February, 1921, one hundred
years ago. that the United States finally
ratified the Treaty of Amity, Settle
nent and Limits Between the United
States OF America and SPAIN" whereby
Florida became part of these United
States. receiving her fun admission into
statehood on March 3, 1S45, thereafter.
So far as is known, this win be the
only public celebration of the event.
The committees having in charge the
local end of the ceremonial are busily
at work and promise that when the
great day dawns the stage will be all
set for one of the greatest occasions in
r y
expected that the train bringing the
mobiles and their ladies from Jacksonville
viii reach Tallahassee during the early
morning hours, and a delegation of To-
cal Shriners adequately furnished with
automobiles win assemble at the sta
ton ut 1880 for the purpose of bringing
up the party. The candidates will as
semble at the Leon hotel, the head
quarters. at 8 o'clock and from that
moment Tallahassee will belong to the
Shriners. Wise heads among local and
visiting Shriners predict that although
there may be no formal proclamation to
that effect, Saturday will be observed in
this city as a general holiday, and, as
on the former occasion, business will be
practically suspended and all office and
departmental activities will cease.
Already, in anticipation of the event.
local merchants are decorating their
places of business with the Shrine COL
ors and there is every indication that all
Tallahassee will enter with zest into
the festivities incident to the occasion.
Local hotels report that reservations are
being generally made and that the
usual magnificent delegation of Shriners
and ladies from South and Southwest
Georgia will be present to assist their
Florida brethren in making the event a
glowing success.

Journal composing room force gave a
brief dissertation on the works in the
composing room and DOC" Cook, day
operator, set a few lines with all the
fancy flourishes of an experienced
Merganthaler man for the benefit of
the Braves.
From the composing room to the
stereotyping department was just one
floor down and the Braves made the
descent without misgivings. In the
press room, George Johnson, foreman.
showed the Braves the third and
fourth steps in the mechanical con-
struction of a newspaper by making
a mat and casting a page for them.
Next on the program was the stunt
of putting the page on the press and
then after a brief description of the
workings the press was started UP and
behold the Braves began to read the
story OF the meeting.
f. w. Marsh spoke briefly of the
life and works of Col. Frank l.. Mayes,
founder of The Journal. T. L. Cant
also paid a tribute to Col. Mayes'
memory.
Mrs. Mayes then spoke briefly and
urged the Kiwanians to work for a
playground at Lee square and for a
driveway from Gregory street to Bay
view along the shore.
The program was arranged by
Lucky Baldwin, managing editor of
The Journal. member of the enter
tainment committee for the day.

gress Who Oppose Com
munity Centers.

WASHINGTON. Feb members
of congress, who she said mad opposed
appropriations for local community
centers on the ground that they We're
breeding unrest were warmly taken
to task by Miss Margaret Wilson
daughter of the president. in an adj
dress at today's session Of the Ma
tional Womans party convention here
Declaring there was no evidence To
support the charge, Miss Wilson as
serted that. even granting there was
such evidence, 1t was mot the bust
ness OF congress to supervise the ac-
tivities OF speech Of those they rep
resent" but the business of the
courts to try the individuals who have
broken the law"
Adding there also had been express
sions of opposition in congress to the
use of schools by community center
organizations for dancing, Miss VIII
son asked:
Granting that we have moral
right to use the school buildings, is
1t any of their business what we do
with them, whether we listen TO So
cialist speeches or whether we
dancer"
Speaking as a representative of the
national community center organiza-
ton, Miss Wilson declared more could
be accomplished toward true self
government and necessary social re-
form by the organization Of local
groups into cooperative, thinking
bodies than through the workings OF
party organizations. On this ground
she advised immediate disarmament OF
the national woman's party which she
1aid, was not in a broad sense mon
partisan" but exclusive" and or
ganized for the purpose Of building
UP a woman's machine" which would
not be .'more honest or effective than
a mans machine"
Prior to Miss Wilson'S address,
however. the executive committee of
the national woman's party had
placed before the convention a rec
ommendation that the organization be
continued though reorganized under
another name and with a new pro-
gram and a new executive board. 1t
will be acted upon by the convention
tomorrow.
