NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-Last sum-
mer, while standing near a wire
fence In the midst of a thunderstorm,
a 14-year -oId boy was stunned by
lightning. A common enough occur
renee, you may think, but there was
something most uncommon about
this one. The boy had always had
very poor vision--was nearly blind,
in fact--but when he recovered con-
sciousness after the lightning bolt
and looked about for his glasses, he
found that he did not need them. He
could see perfectly!
This case gives support to the new
ophthalmology, which declares that
the eye is a perfect instrument and
that if we only learn to use 1t per-
fectly we can all throw away our
glasses. Myopia, hypermetropia and
astigmatism are all defects caused
by eyestrain, it says, and not by dis
eased or imperfect visual organs.
They are therefore durable by proper
methods of relaxation whereas the
old ophthalmology held that they
were ineurable, being caused by i'm
perfect apparatus, defective from
birth.
According to DR.. William II. Bates,
the father of the new ophthalmology,
who has examined and treated the
eyes of hundreds of thousands OF
patients at his clinic at the Harlem
hospital here in New York, seeing is
a passive performance, and with
perfect vision there is not the least
effort. 1t is only when we strain to
see at a distance that we become
myopic or near sighted, and when
we strain to see at close quarters
that we become hypermetropic or
far sighted. If we would only relax
the eyes and not put forth such tre-
mendous effort, we would find our
vision greatly improved.
But how to relax the eyes? DIR.
Bates prescribes remembering
black" as one of the most efficacious
methods. Close your eyes. put the
palms of your hands across them,
being careful to exert no pressure on
the eyeballs, and remember black.
Think of the blackest thing you
know-a mans silk hat, a totally
black cat or a black velour curtain.
This sounds easy, but as a matter of
fact it is quite the opposite. Few
people can imagine perfectly without
mental strain; if they could they
would not nave OeLeClLNe NlSlOl' VI
one Of the strange discoveries Of the
new ophthalmology is that il you can
remember perfectly, or imagine per-
fectly, you can see perfectly.
Remember Black
Some people must practice for a
long time before they can remember
black without at the same time
thinking of other colors, and it Is al
most impossible to hold the image of
any one black object in the mind for
more than a couple OF seconds. it
is therefore best not to dwell upon
one object but to skip from one black
article TO another-shoes, coat, UNI
brella, muffler, cat, curtain. etc.
When you can remember black per-

DUNN AND pUMMER ON THE
BILL TO BAR RACING NEWS

"What're you doing now?" asked
Senator DUNN, as he came upon
Representative Dummer sitting in a
snowhank and struggling with the
sporting section of a newspaper.
I'm trying to read racing re-
port" returned Dummer. "Looi1it this

Senator DUNN leaned over his
shoulder and saw the following:

Brilliant indeed the work that you did;
Then that splendidest proof of ability

So though sneered in your earliest period"
Now I far, far from wise;
You were an artist who clowned for the myriad,
Dodging with genius thousands Of pies
Master of pantomime, comic in attitude.
How all watch your adventures unfurled
Conscious you great debt Of gratitude
You start the laugh that is heard round the world
So though the bulk of the movies may weary
(Duler than anything else the earth),
Always there's you who drive us denfious,
Making us drown troubles in mirth.
