under the lid. The disease develops
slowly in the membrane lining Of
the eyelid. The surface is uneven
and readily bleeds. The blood yes
sells Of the lining membrane arc more
| or less obscured.
The appearance Of the blood ves-
sells is considered very important, as
| this indicates the degree Of thicken-
| ing, a very essential feature in ira
choma. The lining membrane may
appear velvcty or even raspberry
| like in appearance or it may present
gray, translucent, roundish granules.
1t not nfrequently happens that
the constant irritation OF the eye
ball from this granulation produces
ulcers. These ulcers interfere with
and impair the vision. Blindness
often results from trachoma. Ira
choma lasts for years, with constant
irritation and discomfort to the pa
tient; impairs his earning capacity
and ruins the life and happiness of
entire families.
The control of trachoma depends
primarily upon the observance OF
such rules Of hygiene as the avoid
ance Of towel, and similar articles
used in comm on and insuring cleanli-
ness Of the hands Of those coming
in contact with the disease.
If children suffer from trachoma.
they should be removed from schoo
and should not be allowed to attend
school unless they receive adequate
and constant treatment. Acute cases
Of trachoma should be isolated. Such
things as common towels Common
drinking glasscs) and common wash
cloths deserve to be banished from
every civilized country:
The task Of controlling and pre-
venting the spread Of trachoma
forms part of the work carried on
by the Division Of Domestic Quaran-
tine Of the United States Public
Health Service. In this field the
Public Health Service has been &C
tive for some time past. During
the year just closed. for example, six
hospitals for the treatment Of ira
CHI oma were in operation.

Many states have active in

ulations. However, before our
presen: regulations were adopted
and effort made to enforce
them, trachoma gained foothold IN
some of our more remote commun-
ties and has remained prevalent for
wears. The disease is very common
among American Indians.
We do not know what specific or
ganism causes trachoma. but that
some organism is responsible for It's
spread cannot be doubted. for the
disease spreads slowly through a
family or through a group of per-
sons who are thrown closely together
1t would appear that all persons
OF all ages are susceptible TO tfa-
choma. We know also something
about the ways in which trachoma is
transmitted. The discharges from
eyes infected with trachoma are con

can be transferred on the fingers

At The Movies
ELTINGE THEATRE

The widely heraIdcd' and long cx-
pected western special, "Thc Pony
Express" with brilliant cast of sew.
eral thousand players headed by
Betty Compson, Ricardo Cortez, Err
nest Terrence and Wallace Berry, will
make it's local debut at the Eltingc
Thursday and remain for the rest of
the week.
Like its distinguished predecessor,
'The Pony Express" is a powerful
story combining historical fact with
the element of romance that charac-
terized the West Of pioneer days
But although it's climax is as tremen-
dous, and its ending as emotional
and beautiful as that Of "The Cover
ed Wagon, it's love theme is more
cinating, and its dramatic episodes
more colorful.
The action of the plot is laid in
1860, in the dark days just before
the Civil War, and deals with the
struggle between North and South to
gain control of California with its
prestige and enormous resources OF
gold. In this bitter political contest
with its plotting and intrigue, gun.
fighting and bloodshed, the crack
riders of the Pony Express played
a significant and important part.
Besides the heroic achievements OF
the Pony Express, the production viv.
idly and automatically depicts the
violent yet picturesque life of the
primitive West. Of the many his
t6rical characters who are portrayed
PARTICULAR interest attaches to the
youthful Mark Twain, the STRIPPING
Buffalo Bill and the famous Mormon
leader, Brigham. Young.

RICHMOND, April 1O.-Son1e
Of the Yankee ball club had to

The brakes failed at the top
of the hill and the bus started
backward down the steep in
cline. It gained momentum as
it rolled and the occupants saw
it was a case of jump or broken
necks. They dove through the
windows to safety. The bus
rolled down to the bottom of the
hill and crashed into tree.
