WHAT CAUSES BLIND
NESS?

TIME United States census report
i for 1922 shows that there are 81
567 blind persons in this country. In
35,78S of these, definite information
was obtained as to the cause of their
blindness.
In 1888 cases, or SO per cent.
blindness was caused by some disease
of the eye itself, such as cataract In
1923 casea, or 10 per cent, blindness
was the result Of some general dis
ease. The principal diseases which
may cause blindness are measles scar
let fever, diabetes, meningitis. intiu-
enza, Bright's disease, typhoid fever.
and smallpox. Accidents were respon-
sible for 1913, or 10 per cent. Atrophy
of the optic nerve, mysterious condi-
ton in which the nerve of the eye
shrivels up and becomes useless,
caused 1855 cases, or per cent.
Ophthalmia neonatorum, or sore eyes
of newborn babies. caused 1913 cases,
or 8 per cent. This disease is grad
ually disappearing owing to the pas
sage In most states Of laws requir-
ing the use of a weak silver nitrate
solution in the eyes Immediately after
birth Trachoma or graduated lids,
as II is sometimes called. caused about
the same number of cases as ophthal-
mia neonatorum. Poisoning by wood
alcohol and other poisons was respon-
sible for a. considerable number of
cases.
Since the causes of blindness are so
numerous, the prevention of blindness
necessarily covers wide variety Of
subjects. Blindness following con-
tagious diseases can only be prevented
by preventing the diseases which
cause 1t, but accidents can be very
largely prevented by proper precau-
tions. The National Safety council,
by a widespread educational campaign
In factories and workshops during the
past ten years. has greatly reduced
the number OF accidents to the eyes.
Shields for drilling, filing and grinding
machines, the use Of goggles In all
work in which the eyes might be in
jured. and the use of protective screens
for blast furnaces. welding apparatus
and other operations requiring strong
tight and high degrees Of heat have
greatly reduced the number Of eye ac-
cidents,
Don't take any chances with your
eyes. You can't get along without
them either in enjoying your life or In
earning your living.

Modern Transportation
Demands Wider Highways

Modern transportation demands
speeds as swift as will conform with
the rules of safety. With millions Of
trucks and passenger automobiles in
use, all capable of rapid travelling, 1t
is only natural that the users of these
vehicles and those benefited by their
use should desire that motor vehicle
traffic be as swift as possible.
More paved roads-and wider ones
alone can make swift, efficient mo-
tor vehicle traffic and give at the same
time the necessary assurance of safety
Evidence that highway department
officials have recognized this fact Is to
be found all over the country; new
pavements on highways are being laid
several feet wider than was the Gus
tom only two or three years gao. And
what is just as significant is the fact
that in many places old pavements
which are no longer wide enough to
bear the constantly increasing auto
mobile traffic are being widened with
the addition Of strips of concrete be-
side the old pavement.
These developments in highway
building emphasize that wider roads
are absolutely imperative in these
days when automobiles are being built
faster than pavements are being laid
to carry them.

ROAD
DING
WIDER HIGHWAYS
TO BE STANDARD

/
A $50, 100000 road program for this
year-$2O, 100000 for new construc-
fion and Sl2,5O0,OOO for reconstruc-
sion-favored by the New York state
bureau of highways is based on a
policy of making virtually all new
| highways of the so-called dual width.
having two outside strips Of nine-foot
each. Such construction enables three
cars to pass with ease. and more than
double the capacity Of road as COM
pared with the ordinary 1S-foot road
way.
How much of the program 1t will
be possible to put through depends on
the money to be made available. The
program contemplates paving 3S7
miles of new highway and old dirt
roads and reconstruction of S01 miles.
On some of the reconstruction jobs
sheet asphalt will be used for the
covering. which proves cheaper and
satisfactory type of reconstruction on
roads of this kind.
Nothing less than 18foot roads will
be built. The day Of the 16-foot state
road In New York is passed.
The program of 3S7 miles of new
construction probably will Increase to
400 before the engineers of the depart
ment complete their plans.
OF the $20,OOO.OOO for new roads, the
state would pay $13,000,OO0. The fed
eral allotment would amount to 3d.
100000 and the counties share to 49,
100000. The $3,6OO,OO0 allotted to the
state under the federal aid system al
ready is available. All the state has
to do TO take advantage of the appr0-
priation is to make the necessary APP
preparations and comply with the regu-
lations of the federal government.
The state pays the entire cost of
reconstruction work, unless the COM
munities wish to share. Where a COM
munity shares in reconstruction of a
highway its share amounts to 30 per
cent
Up to last year not more than three
counties shared In the cost Of such
work in any one year. Last year the
number rose to 49,
New York city will have unusual
interest in the major project OF the
highway bureau for 1925. This Is re-
construction Of parts of the New York
Albany Post road that require the
work. Much of this road is in ex-
cellent condition, but much Of it still Is
in very poor shape.
The dual type pavement will be
used as far as possible. This will put
a 27-foot highway in place of 16-foot
| road in many stretches.

Difference Apparent in
Various Makes of Autos

Whoever started the story that one
car Is as good as another and that
there isn't much difference in the basic
ideas of automobile design ought to
get the prize for making the worst
guess. Get behind the wheel Of half
dozen cars and the results will sur
prise you. In some respects some cars
are altogether different from others,
and you'll be amazed to see what a
mistake you've made in supposing that
when John Jones shifted gears he was
handling the same sort of clutch and
transmission as you are accustomed to.
There are lot of sales points, to be
sure. But it win pay you to investi-
gate, even il it merely serves to con-
vince you that the automobile Is going
right ahead getting better every day.

GASOLINE TAXES
AND FEES SMALL
Receipts Are Largely De-
voted to Road Consruc-
ton and Maintenance.

The average license fee per mile Of
motorists in this country is one-fifth of
a cent, and the gasoline taxes paid
amounts to one twenty-fifth of cent,
or an average for both of one-Quarter
of cent per mile, according to the
bureau of public roads of the United
States Department of Agriculture
That is what the fees paid in a year
amount to when divided by 5000, which
is believed to be the average motor
lists annual mileage.
Devoted to Roads.
The motorist or truck operator is as
sured of good return from the taxes
he pays, since the receipts are very
largely devoted to road construction
and maintenance. In 1928, 81 per cent
OF the motor vehicle license revenues
and 80 per cent of the gasoline taxes
were turned over to the state highway
departments for expenditure under
their supervision, and a considerable
portion of the remainder was expended
by the counties for road purposes.
Various Rates.
Consideration of the gasoline tax is
of special Interest to the motor vehicle
operator. Thirty-fiye states now have
this form of tax, the rates ranging from
to cents, with the exception of one
state, which has Accent tax. A l.
cent gasoline tax Increases the cost of
operating the average vehicle by less
than tenth of cent per mile. On a
trip from Washington to Philadelphia
the tax would amount to 10 cents. The
trip over the Lincoln Highway from
New York to San Francisco would be
taxed $3.50. It Is interesting to COM
pare these rates with the toll charges
which motorists formerly had to pay
on toll roads. On six different turn
pixies in Virginia and Maryland tolls
amounting to $5.05 were charged for a
total Of 1877 miles, which is equivalent
to 2.7 cents mile. If state attempt
ed to charge this same rate for the use
of the public highways by automobiles,
1t would have to establish gasoline
tax of 80 cents per gallon

Suggestions to Follow
When Accidents Occur

Everybody with a grain of sense
seems to know what to do in the case
of fire, but there are still no fixed
rules for behavior when cars or pedes-
TRANS collide, and many are OF the
opinion that lives could be saved
through more definite procedure fol-
lowing the accident. Several of the
major suggestions selected from vari-
Gus sources are as follows:
Never argue over the matter of re-
sponsibilIty for the accident when
there are more important things to be
considered. In the calm light of after
thought any accident or collision looks
different to the participants.
Be familiar with the location of To-
cal hospitals and their emergency en-
trance.
First move your car over to the
curb, where it will be out of the way.
II there are other cars passing ask
some one to take you and the injured
one to the hospital.
In such predicament you are in
no condition to drive You might cas-
lily have a second collision on the way.
Cooperate to the fullest extent It
is strong point in your favor.
Be sure to report the matter to the
police Immediately upon looking after
the victim.
Act don't talk
The police will get names Of eye
witnesses. The driver who gives too
much. attention to getting witnesses
In his favor IS suspected Of trying 70
frame an alibi to cover his careless
uess.

CAUSES OF MENTAL
BREAKDOWN

1
| eTSHANKS to numerous newspaper
4 and magazine articles. health talks,
and instruction in the public schools
it is now more generally recognized
than ever beforeFthat the human body
is a machine which must be wisely
treated and well taken care of Il It Is
to do good work. But the mind is
still regarded by most people as some
thing strangely mysterious and beyond
understanding.
In the romantic novels which our
grandmothers read. the heroine was
always supposed to have "brain fever"
whatever that was. after the shock OF
desertion of her lover, abandonment
by her husband, or whatever other
trials the author subjected her to-.
The idea still prevails that mental
conditions are due largely. If not en-
tirely, TO love, grief, separation or 9TH
er purely emotional states.
AS a matter of fact. the workings OF
the brain are. Influenced by the same
condition. as those affecting other
structures Of the body. Poisoning,
either from within or without the
body, and insufficient or improper
nourishment are responsible for most
cases of mental breakdown, just as
they are responsible for most serious
affections of the heart. the kidneys or
the stomach.
careful study of 210 patients in a
hospital for mental cases showed that
80, or 16 per cent, of the cases were
due to direct infections Of the brain,
causing some form of meningitis.
These infections came through the
mouth, the nose, or the ear, and were
preceded, of course. by Infection OF
some part of the body. In tn per
cent. the mental disorders were due to
infections in more distant structures,
such as the teeth, the tonsils, the gall
bladder, or the appendix. In these
cases, the infection was carried to the
brain not directly but by the blood
current. Ten per- cent OF the cases
were due to the use of alcohol or some
other drug. Twenty-six per cent were
due to some defect in the constitutions
al makeup, that is. to some de1cien-
cy at birth of the brain or some other
part of. the body. Five per cent were
due to old age, softening of the brain,
etc. : 81 per cent to gland deficiency,
such as defects of the thyroid gland
in cretins; 10 per cent to defective
food, prolonged physical work, either
in the hot sunshine or under abnormal
heat conditions. to childbirth. and
similar conditions. Only Is cases. or
about Z per cent, were due to mental
shocks, unbearable situations. exces-
sive emotions. or great sorrow.
The normal human being is so con-
stituted. mentally and physically, that
he does not give way under mental
strain or natural emotion. We all Of
us have our trials. II we were not
able to stand them. most of the hui
man race would be insane.
