GUARDING EYES FROM
BIRTH
rtxttpHSaSkxtxxtsxssxx xsasxxxx
10. 1926 Western NeMspaper union.l

DROTECTION of the eyes should be-
i gin at birth, according to the re-
port recently submitted to Secretary of
Labor ]. ]. Davis. This report made
by the division of child hygiene of the
children's bureau is based on careful
study of over two thousand children
under the school age at Gary, Ind. On
the strength of this report, the Eye
sight Conservation council states that
the time to begin to preserve sight is
at birth.
Out of the two thousand children ex-
amined over one-third had some
amount of defective sight. In over
per cent, the defect was serious and in
most cases had not even been sus-
pected. Two and one-half per cent had
crossed eyes and only one of these
cross-eyed children had had anything
done to correct this defect. Many of
these children were nearly ready to
enter school and to begin to use their
eyes, although many of them had de-
fects of vision so serious as to make
1t impossible for them to do their
school work satisfactorily.
Leaving out all thought of the child's
comfort, welfare or future it doesn't
seem to be very good business policy
to tax the public for money to build,
equip and maintain schoolhouses, pay
teachers and furnish textbooks and
then send children to school who can't
see.
The Eyesight Conservation council,
then, Is quite right when it concludes
In its report that education is largely
dependent on good eyesight.
Care of the eyes must actually begin
at birth. The eyes of all newborn
babes should have few drops of sill
yer nitrate solution dropped into them
at birth In order to prevent infection
which, II left untreated, may cause
many cases of total blindness. This is
now required by law In many states.
Since the eyes of newborn babies are
not fully developed the baby should
sleep in darkened room for the first
month. When taken outdoors, as 1t
should be often, the baby's eyes should
be protected from the direct rays of
the sun
AS the child grows older, toys,
games, pictures and puzzles should be
large and clear. The child should
not be allowed to strain his eyes with
anything which requires close inspec-
ton or to play or read in dark cor
ners or by fading light On the
other hand, exposure to strong, glar-
ing and unshaded lights should also be
avoided. The child who starts out in
life with poor vision is badly handi-
capped.

Low termination
OF Clover Seed
Prohibits Entry

During the six months ending
June 80, 1926, l3 shipments of Grim
son clover seed, aggregating 2OJO
sacks, were prohibited entry under
the federal seed act, formerly dcsig-
mated as seed importation act. on
account of low termination, accord
my to 4 report Of the United States
department Of agriculture. This
was out Of total of "a shipments,
comprising S034 sacks, offered for
entry. In most cases, this low ger
mination was due to the presence Of
n large proportion Of seeds which
gay" broken sprouts when tested on
absorbent paper in termination
chambers. Crimson clover seeds
which give broken sprouts in cham
brr tests do not produce seedlings
when tested in soil, and are Of no
value for seeding purposes.
Attention is called 10 this condi-
tion with the hope that the seed
trade NAV arrange their contracts
for imported crimson clover seed to
preclude this type of seed being
shipped to the United States. Grim
son clover seed which does not meet
the minimum requirements of the
federal seed act as to termination
is for the most part impossible of
rrrOnditioning and can, therefore, be
disposed Of only by destruction or
export.
