MIR. Hanauer showed that originally
the Missouri Pacific. the old Denver

Pacific had been the chief links in
the transcontinental system which
the late George J. Gould had been
irving to weld together before he
was ousted from control Of the Mis-

had been forced into receivership and
Kuhn, Loeb & Co. had acted as re-

The Missouri Pacific in 1921, Mr..
Hanauer testified. would have pre-
ferred to see the Denver and Rio
Grande an independent road, but the
Western Pacific refused to come in
on any such plan and insisted upon
an equal balance Of power. AS re-
suit, he said. the stock and director
ship of the reorganized Denver and

DETROIT, September 14-That
bad eyesight has less to do with auto
mobile smash.ups than is commonly
supposed is the opinion of DR.. Harold
ID. Judd of this city, who has made
a study of one hundred serious auto
mobile accidents in Detroit recently.
The investiga ton was made in CO.
operation with the city police depart
ment. and showed that there is all
too little cooperation between heads
and feet Of drivers.
After carefully studying the cases
considered il is quite obvious that the
poor vision that causes accidents in
Detroit is frequently above the eyes,
DR.. Judd reported. "A man with only
so per cent visual efficiency and a
100 per cent mentality would make
more careful driver than the man
with perfect eyes and half mentality.
Observation has also shown that the
man with the perfect eyes and full
intelligence is liable to be more care
less than the man who knows his
eyesight is bad, but who Is mentally
normal"
Ingenious Tests Devised.
In OrQer 10 HHU out JUST AoW HuCH
vision did have to do with the one
hundred bad accidents studied, DR..
Judd devised an ingenious method of
testing both the eyes and the mental
acuteness of the drivers at the same
time. The subject was seated before
a screen, and instructed to tell what
he saw and what action he would take
as soon as he was sure of what he
saw.
A lantern slide with the word
stop" was illuminated and projected
onto the screen. The image was too
small to be seen at first, but was grad
ually increased in size until the sub
ject responded. The quicknes of the
response was the measure of his men.

itching ears, picks the fight out of the

The resolution declared that the
meeting "pronounces this thing Il
most degrading spectacle and regrets
beyond words to express that our city
authorities thus should allow and en-
courage our city's fair name and repu-
tation to fall to such low depths as to
call forth the just criticism Of the
world at large
The Presbyterian resolution scored
the fight as brutal smuggling match"
Members of the church were urged not
to attend.
Dempsey and Tunney were declared
to be contestants out for blood by
Rev. o. T. Stewart, secretary of the

tai alertness as well as of the sharp
ness of his eyesight.
The use of the slide was based on
the theory. DR.. Judd said, that objects
are really recognized by their form
long before they reach the size at
which they are actually distinguished.
Color Test Also Made.
A color test was also made. Red,
orange. green and blue, all of which
are colors used on automatic sema-
phores for directing the traffic in De-
troit, were thrown in turn on the
screen and the subject had to state
what he would do if he saw the color,
stop or proceed. The tests were made
with great care and when the men,
tally of the subject was known to
be below normal, that was taken into
consideration.
Out of the one hundred cases stud
led. there were only five which DR..
Judd found were unquestionably due
to poor eyesight. There were also
two doubtful cases which may have
fallen into that class. In all of the
hundred cases studied the accident
was serious and in SO of them death
or injury had resulted.
