than the one with tile poor eyeslght.
Dr. Harold u. Judd OF Detroit has
recently made a study Of 100 serious
automobile casualties In co.operatlon
with the Detroit police department
and has come to the conclusion that
poor minds, rather than poor eyes,
are the cause OF most Of the accidents.
"A man with only so per cent visual
efficiency and 100 per cent mentality"
Doctor Judd Is quoted as saying.
