THE preservation Of your own
i eyesight depends upon the
avoidance Of many factors that
cause blindness in adults.
have space In this article
briefly to cali your attention to
only few OF these danger signals.
Thus, a serious factor in the
production of blindness after mid
die life is disease known as glau-
coma. This is dueto an increase
OF pressure inside the eyeball. It
accounts for 80 per cent Of the
cases In homes for the aged blind.
II the disease Is recognized early
and treated on the right lines it
can nearly always be cured, but
II a wrong diagnosis is made at
first and 1t is mistaken for another
eye disease, it is apt to end disas-
trously.
Glaucoma often begins with
cloud before the eyes, feelings OF
discomfort, and neuralgia head
aches. This may 90 on for months
or years.
When an acute attack Of glau-
coma begins, there is intense pain
over the eye and face, so serious
sometimes that it may lead to
vomiting, and the condition may
even be mistaken for a bad bilious
attack. In few hours the sight
is seriously impaired and there is
some swelling and congestion of
the lids and eyeball. When this
occurs, the eve should be sub.
mitted at once to an opthalmic
surgeon, as it demands immediate
and energetic treatment and care
full watching.
The chronic form may come on
very insiduously and be very diff
ficult to diagnose. The general
! rule Of having the eyes examined
every three or four years during
youth and middle age by an op-
thalmic surgeon would prevnt any

COLORS ARE
POPULAR

FASHION this year dictates
= colors which should make the
summer look like a poster. The
extraordinary brightness OF the
approved hues is strikingly evil
denced by the cover design of
the May issue of the Woman's
Home Companion, where the
artist has used nothing but the
shades prepared for him by the
dictators of the new fashions.
Faced with the trite subject Of a
liner steaming out of the harbor,
ne has so handled perspective,
skyline and even the ripples on
the water as to catch and delight
the eye Of those who devote most
of their time to fashions foibles.
Every color in his picture is
straight off the color card of new
shades favored in the garment
styles. Cool blues and greens,
shimmeripg grays, softened reds
and misty pinks are skillfulIy
combined to make the liner a
real and moving thing, and the
background Of skyscrapers, faith
ful and inspiring. And those
very hues are the ones which the
American lady will be wearing
soon in frock and hat and coat.

door locked, we're a million miles
from civilization. There are two
feet of solid concrete between us
and the rest Of the world"
A deep. tremulous silence fell
for moment between Jacqueline
and the powerful Lupino, whose
dark eyes had begun to glow with
slow, devouring fire. The room
was perfectly still and, significant
ly. no sounds came from the other
part Of the sinister prison that
held them walled in behind it's
concrete barriers. Red Suggs and
his gang had gone, finally, and
Jacquelne knew that they had
closed the massive steel door
which was the only means of
escape behind them.
Eyes, Jacqueline, we've left
civilization behind" Lupino said,
his voice vibrating. I'VE might
be the last two people left alive

His great fingers were toying
with a metal paper knife on the
top OF the flat desk. Just for a
fleeing second, Jacqueline looked
at the sharp point Of the instru-
ment which, undoubtedly, had

Eyes are so closely linked to-
gether that one is very likely to
get diseased or inflamed, and all
serious wounds, of one eye
should be carefully watched by
an opthalmic surgeon for this
reason. Cataract, as Is well
known, is liable to affect the
eyes Of elderly people. Cataract
is an opacity in the glass-like
lens in the eyeball. 1t is usually
heralded by the appearance Of
black specks In front of the eye.
These remain stationary, unlike
the jumping black specks of other
eye diseases. Sometimes the eye
sees several images of each OBJ
ject, particularly in the evening,
when bright lights are about.
AS the opacity extends and in.
creases the vision becomes less
acute and may be better in
dun light when the pupil is d.
lated.
The rate OF development of the
cataract varies greatly and is
usually more rapid in the very
old. When the process is COM
plete the patient is practically
blind, and then his relief comes.
The lens then can be completely
removed by very simple opera
ton. Its loss is compensated for
by placing a suitable lens in front
Of the eye.
Those whose blindness is due to
cataract can always hope ulti-
mately that their sight viii be re-.
stored, but their trouble lies in
the necessity for a long wait I'm
til the cataract "ripens," as it
cannot be operated upon safely
before its time.
An opthalmic surgeon may give
relief during this period by fitting
suitable glasses and administering
drops and by presenting proper
arrangement of light.

A BILE connection with Jacqueline.
Julius Lupino poured himself a
drink of liquor and sat slipping
1t at full strength. He knew she
did not drink, and consequently
did not indulge in the empty for
mality Of inviting her to join
him.
Conversation died down between
them. Jacqueline, as she sat and
watched Lupino in his silent abb
sorption with his drink, was ac-
tually conspicuous of the sinister
power for evil that resided in his
powerful frame, that gave in
tangible menace to the vital, mag
netic force Of his personality.
Earlier she had attained some
thing resembling control of her
nerves, but now she was still
trembling from his outspoken adj
mission a few minutes before
that he had wanted her from
their first meeting and
what he wanted he took, IL pos
6ible!
And she was, she realized, alone
with him. and in his power!
From the floor below there still
came the sounds Of Red Suggs'
gangsters moving out the stored
liquor, but this would soon cease.

or exit to the pIace-would be

returned. II didn't make the

''The rules are never off," she
retorted desperately. "Other
people don't make the rules: they
spring up in the heart, they're
permanent-there's something you
know deep inside you, and you
can't sweep them aside!"
