The three important Eastern

HOUSE CANVAS.
To BOOST
SMITH
By RAYMOND \. BORsT
international News services

ALBANY, II. r.. Sept. S.. with
election scarcely two months away
Governor smith IS sitting quietly
at his desk at the Capitol these
days, but his campaign for the
Presidency is moving along quietly
and swiftly.
The campaign speeches viii come
later, but the real work r. ALREADY
under way and will continue until
election eve. It is a house to mouse
canvass by Democratic workers in
cities and villages all over the
country in the interest OF the ma
tional ticket.
The Governor never has been
strong believer in campaign
speeches. He feels that a few
stump speeches are necessary ~
every campaign TO keep the party
workers keyed up to a high point
of enthusiasm.
House To House
A. soon as Smith was nominated,
he began laying plans to build up
such an organization of workers
not takers his confidants have re-
yealed. He outlined his plans for
! house to house canvass and they
agreed to CARR out his suggestions.
He told the leaders he felt the
best way to get the voters to the
polls on election day was to get
them interested in the issues OF
fIpnn0h nQPGnnAI
appeal.
Claims by Republican leaders
that the bulk of the women voters
will support his Republican oppo-
nent, Herbert Hoover, have failed
to disturb Smith. He believes his
record as lawmaker and AZ
governor in the interest of legisla..
ton favored by women will be OF
material benefit to him in the com
Ing campaign. He will point out in
his speeches that he battled with the
Republican legislature of New York
State for six years before he was
able to secure the passage of a law
reducing the working week for
women and minors in industry to As
hours.
Organizing Women
Upon the shoulders of Former
Governor Nellie Tayloe Ross, Of
wy oming, has been placed the re-
sponsibiIity of organizing Demo
cratic women in every State. With
the Democratic women conducting
their own campaign in their own
way, Smith is certain he will get
his share of the votes. OF the
women.
In addition to organizing the
women to boost the national ticket,
! the Governor, through National
Chairman John j. Raskob. has laid
| the ground work for the formation
| of business mems clubs lawyers
clubs, Doctors clubs. and every
other kind of club that Gan help
to win the election for the Demo.
cratic party.
In the meantime, the Governor
plans TO clear his desk of all pend.
ing State business and then begin
his own campaign. Within IS
hours he is expected 10 announce
the itinerary for his first trir
through the West. which pfobably
will get underway about q weeb
from Sunday.

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DIR. C.. A. L. Reed

YOUR interest in the eyesight
Il of your own children should
prompt you to take an active and
supporting interest in your state
or local society for the prevention
of blindness in children especially
exposed to the causes of this
calamity.
Beyond instituting the reform
for ophthalmia, the sore eyes of
the newborn, these societies serve,
in cooperation with other social
service bodies, as clearing houses
for educa tional propa ganda and
demonstrative case work in the
care of the eyes.
They investigate official COM
plants from the health and edu.
cation departments. They supple
ment the school medical inspec-
ton, which under the law is not
empowered to do more than deal
with contagious diseases, by carry
ing out a thorough examination
Of the eyes of all pupils for
serious defects and correcting
these defects. In this they have
shown the need for an alteration
in the law in certain States.
In 1920 the Illinois Society,
which had hitherto been confined
to Chicago, attacked the trachoma
t. hG,If in
ern Illinois. This scourge was
binding hundreds of people, young
and old, without any attempt
being made to prevent it. 1t
attacked as many as IL per cent
of some schol populations. 1t
was at it's worst among rural
districts and isolated farms. That
was because when mail order
remedies failed the inhabitants
lost faith in medicine and gave
way to apathy. The disease was
known to occur in families, but
was popularity supposed to be
hereditary and not contagious.
The society gained the co-opera-
ton of the State Departments of
Public Welfare and Public Health,
the colleges of medicine and the
nursing division of the Red Cross.
AS the work succeeded, the local
communities, medical societies and
educational authorities all joined
in. More than 1,164 patients were
examined over a period of SIX
months and passed to the local
eve specialist or general practl-
toner for treatment. That meant
that treatment could be obtained
locally instead of being confined
to a hospital 800 miles away
After year, when voluntary
funds were exhausted, the society
withdrew it's travelling clinics and
very properly pressed forward a
scheme for State and Federal
control.
In the campaign against visual
defects in school children the
Illinois Society has evolved
plan by which the school physl-
clan refers to it all pupils whose
eyes test at 1910 or worse. and
all those with any other indica-
ton of lowered vision or diseases
of the eye. The society then Sc

ton and expert corrective treat
ment. and the examining physi-
clan is asked to recommend the
amount of eye work the pupil can
safely do in school aftef all that
is possible in the way of treat
Raent has been given.
