Your Health How To Keep It. Causes of Illness
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBElN Editor Journal Of the American Medical Association and of Hygci@ the Health Magaztne.

The first man definitely studied and found to be color-blind was John Dalton. To the horror of his Quaker relatives he bought himself some scarlet stockings instead of dark brown.
 The most common form of color blindness is that affecting red and green. These probably appear to the color blind person as a sort of gray.
 A pupil of the British physi- ologist, V. H. Mottram. was red green blind. To him blue was . warm color. since he associated blue which he could see with the blue summer sky. On the other hand red meant absolutely nothing to him but grayness and drabness How We Sec Color
 Color is a'sensation excited in the eye by wave-lengths of light. If sun- light is passed through a triangular piece of glass it breaks up into light waves of different lengths and of dif- ferent colors. These colors thrown on a screen constitute the spectrum, be- ginning with red at one end and running down to violet at the other.
 In most instances color blindness is hereditary but disease affecting the retina, the photographic screen Tt the back of the eye, by which we see. may also produce indifference to colors.
 There also are disturbances af- fecting the nerves which transmit sensation from the retina to the brain, in which the color observed is recorded. Such disturbances ob- viously may interfere with appre. citation of color tests.
 Railroad Tests
 Many times a person may be color blind and not realize it until thrown into some position where apprecia, tion of color is exceedingly import. ant, as for instance. when he work, on a railroad. Physicians who ex anime men for railroad employment have worked out various tests, usinl lights, yarns of different colors, ant colored strips of paper. which thu prospective employe is asked t, assort.
 Imagine if you can how a bril- , liantly painted landscape appear : to q person with color r-blindness : Try to think of spring in tn, ; country when all of the beautiful . things that are green and pink an' crimson and scarlet appear as sor : of varied gray.

 You're getting me all mixed up,' declared ePter Rabbit How can he be four-legged and two-legged at the same time?'
 Well. it's this way" replied Scrapper. His front legs are more like arms When he is on the ground. which isn't very often, he travels on four legs, but he sits up on two legs and stands up that way, too. And when he is in the trees which is where he is most of the time, those front legs are really arms. and his front feet are lik. hands,
