GLARING HEADLIGHTS
RUINOUS TO EYESIGHT

Glaring headlights have a decided
ly serious effect on the eyes, ac-
cording to the Delaware Automobile
Association, which sought an ex-
preston on the subject from the
wOrld-famOus Wills Eye Hospital in
Philadelphia. DR.. l. S. Tassman,
head of the refraction department,
was appointed by the hospital au-
thOrities to cooperate with the AS
sociation in its efforts to bring about
safer driving, and he has covered
the subject of eye strain as seen by
specialist.
I'm confronting very brilliant il
Elimination" said Doctor Tassman,
there takes place in the eye first a
simultaneous contraction or narrow
ing of the pupil. When very eXces-
siye or oft repeated in the presence
of intense light, this may result in
ocular fatigue, pain or even an in
fiammatory condition of the eye
more or less constant, because of the
strain on the delicate self adjusting
mechanism from being called on to
function in the presence of severe
contrasts to which it must adapt it
self.
"The sudden flood of brilliant light
also causes a marked disturbance in
the very sensitive Retina or inner
coat of the eye where the image is
cast. The light being here diffused
in excessive amount, produces a SEN
sation of dazzling. This dazzling is
abnormal and indicates disturb
ance of the visual substances. Sud
den withdrawal from the light again
produces a sharp contrast, which is
followed by a brief
blind period familiar to all. A blind
area occurs in the vision, the dura-
ton of which depends on the period
of exposure and the intensity of the
light, and it represents an area in
the retina of the eye which has been
rendered undersensitive. The result
Is practically the same as that which
occurs in the eye after looking st an
eclipse of the sun without smoked
In severe cases It may lead
% what is known as Retinitis
which is characterized by permanent
changes in the inner or
usual lining of the eye and will be
accompanied by a corresponding
mount of visual impairment" "a

VENTILATION IMPORTANT

With the cold weather of fall and
winter comes a decided increase in
colds and other respiratory diseases.
According to the U. S. Public Health
Service this is due to several fac
tors. First comes our manner of
living in winter. We live principal
ly indoors and are brought in more
intimate contact with one another,
thus allowing for the spread of in
fections. Secondly, outside weather
conditions with the resultant expos
ure to cold and dampness are
thought to play a definite part in
causing these diseases. And last,
but not least, is the poor ventilation
which so frequently takes place in
the home, factory and Office. 1t has

Risky Business

Stock gambling games are doubtless
grand for men who think they under
stand the divers gins and snares; the
men of nerve who do not fear to stake
the income of year, the dauntless
bulls and bears. We read of triumphs
they achieve, as through the stock ex-
change they weave, of fortunes they
pull down: we read and think of how
we slave a modest little wad to save,
We read and sigh and frown. If others
can acquire big rolls, like knocking fruit
with ten-foot poles, why can't we do
the same? Why put in brine measly
dime, why save nickel at time, why
not get in the game? There comes a
time to every man when he'd adopt
the shortcut plan for raking rubles in /;
DER methods slow he seethes and frets,
he's in hurry, he forgets the pitfall
and the gin. He's labored like q
brindled steer through many darl5
and dismal year. to gain his little pile;
he used to think it wise and fine to put
the kopecks down in brine, he viewed
them with a smile. But all at once he
feels the urge to make killing and
Splurge, to get rich in a day; he
ventures out at last to buy some stock
that's sailing wide and high, and throws
his coin away. We see him coming from
the mart weary wight with broken
heart, who utterS vain lamentS; ne
looks at us with haggard eyes, and asks
us where the poorhouse lies, and bor-
rows fifteen cents. When once the urge
to speculate attacks the honest, toll
worn skate, he faces perils bleak, unless
he has the nerve to say, I'll stick to
my old-fashioned way, and save ten
cents week" WALT MASON.

Parent of Swedish Meteorologist Firmly Convinced
After Interview With Capt Zappi That the Ital-

Stockholm, Sweden, July 80 R)-
The mother of DR.. Finn Malmgren,
believes that he met death as re-
ported to her by Captain Filippo

safety while he remained dying in

in-law translating the conversation
was carried on between the rescued
Italian and the mother of the Swed-
ish scientist in English.
Strength Failing
"Dr. Malmgren was not in good
form when he set oH and soon re-
marked that his strength was going
to fail him. One day. / believe it
was the twelfth of June. the doctor
asked me, as the only service ]
would do him. to dig trench in the
snow and take the compass which
was a presentation for his work witt,
the Amundsen expedition of 1922
1923"
At this point the captain handed
the compass TO Nine. Malmgren,
saying:
You know him: all we could dc
was to obey: he was like that"
Nine. Malmgren was later quoted
by her son-in-law as saying:
THE object of Capt. Zappi's cal
has been attained. I feel perfectly
calm. l believe absolutely that Capt
Zappi Is telling me the truth"
Capt. Zappi also said:

God. DR.. Malmgren kept no notes
at least after the disaster"
Here Nine. Malmgren interrupted
Capt. Zappi's story with the excla-
nation:
Il dnderstand-it was not his
habit"
Capt. Zappi, speaking of state
ments made by the Russian aviator
Chukhnovsky. who discovered Zappi
and Mariana on the ice. that a third
figure was nearby. told Nine. Malm-
gren that what the flyer saw must
have been pair of leather breeches
which had been thrown away.
Is Satisfied
The son-in-law. like Nine. Malm-
gren. said he was fully satisfied
with the captains story. He said he
knew the doctors strength of char
acter and was convinced that his
last moments were as Zappi related
He added:
Capt Zappi Is perfect gentle

Zappi was accompanied on his call
by the Italian consul general After
the interview he rejoined the other
survivors of the Italia. They were
travelling today toward Rome on the
