REYNOLDS SCORES
NEGLECT OF STUDY

Neglect of study in cases of ju-

ailments and overstressing of work
in senile cataract were scored by DR..
John o. McReynolds OF Dallas. for

but in juvenile cataract the problem
involves the entire span Of life from
its dawn until the sun goes down
forever" DR.. McReynolds said.
The responsibility" he con-
tinued, "is very much greater with
reference to juvenile cataract than
with reference to seni'e cataract.
If we will examine ophthalmic lit
eratu~ we will find that volumes
have been written on the manage
ment of the senile cataract. with
only q few pages devoted to the
subject OF the congenital cataract"
DR.. McReynolds described the de-
tailed removal Of a cataract and the
necessity OF extreme care, revealing
in his address the great advances
which medical science has made
during recent years in the restora-
ton Of impaired vision.
He Is recognized throughout the
world as an authority on eye. ear,
nose and throat. and Is widely
known as an author on medical sub
jects.

Winnipeg Fire Kills
s; Poor Fire Escape
Hastened Casualties

WINNIPEG, Man., Sept. 3.-The
greatest loss Of life by fire occurred
in Winnipeg this morning when
flames swept through the Midway
, Block, five-story apartment build
ing. Eighht persons were killed and
at least ten injured.
! Had the building been provided
with adequate provisions for fire
escape this number would have been
reduced considerably.
Seven died in the apartment
house, trapped in the upper floor
suites. Hospital treatment was un-
able to effect the recovery of the
eighth.
The wooden interior of the build
ing easily caught the flames which
are believed to have started in the
basement of the building. Portions
Of the roof collapsed.
Trapped in the house, several
jumped in whatever firemen's nets
were available, while the less for
tunate leaped to the pavement in
despair.

"The workers of the entire world

monstrous crime, the attempt to
electrocute these workers on trial in

true nature of the so-called "demo-
