time, nearly two months in advance
of the customary date for the show

SAVE YOUR EYES
BY DIR. J. Fred Andreae. Sec.
Md. State Board Optometry.
CORRECT POSTURE

CORRECI POSTURE
The time at which children should
be permitted to begin sustained close
use of the eyes has very decided
Influence upon the strength and USE
fulness of the'eyes in later life. 1t is
not at all uncommon for the eyes,
during early life, to become weaken
ed by prolonged reading according
to DIR. j. Fred Andreae, Secretary of
the Maryland Board of Examiners in
Optometry.
It is important that a correct pos
ture be maintained while reading.
The work or book should never be
held closer than fourteen to sixteen
inches from the eyes and care should
be exercised that the head does not
incline too far forward, for excess
sive bending of the neck will impede
the return flow of the blood from
the head and eyes.
If the child persists in holding his
textbook too close to the eyes it
may be the result of several causes.
Possibly the seat or desk which he
is using may not be of the correct
height or maybe he has defect of
the eyes which should be corrected
by proper spectacles.
There are few schools in which
the desks are correctly adapted to
the varying sizes of children. All
should be constructed so that the
desk is not too near the eyes nor so
far away that irksome STOPPING is
necessary in order to place the eyes
at the proper distance from their
work.
Attention must be given to the
light in which the eyes are used and
there is no other point about which
neglect is more common. The use
of the eyes by twilight or faulty arti-
ficial light is especially harmful to
the eyes of children.

WITHOUT A COUNTRY
By Lucy Meacham Thurston

AS years 60 by after the World
War and as the great international
questions of it's aftermath attain
some degree of settlement, lesser
questions will more and more
emerge. These will bear upon them
the tragedy and heatbreak resulting
from the fearful disasters of warfare.
The story of the lost children will
be one. The story of the roaming
Russian children will be another.
The story of the men without a
country will be a third. On these
many a historical account and many
a novel, realistic as well as romantic,
will be. developed within the next
two decades. Such theses afford TO-
nance, adventure, tragedy, with the
awful background of the greatest
war the world has known-may it
never known another.
For this last theme, the man with
out country, some heartrending de-
tails have just been received. They
were written by a member of the
American Friends Service Committee
who for number of years has been
doing relief work in Vienna. Her
work has brought her into contact
with many tragedies. She presents
some of these and from those pre-
scented a few of the shorter tragic
cases are here quoted.
II can make no claim to expect
knowledge on the technical and legal
side of this difficult problem, but
speak as lay person on whose at
tention have been forced the diff
culties, the possibilities, and the SUI
fering of fellow-beings who, usually
through no fault of their own, are
men without a country. In our
Vienna centre case after case has
come to us. For three years the
Quaker group here were occupied
with the care of young man whose
birth certificate was lost by the
British authorities, consequently he
was unable to obtain Austrian citi-
zenship or to obtain regular employ
ment paid. Ultimately in this in
stance the birth certificate was found
and the young mans position lega-
liZed.
"But the large majority of cases
LOT homeless are caused by the
changing Of frontiers and govern
ments after the war and the large
scale; destruction which took place,
destroying records and making it i'm
possible to obtained proof of nation
ality and birthplace by obtaining
copies of birth certificates.
The saddest cases referred to are
those of Hungary and Austria.
Changing boundaries and COVER
ments account for these. GAN of us
who have looked into the problem, +"
continues the account, "are well ac-
quainted with this impossible posi-
ton which is forced upon so many
Staatenlosen and the inhuman treat
ment which is demanded of all the
countries concerned alike by the
present laws. And workers for in
ternational peace hear especially of
cases which are the result of declin-
ing military service; they turn to us,
who are upholding the toward move
ments toward promoting the princi-
Piles embodied in the Hague Court of
Arbitration, the Leage of Nations
and the General Peace Pact"

farewell around the craft One incl
dent moved the crowd-this was when
Capt. Saul, the navigator, who is a
widower, kissed his little S-year-old
daughter and bade farewell, also with
kisses, his f1ancee.
All the party were in high spirits at
the start and they shouted gaily their
instructions to each other. Stannage,
the radio operator, entering the cabin
of the plane, excited laughter when he
leaned from the cabin window and
called above the roar of the motor for
one last drink. He was handed q
bucket Of water, from which he took q
long draught.
Capt. Saul Joined him in the cabin
and the door was sealed with a strip of
sticking plaster. Capt. Kingsford-
Smith and Van Dyk walked around the
machine with Saorstat officers and in a
few minutes themselves climbed into the
cockpit.
AS the machine started down the run
way an ambulance joined it from the
side and raced with 1t so that in the
event of an accident prompt aid could
be given the four men.
The take-off was perfect, however, at
the end of 1000 yards. For a minute
the craft few out over the sea and then
passed back over the field and out of
view. Within a few minutes telephone
messages and kilograms began to ar
rive telling of its progress westward over
the Free State.
May Fly Back.
The flyers intention was to make IS
miles an hour during the first 10 hours,
increasing to between 95 and 100 miles
per hour as gasoline consumption was
lessened. Van Dyk, after q three weeks
stay in America, hoped to fly back to
Ireland with Col. Fitzmaurice, possibly
using the Southern Cross again If they
could obtain Capt. Kingsford- Smith S
permission.
