about so seconds for the pupils OF the
eve to adjust themselves to the new
level of light. Meanwhile, he said, the
prospective customer has had time to
walk midway of the store, with the
result that goods in the front were
presented to him under unfavorable
conditions. The desirability of such a
situation, he said, is emphasized by the
fact that merchants consider the front
part of the store most valuable for
creating sales.
At higher levels of illumination, he
said, the factor Of safety" for the
eyes is increased and ocular strain is
correspondingly decreased. The results
Of an individual working all day at q
difficult visual and mechanical task
showed that although the eyes showed
greater strain and fatigue the per-
Torrance of this special work was
greater at the close of the day than
at the beginning. 1t was pointed out
that the result was typical of other ex-
periments, increasing production taking
place with decreasing ability to produce
"a combination detrimental to the
welfare of the worker and resulting in
excessive fatigue and loss Of nervous
energy. The rate of working, he said,
is not an indication of fatigue since the
results often indicate the opposite effect.
