Primitive Mans First
Idea of Architecture

Historians of architecture tell us
that mans first building efforts were
for the purpose of protecting himself
from the weather. He required shell
ter from the angry elements, and
hence "the inclemency Of the seasons
was the mother Of architecture" In
his prlmItiveness he took the nests of
birds and the lairs of beasts as his
model, and the earliest hut was prob
ably a mere arbor Of twigs, after
wards covered with mud. Then huts
were built Of branches of trees and
covered with turf. And there is every
reason to suppose that the men who
built shelters Of this kind were agri-
culturists by occupation. The hunter,
on the other hand, preferred a cave
dwelling, which protected him better
from the attacks Of his fellows or wild
animals, while the shepherds who led
a nomadIc or wandering life, as soms

WASHINGTON FASHIONS ByWima LoVNe

Three or four weeks ago New
York stores brought out dark
satins for immediate wear. They
recommended them for street
because they were neat, busi-
ness-like when made right, and
cooler than many of the sheerer
things you often wear, because
you do not have to put on
more than the essentials be-
meath. But that early, they
missed half the point. Smarter
Washington stores waited a
month to bring them out, for
now they can suggest them as
your first fall costume, as we'll
as for immediate wear. True,
it's too early to talk about fall,
but when you're buying clothes
why not look ahead and get
something that will not only
be smart now but will be good
then, too?
Dots for Dash
If you're going on a vacation,
and need one dark costume,
as most Of us do, what would
look better, what would have
more chic than black satin
dotted with white? It will
make an excellent street suit,
will do for travel, and will
have an advance" look for in
formal afternoon occasions. For
satin is one Of those marvellous
materials that is really formal,
but may take tailored treat
ment and be entirely informal.
Plain black or brown satin is
seen about, too, but polka-dots

lier look for immediate wear.

dresses and suits, but again,
suits seems the more practical.
Sizes for Everyone
We picked out two Of the
smartest suits we've seen for
sketching, one in misses sizes,
and one that comes in both
women's and misses sizes. For
misses is the suit you see on
the right with interesting
sleeve treatment and white
crepe making collar and bow.
The dress has short sleeves be-
meath the coat and both will
come in very well to wear with
other things. The same is true
Of the suit with surplice clos
ing and pleated revers, which
is in women'S sizes as well as
misses. This suit, by the way,
comes in plain black satin, too,
and has as its only trimming
the white gardeniaS you see on
the dotted suit. Each suit is
priced $3.50, and these are
only two of several styles.

Secrets OF
Health
BY LOUIS E. BISCH, NJ. D., Phi. d.
How Cataracts Form

The term cataract is, Of
course, associated with progress.
sive blindness. What really oc-
ours is that the lens of the eye,
or its enveloping capsule, grad.
ually becomes more and more
Opaque. with the result that
rays Of light do not penetrate
we'll and consequently outside
objects are not reflected upon
the retina, or the back Of the
eye. In cataract, the retina is
not diseased, nor is the optic
nerve, by means of which
vision, as such, is recognized
In the brain proper.
The lens is suspended cross.
wise inside the eyeball and di.
rectly behind the pupil, some
times designated "the hole in
the eye." 1t literally floats in
a semifluid substance, the
function of which is to preserve
the shape of the eyeball. In
an adult the diameter Of the
lens is one-fourth of an inch
from front to back and, about
one-third of an inch from side
to side. This refractive body
is really made up of fibres,
which might well be likened to
the layers Of an onion.
In normal health the lens
transmits light freely. When
cataract exists a small portion
of the lens becomes less trans
parent. If the cataract should
exist at the outer rim of the
lens, let us say, vision may not
be seriously interfered with.
Should it, on the other hand,
exist directly in the center Of
the lens and behind the pupil,
then vision is sure to be dimin-
ished.
Strange as it would seem,
when the opacity is in the CEN
ter of the lens the individual
sees best in dim light because,
in such light, the pupil is di-
lated and therefore light rays
manage to get around and past
the central opacity.
It often happens that a degree
Of myopia-that is, near7sight-
edness-is to be found in a de.
Veloping cataract. This IL
caused by the fact that the lens
substance has become denser
and has changed the refractivs
powers of the lens.
When such a condition exists
a patient often thinks that his
eyesight is improving because he
can do without his customary
reading glasses. The phenome-
non is often referred to as "sec-
ond sight" Vision, however, is
not actually improved. A ply
Sical anomaly has only tempo
rarily produced an increasing
magnifying power Of the lens
for near objects.
A cataract may develop, as it
usually does, without there be.
ing any other eye trouble. This
Is the case with old age. A
cataract may result, however,
from some other eye disorder,
such as glaucoma.
CataractS are by no means
confined to old people. Occa-
s1onally a child is born with
such a condition. Under IS
years Of age all cataracts are
soft in consistency and white
IN color; at a later age the
cataract tends to be hard and
Of a yelloWish tint.
Inflammation does not &C.
company cataract formation.
The only suspicious sign is
failing vision. Persons who are
in the habit of visiting the
oculist at regular intervals are,
OF course, told if any opacity
OF the lens exists. The condi.
ton can often be corrected with
proper glasses, at least for Q
time.
When the question Of surgical
removal Of a cataract rises the
patient should, to be sure, con.
suit a medical specialist In this
field.
