In order to keep the tree green all
the time it is on display. cut a small
piece from the base of the tree so that
a new surface is exposed. Then set

A STRONGER LEAGUE

NEWS that the council of the League of
~ Nations is ready to welcome Soviet Rus
STA as a member Of The league means that this
unwieldy and sometimes rather unreal inter-
national organization is ready to take a step
which should properly have been taken sew
eral years ago.
Whatever the league may or may not
amount to as an international force. it is at
least obvious that it could never realize its full
potentialities so long as it excluded one of the
strongest nations on earth from membership.
With the United States staying out, of its own
desire, and Soviet Russia excluded like a card
sharper from an exclusive bridge club. the
league was doomed from the beginning to be
only partly effective.
Admission Of the Soviet union does not, Of
course. mean that the league will Immediately
become all that its founders hoped. But at
least it will be operating on a sounder basis
than 1t has in the past. Part Of its peculiar
element of unrealty will be gone.

Review. telling Of the romance he had found
in the long fight to keep people from losing
their eyesight.
He told Of the German physician, $50 years
ago. Who first suspected that infection in a
child's eyes at birth could be the cause of
bIinoness, and who vainly tried to persuade his
colleagues Of the truth of his theory. He had
no success.
Physicians kept on explaining to harassed
parents that their children had lost their sight
because Of peculiar atmospheric conditions,
cold crafts. unbalanced conditions in the all
mentary canal. and the lke-and newborn
children kept on being stricken with blindness.
Then DR.. Posey went on to carry the story
down through the years. He told how the
old German doctor was indicated, some eighty
years later, when another German doctor
showed the world how to have the sight Of
thousands Of infants annually by dropping a
2 per cent solution Of silver nitrate into the
eyes Of newborn babies.
He told how other specialists devised equip
ment TO make happier and easier the lives
Of people born with weak or defective eyes;
now special methods Of care and training were
drawn up to fit those who did lose their sight
for useful, norma existence; how hospitals
and clinics were founded to prevent blindness;
how means were found Of preventing many
injuries to the eyes; how a vast mass of knowl-
edge Of disease of the eye was compiled, to
make the task Of saving eyesight progressively
easier
And in all of this DR.. Posey found an abb
sorbing. romantic story-as the rest of us can
do. also. if we get rid of our ~preconceived
notions about what romance really is.
In the age-old struggle to make the hard
lot of human beings a little brighter and hap
