EXPERT SUMS UP
FORMIDABLE LIST
OF Y DEFECTS

Many a driver who sees clearly,
so far as he is aware, and who pays
attention to the road still finds driv-
ing a car hazardous business. Such
a man will be interested In what
DR.. Alvah II. .Lauer, of Iowa State
college. says about the physical short
comings of apparently normal people.
Clarity of vision is merely one Of
the qualities of normal eyesight. A
secondary quality is width Of the
field of vision. Normally, a person
looking straight ahead detects the
presence of a car when 1t pulls up
beside him, but some do not become
aware of 1t until 1t moves ahead. Tx
IRENE sufferers from narrow vision
are said to possess tunnel vision. but
many persons have less than the nor
NAL field of 1856 to 1915 degrees and
do not suspect the fact.
Depth of vision also Is necessary
to safe driving. This means that the
man behind the wheel must not only
be able to see a car In the road
but must be aware of whether IL Is
travelling with him. standing still, or
coming toward him, and approximately
how fast. Depth perception is linked
with another point, eye dominance.
Many people who get headaches
when they are tired do 81 because
they are seeing out of only one eye,
although they do not know it. Two
eyes are needed for three-dlmenslon
sight.
Color blindness is a common and
widely recognized fault. Another
thing needed for safe driving Is
strength In the hands for emergency
use; there must also be the ability
to Judge speed of movement. and the
right amount of awareness to sudden
noise. All these and many other
abilities are part of every persons
makeup in varying degrees. We rec
ognize them by saying a driver Is
aler., or capable, observant, quick,
cool, but seldom think to discover
which particular combinations of
perception and ervo control pro-
duce these desirable qualities. 1t
goes without saying, however, TINT q
driver who recognizes his defcien-
cies can take steps to compensate for
them.-Detroit Free Press.
