Referendum Proposed.
Coincidentally, Col. Arthur w. Little
of New York, who was cited for brav-
cry in France, proposed plan for a
national referendum prior to any dec
laration of war. This would involve
the automatic enlistment of those vot-
ing for the war. 1t also would con-
script half the fortunes of those voting
for war, but who were unfit for service.

barge law expires February 29
Chairman Nye of the Senate NUM-
tions Committee said at the time of the
National Peace Conference proposal
that he had no objection to it, but that
the President alone should not have
the authority to determine which bel
ligerents should be subject to embargo.
Munitions and Foreign Relations
Committee members have a dozen
different ideas on what the new neu-
trality bill should contain. Leaders,
however, have expressed the belief a
satisfactory compromise could be
worked out acceptable to the admins
tration.
Vandenberg took the position that
any effort to give the President dis
cretion in naming an aggressor and
determining a program in concert
with other neutrals would have all
the infirmities inherent in League of
Nations membership with its mani
fest European political implications. "
II am opposed to any such collec-
tivism," he said, because the nam
ing of an aggressor is tantamount to
an act of war. and no such power
should reside in any President.
1T should reside in Congress and
the President jointly. I am opposed
because it is the exact opposite to
the mandatory neutrality which we
are now undertaking to protect on our
own responsibility and in our own
right"

Your Health

XTOMEN who are getting in years should be
w particularly careful with Sheir eyes Being Of
more highly strung temperament, they are more
subject than to certain types Of a serious
eye disease called glaucoma.
The chief symptom of glaucoma is a sudden
increase of the tension or pressure of the eye caused
by accumulation Of fluid. 1t is most common in
persons past so, although occasional cases have been
reported in persons 20 or 80 years old
The recurring. congestive types of glaucoma affect
women more than men, but in the chronic form Of
the disease the affected aoout equally
Z EXCITEMENT often is factor in producing
L. attack, because during excitement the blood ves-
sells in the eyes dilate this reason those slf-
ferng from gaucoma told to lead quiet lives
and to limit use of their eyes as much possible
Once this condition has begun in eye, it tends
to progress that the cases in which the symptom
develops occasionally and disappears gradually pass
into the chronic type of case
Glaucoma once was considered an incurabe con-
diton. Nowadays it is established that early treat
ment may be helpful IN overcoming the disease,
at least in preventing its progress Also there have
been developed surgical operations involving a
lease of the tension which brings about saving OF
the sight.
TN the gradually progressive form of glaucoma with
the tension in the eye steadily increasing and with
failure of drugs which contract the pupil TO be Of
any service operations advised for relief Of the
tension.
In the simple types of glaucoma with the tension
increased only slightly it is possible to have relief for
years by use Of drugs which contract the pupil.
1t is, however highly desirable for persons with
this rilder form Of the disease be examined regu
ary so that the first sign Of any narrowing Of their
visual fields may be determined and operation done
before the vision is lost.
Surgery should not be postponed too long in such
cases. because the more the eye has been damaged
before the surgical operation the less is the chance
for relief result of the operative procedure.
