Women who are getting on in years should be par
ticularly careful with their eyes. Being OF a more
highly strung temperament, they are more subject
than are men to certain types Of q serious eye disease
called glaucoma.
The chief symptom OF glaucoma Is a sudden In
crease Of the tension or pressure Of the eye due to
accumulation Of fluid. 1t Is most common in per-
sons over so, although occasional cases have been
reported In people 20 or 80 years old.
The recurring. c~ongestive types Of glaucoma affect
women more than men. but In the chronic form Of
the disease the sexes are affected about equally.
Excitement often Is a factor in producing an at
tack, because during excitement the blood vessels In
the eye dilate. For this reason, those suffering from
glaucoma are told to lead quiet lives and to limit use
Of their eyes as much as possible.
Once this condition has begun In an eve. It tends
to progress so that the cases in which the symptom
develops occasionally and disappears gradually pass
over into the chronic type Of case.
Glaucoma once was considered an incurable con-
dition. Nowadays It is established that early treat
ment may be helpful In overcoming the disease, or
at least In preventing its progress. Also there have
been developed surgical operations involving a re-
lease Of the tension which brings about saving Of
the sight.
In the gradually progressive form Of g~laucoma,
with the tension in the eye steadily increasing and
with failure OF drugs which contract the pupil to be
Of any service. operations are advised for relief Of
the tension. In the simple types of glaucoma, with
the tension increased only slightly, it Is possible 70
have relief for years by use OF drugs which contract
the pupil.
1t is. however. highly desirable for persons with
this milder form OF the disease to be examined regu-
larry 50 that the first sign Of any narrowing Of their
visual fields may be determined and operation done
before 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 as a result Of the operative procedure.

INTERPRETATION
 OF WILL SOUGHT
 BY TRUSTEE BANK
Insufficient Funds to Cre- ate Home for Poor as
 Will Directed

Interpretation of the will of George Panneton, late of Water- bury, is asked by the Citizens X Manufacturers National Bank, trustee under the will, in peti- tion filed in superior court today. The principal question the court is asked to settle, Is a provision in the will calling for the con- struction of home for the worthy and aged poor of Water bury. The petitioner states that there are inadequate funds for such purpose left in the estate.
 Eight respondents, named in the petition, are asked to appear and state his or her claim as to the construction of the will. They in- clude Edmund E. Guilbert. George D. Guilbert, August F. Gullbert and Charles s. Guilbert, all of Waterbury; Eva R. Panneton of Three Rivers, Quebec, Canada, widow and executrix of the esttac of Ephrem F. Panneton; Joseph Panneton of Three Rivers; Celina Panneton of Montreal. and Attor- ney General Edward J. Daly.
 The late George Panneron died Nov. "A, 1920, leaving all of the above mentioned, excepting Att torney General Daly, as the next of kin. In his will, Panneton named the Merchants Trust Co. as administrator of his estate. The will provided for 10 legacies and after these were paid, directed that the residue be set up in a trust fund for the Little Sisters of the Poor of New Haven.
 Paragraph 15 of the will, con- cerning which the petition IS mostly directed, states that the in- come from the trust funG Is to be used for the Little Sisters of the Poor in establishing a home m Waterbury for the worthy, aged poor, in memory of Pannetons wife, Eunice A. Panneton.

Germany Is Playing Deep, Quiet Game
Germany's Support to Be Sought, But Probably Will GO to Highest Bidder
By FREDERICK DESIGNER United Press Stan Correspondent Copyright 1885 by Unitcds Press

SOpyF1Sut 1OOO ny OnllcUe EFcSS Berlin, Oct. 5--(UP)-Germany Is playing deep and quiet game of both ends against the middle for mighty stakes.
 If the time comes when Germany must choose side in the African war which threatens to engulf Europe, Germany Is prepared to sell to the highest bidder. The reich government believes the law of sup ply and demand will make the price of her support high. Many a foreign office will be bidding for aid, tho Nazis thnik, if events move in tho indicated path.
 Germany has become the politi- cal sphinx of the world since bor- der patrols of italy and Ethiopia fired their famous shots at Ualual. The cunning of the strategy is ap- parent only after careful study of European developments all the way back to 1918, when the kaiser lost an empire.
 Even the policy of the United States, seemingly unconnected with the situation, Is a factor.
 In conceivable circumstances the reich might with profit support either side in a possible war in Europe. There are powerful politi- cal reasons for upholding the hand of Italy; there are at least equal values in alliance with Great Brit ain. Tabloidized, some of the weights in the scales are:
 l. The Fascism of Italy and the Nazism of Germany. are psycholog- ically closely related. A collapse of Fascism would have terrific reper- cussions in Germany.
 2. Germany sympathized with Italy's program of colonial expan- sion. The Reich has not forgotten her own lost empire.
 3. Germany wants intensely to maintain the grasp on British friendship acquired in the recent naval pact. The Nazis hate and dread the Soviet Union, fear France is swinging left, and want to disrupt the tradition of Franco British cooperation.
 The ambitions of disarmed Hun many and Austria to military inde- pendence, the desire of Germany and Austria for an economic un- ion, and the subtle qualifications of Balkan politics play minor but important parts in the situation.
 Rumors persist in diplomatic circles that Premier Julius Goem- boes of Hungary, who only recent ly conferred in Berlin with Adolph
