Color Blindness Dangerous Because Of
Tendency To Confuse Signals

mails on the railroads and on street
corners are most frequently red,
green and yellow, and occasionally
blue, the colors most frequently
concerned in color blindness.
Certainly, no one who is color
bzlind should attempt to drive a
motor car In modern traffic.
The difficulty of distinguishing
between red and gren is the most
common form Of color blindness
The blue-yellow difIiculty is much
rarer.
Persons who have color blindness
Sc objects as lighter or darker, but
are unable to distinguish shades
Sometimes they distinguish between
red and green light on roadwAys by
their difference In brightness.
There Is no specific cure for color
blindness, since the defect Is one
Of structure of the eye. However, az
has already been mentioned, there
are various ways In which the color
vision may be developed or substi-
tutions found.
The most commo ntest involves
sorting a number of colored wor-
steds. The person being tested al
given certain pieces and asked te
match them with others. There are
other tests in which colored strips
Of paper are employed.

ROBUSTNESS AND
PNEUMONIA

Muscular development, strength
or Drawn was formerly regarded as
the picture of health, even by ply
sicians, and so today many laymen
still believe the development Of
muscle Is the way to health. The
truth Is, that unless one requires
extraordinary muscular develop
ment for q special purpose, large
muscles are a handicap, a constant
drain on energy, and render one
rather less agile and less efficient.
So far as susceptibility to pneu-
monia Is concerned, robust individ-
uals are as likely to contract the
disease as are ordinary or muscu-
larry weak individuals.
Young adults who are UNDER
weight, and adults Of mature age
lover thirty-five) who are over
weight seem both more susceptible
to pneumonia and less capable OF
winning mad less capable Of winning
the battle when they have pneu-
monia. The underweight Of younger
adults and the overweight Of older
adults are both metabolic or nutri-
tional disorders and are so recog-
nized in determining life expecta-
ton.

GI0ruing
Yourself
By Alicia Hart

1T would be a good idea for
women to take the art Of applying
perfume q little more seriously" q
well known actress insists. II never
fully appreciated the grooming
value Of scents until an expert tipped
me on on their use.
Nov, when begin to dress for
an evening party, place the per-
tume am going to use within
easy reach. From time to time I
dab 1t on arms, shoulders, knees,
wrists and throat. BY the time
am finished dressing, there Is SUBJ
tie aura Of perfume all about me
not just one strong Whit coming
from somewhere In the vicinity Of
my ears.
ALSO, though I've been warned
against putting perfume anywhere
except on my skin, and wouldn't
think of sp-aying 1t on a dress, do
like 1t on my furs. Last year, when
/ got my fur coat out of storage, I
poured about two drains Of my ia
Vorite scent on the collar, sleeves
and back. The odor fingered all win
ter and sc ! to get nicer as the
months went on"
This star, when completely made
up, touches her lips, then each fin
gertip, with the perfume dropper as
the final touches in her grooming.
One famous perfumer now sells
two o. his .odors in novelty bottles
that look like champagne glasses. A
new brand comes in diminutive wine
jugs. Still another Is put up in a
glittering, gold-painted container
with extra long, crystal stopper. For
aton.izer- fans, there are new round,
squatty types with small bulbs.
Use Of an atomizer Is matter Of
personal taste. Some women like to
spray their bodies from head to foot
before they dress. Most, however,
prefer to dab perfume on with fin
ger or glass stopper.
When you begin to use your
Christmas perfume, remember the
advice of the actress: use 1t behind
your ears If you like, but don't for
get . put drop on your back and
shoulders and a small amount on
wrists, arms, chest, lips and finger
tips.

Paris Styles

time.
Costumes noted there recently
include q black wool dress, fasten-

quarter length coat Of chamoia

stitched at an angle on the coat,

Another woman was wearing
a hand-knit wool suit Of royal blue

worn by Tyrolean peasants.

Merriment is half Of Christmas any
way, or all Of 1t.
Children love color. Christmas
needs color. Get all the color you
can for your dollar. Surprising
that fun and color do. But, II you
have more to spend, you can spread
your values. Worth Is always TO be
considered.
Make trips to the stores when
they are not damned. Early morn
ing Is fine. You will do them and
yourself q favor. Decide what TO
look for. Don't moon and guess. 1t
will wear you out. Remember, you
are to be well on Christmas. And
happier than ct any other time OF
the year.
Get the children to work on their
own little gifts. Let each Of them
make part Of them. And give each
child you can spare to do his own
shopping. Never mind what he gets.
It Is Christmas. Have each one
choose q less fortunate child for Q
gift. Let him wrap it and carry 1t
over.
Secrets Add TO Excitement Of Holiday
Have secrets. But don't let the
fry get so excited they can't sleep
or eat. Go ahead and tell them
there Is a Santa Claus. You will do
1t anyway. It never hurt anybody.

which was conventional then (forty

chilling or come on after an ordi-
nary catarrh Of one or two days
duration. Cold Is now regarded
simply as factor In lowering the
resistance of the bronchial and pull

Osler included In the chapter on
pneuE. onia foreshadows new light
on the subject: "The frequent oc-
currence of an initial chill has been
one reason for the widespread be-
lief that cold Is factor Of nneu-
mania" Osler also remarked that
pneumonia prevails equally In hot
and cold countries, Is rather more
prevalent in the southern than in
the northern states and is more fire.
quetlt In March han in January the
coolest month Of the year.
From the brief paragraph on pre-
vention Of pneumonia 1t Is evident
that Osler accepted the belief that
the victim is attacked by pneumo-
cocci which are constantly present
in the nose or throat secretions,
lying in wait, as 1t were, for the VIC
tim to get his feet wet or change
his shirt! No one entertains this
theory today, although 1t still serves
the nostrum mongers and charla-
tans in good stead. Never knowl-
edge Of immunity dispels the morbid
notion that many or most persons
carry germs which may presently
destroy their own hosts. That SIM
ply doesn't happen.
Actually it appears that individ-
ual susceptibility to or immunity
from pneumonia cannot be gagged
by such familiar factors as muscu-
lar strength, athletic training and
hardening from habitual exposure
to cold. The question depends rath-
err on individual physical fitness,
which is determined chiefly by nu-
tritional condition and to a certain
degree by muscular or athletic train
ing.
