NEW lens formula which will
prevent near-sightedness has been
developed by DR.. Martin Heber-
field of New York. DR.. Heberfeld
will not patent his discovery, but
will make it available for all. The
new lens is not a cure for nearsight-
edness, or myopia, but prevents
eyestrain which causes this afflic-
ton to grow progressively worse
and compels sufferers to seek
stronger glasses from year to year
as their eyesight fails.
Myopia, or near-sightedness, is
the most common eye trouble of
children. There are approximately
100000 persons in the United
States suffering from this defect
today, and around $4,000 are ad-
ded to the number each year. Pre-
serving the vision of our young
people is therefore a tremendous
ly important service.
In his years of experiment, devel-
oping the new lens, DR.. Haberfeld
formulated a set of recommends
tons for the conservation of eye
sight, as follows:
Hold reading matter slightly be-
low eye level and as far from eye.
as possible.
Have light coming over left
shoulder if right-handed, and owe,
right If left-handed.
Don't have light too strong OF
too dim.
Don't read lying on back or or
stomach.
Don't read in shaking vehicles.
If you use your eyes all day
don't read at night.
Look up into the distance every
fifteen minutes when reading.
Always after reading do thu
rainbow" exercises with the eyes
right up, left, and reverse.
The rainbow exercises referred te
in the last recommendation consis,
of making the eyes describe an arc
like a rainbow, casting them bacl
and forth through the upper semi.
circle, each time bringing them a.
high and as far to the right and left
as possible.

SHOULD THE SCHOOLS
STUDY CONNUNISN?

State Assemblyman John p. Phillips
of Banning made a courageous state
ment the other day when he openly ad-
vocated the inclusion of Communism in
the studies of students. Not that Phil
lips is alone in such an advocacy. On
the contrary most of us realize that
America is founded upon high level
of general education and freedom of
speech and study.
Phillips courage lay in the fact that
most politicians have kept out of the
popular discussion for fear of losing
votes. The public can quickly and easily
shout red or pink and thus unfairly
brand broad-thinking man as we'll as
ruin political career.
1t is probable that most of the people
opposing the study of communism mis-
interpret the phrase used by press and
magazine teach communism in Schools
They take it to mean that teachers are
to advocate communism or convert chill
dren to a belief in communism, where
as this is not the issue. If it We're, no
one would favor it.
The issue is whether the communistic
form of government is to be studied
along with other forms of government
by students taking political-economy, or
governmental, OF social science courses,
or by students who have become inter-
ested in the subject and, therefore, are in
danger of being converted by a missin-
formed or misleading outsider.
Students of history delve into ancient
and medieval and modern and current
history of this and other nations. Law
students do not only consider the law of
this country but at least the skeleton
plans of other countries. A study of
medicine includes European contribu-
tions and technique as well as American,
and a study of religion includes Cathol-
icism, the major sects of Professionalism,
and the more important of the 600 or
700 forms of worship throughout the
world.
By the same token we see no reason
why Communism should not be investi-
gated by students of government and
compared with our system and he Par
liamentary system and all the rest of
any Importance.
The best way to fight against SUBJ
versive movement is with knowledge.
UNDERSTANDING, publicity, and a broad
comprehension of the weakness and de-
fects of Communism or Fascism auto
matically comprise a bulwark against
acceptance in this country. Nations pro-
gress through wisdom and freedom, not
through ignorance and repression.

If the plan is successful, this firm
