Editor, The Citizen:
Please allow me space in your
valuable paper for the publica-
ton of this article, which ex-
presses the attitude of many Key
Westers in regard to their re-
cent, so-called epidemic of ira
choma.
Key West parents were thrown
into a panic last week when their
youngsters came home from
school with unsigned notes, bear
ing the tidings that their children
were the victims of "tracoma," a
very contagious disease of the
eyehds.
Regardless of where the re.
sponsibility may rest for this
scare, the fact remains that those
responsible not only displayed q
pitiful ignorance of the symptoms
of this dreaded disease, but they
were also ignorant of the correct
spelling of this medical term.
Feeling very much concerned
about my child, who. with scores
of others, was excluded from
school," I took her to Miami
where she was examined by DR.
8. L. Written and his associate,
DR.. M. P. DeBoe, eye specialists
of note. The following certificate
was issued and signed by DR.. Whit
ten:
"To Whom 1t May Concern:
"This is to certify that / have
examined Florence Boza for ira
choma and find no evidence OF
this disease. l do, however, find
low grade conjunctivitis fol-
which / am giving her a prescrip-
ton.
(signed)
"B. L. WRITTEN. NJ. D."
Asked if conjunctivitis was Sc
rfous, DR.. Written replied. ode
cidedly not"
Other questions and answers eX-
changed were:
"What is conjunctivitis and
what causes it,"
sit is an irritation Of the con-
juntiva, or mucous membrane OF
the eyelids, caused by a minute
insect"
as it contagious?"
"Not necessarily So"
as it hard to cure?"
sit requires simple but per
sistent treatment"
"Need the treatment be admin
istered by doctor?"
''With the two prescriptions
am giving you, so simple that any
drug store in the world can fill it
you can cure it at home in few
weeks by simply following .direc-
tons"

NEW YORK, February 22-Gene
Venzke, brilliant University Of PENN
sylvania runner, continued his spec
tacular winning streak tonight by
coming from behind in the stretch to
whip Glenn Cunningham by two
yards in the l,500-mete race, feature
Of the national A. A. U. indoor track
and field championships.
Venzke not only took away Cum
ningham's title but wiped out his
world indoor record by breaking the
tape in 3 minutes, 1919 seconds.
A crowd of $4,000 spectators, nearly
filling the Garden, went wild as the
popular Penn flier scored his third
straight triumph Of the indor season
over the holder Of all world records
for the mile.
Pulls Garrison Finish.
FOLLOWING Cunningham's blaz-
ing pace for most of the 10-lap
journey, Venzke not only refused to
crack" at any stage Of the two-man
battle but came on with garrison
finish" in the stretch to outrun the
barrel-chested Kansan in decisive
finish.
Venzke's time eclipsed the world
indoor record of 3:50.5 seconds which
Cunningham set last year. Glenn also
was inside the old record as he was
clicked tonight in 1901.
The world outdoor record, 3:48.s.
was set two years ago at Milwaukee
by Princeton's Bill Bonthron.
There were seven starters, including
Joe (Iron NAM McCluskey of the New
York A. c., 5000 meters steeplechase
champion. in the 1,500-meter run, but
1t was strictly two-man affair after
the first whirl around the Garden
track. Cunningham, as predicted.
blistered the boards with an early pace
calculated to take the sting" out Of
Venzke's finish. Instead 1t proved q
boomerang for the champion.
Cunningham reeled of the first
quarter in 598 seconds and passed the
half-mile mark in the amazing time OF
2:00.7, with Venzke still at his heels
allG showing not the slightest sign OF
distress.
