 Taken to Hospital
 Kaminski was driven to the hos pital by his companions, who also notified police. A broadcast was sent throughout the state but 8 description of the bandit car was lacking.
 Deputy Sheriff Peter Kaminski, of Beacon Falls, slain in hold-up at Milford this morning, was we'll known to Waterbury sheriffs and lawyers. He served as attendant at the county jail and several times brought prisoners to this city.
 He was fellow-member of the New Haven County Sheriffs' association with the local deputy sheriffs, and attended all the functions of the organization.
 Deputy Sheriff Frank Brickel, friend of the slain deputy said: Its hard to believe that Peter is gone, and I only hope that they find the man who shot him. It was terrible crime, and all the sheriffs in Waterbury feel extremely sorry for his family"
 He is survived by his wife, Ann HVDn-Un0 H-nI daughter; and three sisters, Mrs. Annie Penikas of Union City, Mrs. Annie Kevit of Beacon Falls; and Miss Jennie Kaminski of New York,

ditions has defective vision? Hon
estly, now, don't you believe that the
other fellow should have his eyes
examined before he is given a per-
NIT to drive?
There is no question in my mind
but that the time is not far off
when every State will have a law
compelling automobile drivers to take
a periodic visual effect.
Of all factors contributing to auto
mobile accidents, faulty vision is
the easiest determined and corrected,
and, therefore, should be determined
and corrected. Judgment of distance
is binocular function and that, of
course, adds Importance to the neces-
sity for maximum vision in both
eyes.
In these days of traffic signals
involving the use of colored lights,
the possession of unimpaired color
perception becomes a matter of much
interest.
For years, transportation COM
panies have included color vision
tests as a part of their routine
examination. Since about eight per-
cent of men suffer some impairment
in their judgment of colors, the pos
sible relationship of such impair
ment to the causation of accidents is
worthy of serious consideration.
! Judgment of distance is a mat
ter rather easily determined and OBJ

of plotting a swiftly moving auto
mobile where a split second judgment
may spell the difference between SAT-
ETY. and sorrow.
/ Impaired vision and muscular i'm
balances have a decided influence
upon this faculty. Every modern
/ office for sight testing is equipped
/ for muscle determinations, as also
| for Orthopedic training designed to
reduce imbalance to a minimum.
/ Visual field measurement is a rela-
lively new procedure, but one that
commends itself to the good judg-
ment of anyone with even a rudimen-
tary knowledge of the function of the
peripheral retina. Reading, and
other occupations requiring keen dis

of a very small central area of the
retina containing less than one per
cent of the whole. This small part
is acutely sensitive. The surround
ing 80 per cent loses in sensitivity
} the farther removed it is from the

scarcely less important than that OF

We have seen and heard all sorts
Of statements regarding the relation
ship between vision and automobile
accidents. Most of them were mere
guesses unsupported by any reliable
data, or, perhaps statements made
with Interior motives.
Two important factors in the
causation of accidents are, doubtless,
carelessness and what the psychol-
ogists refer to as slow reaction
time" Consideration viii not be given
here as to the possible relationship
between vision and carelessness.
When we come to reaction time"
we enter a domain in which a very
definite relationship has been estab-
hshed between Light, Sight and
Safety. Speed-of-vision is a rela-
lively new term, but it is based upon
some of the most careful scientific
tests. So far, the tests have beer
largely confined to recognition of test
objects, and it has been shown that

There are really five aspects to the
