Perhaps the most noteworthy
performance occurred on the Gin

Franklin Field as the four stall

teachers colleges. Not only did the
Hampton collegians sprint their way
to victory, but in turning back the
challenge OF their opponents. set
a new carnival record OF 3:21.4.

ton and irbalance of the muscles of
the eye.
Retroactive errors are popularity
supposed to be the most important.
But the connection is not necessarily
certain in all cases. An OFFICIALLY
perfect eye is almost unknown. And
retroactive errors are so common
that it would be practically impossi-
BILE to find a person with eyestrain
who did not have a slight retroactive
error. There also are people with
gross retroactive errors who have no
eyestrain. So they cannot be the
sole cause or even the most .impor-
tant cause, although, of course, in
a case Of eyestrain any retroactive
error should be corrected.
The same applies to certain ey.
tent to accommodation errors. Small
ones are rare and cause little or &c
trouble; large ones are usually due
to systemic trouble.
Advice of Oculist
I am inclined to take the advice
(although | admit my experience
does not warrant my forming a very
definite opinion) of those oculists
who believe that muscular imbalance
or heterophoria (the dynamic rela
of the two eyes working to-
gether) is the most potent cause OF
eyestrain. The movements of each
eye are so arranged as to keep it
coordinated with the movements Of
it's fellow in such way as to keep
each visual axis always pointing al
the observed object. The power of
conveyance, which is the most i'm
portant of these coordinated move
ments, is in the region of so per cent
in normal people, and may be as !oM
as 20 per cent in cases of eyestrain

in questioning, the Secretary made
the assertion that "this town now Is
swarming with sugar lobbyists.
II don't know what their purpose
is. but some day 1t will be revealed
and shown up to our constituencies.
II think it Is only due the Amer

is swarming with lobbyists who are
hanging on our flanks to attack the

Consideration Shown.
The Secretary said he thought the
State Department had shown every
consideration" for domestic sugar
interests and at one point referred to
a $35OOO0,0 900 rake-o1" which he
said domestic producers received "a
few years ago."
Senator Ellender, Democrat, of

they are members of learned pro-

Government counsel, however
