D Forty years ago, the medical
profession that practiced exam
ining eyes used atropin and
thoroughly paralyzed eye mus
cles to relax the cramps they
knew to be present.
We later have learned that an
instrument called ophthalmo-
meter gives the same informa-
ton without the permanent in
jury caused by atropin.
If the ophthalmometer shows
the average cornea to be four
/ diopters fiat, then that young
1 eye is near four diopters far
sight, just as truly as if shown
! by atropin.
The light used in the different
) instrument tests, not only let US
) see the things we wish to exam
) inc, but stimulates the tired,
} numb, cramped eye so it will
} more easily respond to dynamics
and ductions.
Why, a young person that
measures four diopters far-sight
by the ophthalmometer is usual
ly given only a half diopter
! llense. or maybe. near sight,
because the patients muscles
! are cramped until she sees bet

A childs eyes made fully nor

an honest practice would lessen

Recalls Date
Of Big Quake

Some of the older people here re-
called today as the anniversary Of
the disastrous Charleston, S. c.,
earthquake Of August 81, 1886,
making this the 53rd anniversary
Of the event.
For the past several years at
tention has been called to the an
niversary by George A. Lowry, one
of Henderson's we'll known citizens.
Mr. Lowry, a small boy at the time
OF the quake, remembers the Incl
dent vividly. He was living in Hen
derson at the time, and the quake
was distinctly felt here.
Scenes and experiences of those
living then are still fresh in Mr.
Lowry's memory, despite the fact
that he was scarcely more than a
child Hundreds lost their lives in
Charleston, which was the center
Of the tremor.

Here at Home.
Here at home, I know that foreign
diplomats have boosted propaganda
I know, because at least one OF
them has offered me inducements to
propaganda for his people-Chem
Ting Wang, until recently Chinese
ambassador in Washington. He knew
I'd lived in China, and sympathized
with the Chinese against the Japs.
English, Germans, French and
Italians? You can't tell how much
they have enfiltered.
It's up to that Dies committee to
determine.
I favor United States internation-
al publicity when Pm conducting it.
l don't like foreign propaganda.
That's the Dies committees pro-
blem.
Which is which?
Publicity versus propaganda?
Of course publicity is a foregone
conclusion in any free country. But
propaganda? If there's a difference,
what is it?
That's for the Dies committee to
determine

ed off with no bulk of popular en-
thusiasm back of it. It didn't often
make front pages.
This war scare has been some
thing else again. There's nothing alb
stract about it. There's a distinction
between the mere preaching OF
totalitarianism by a few individuals
and vigorous propaganda by around
a dozen Of nations to involve Uncle
Sam in an Out-and-Out conflict.
There's a widespread consensus that
that was how we were hooked into
the last dreadful struggle, and there's
opposition to a fresh dose of it. The
Dies committees job is to demon
strate that the effort is in its in
cipiency and the probabilities are
that the committee can do it.
With Some Authority.
: 1 can speak with some authority
on this subject, for handled Uncle

American River Plate republics dur
ing the period of the last World War,
with my headquarters in Buenos
Argentina.

agent were doing it here I'd call it
by the less innocuous term Of 'pro-
paganda." 1 was a patriotic Yankee
at my "publicity' game in the Ar
gentine. I'd consider any European
or Asiatic, doing the same thing there
asa first-class nuisance, to put it
mildly. My office stirred up quite
bit of trouble in Argentina, too. 1t
provoked a couple of anti-German
riots in Buenos Aires and got the
German ambassador in Buenos Aires
marooned on an island in the Rio de
la Plata. We never got Argentina to
abandon neutrality Il always thought
the Argentine government was right
about it), but we caused plenty of
trouble.
So foreign propagandist is an in
fernal pest in a neutral land, but

from.
