Forty years ago. the medical
) profession that practiced exam
, ming 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
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

; why, young person that
measures four diopters far-sight
by the ophthalmometer is usual
ly given only a half diopter
lense, or maybe a near sight,
because the patients muscles
are cramped until she sees bet
ter with them, is beyond my un-
derstanding.

RUMANIA:
Dangerous Step?

France and Britain were certain
Rumania's King Carol had capitulat-
ed to Germany when he signed an
economic pact with the Reich last
spring. But a few days later Carol
went home and promptly executed
all the Nazi plotters he could find.
When war was declared he reiterat-
ed his neutrality, only to run against
combined pressure from Germany
and Russia. The former, seeking
wheat and oil, demanded new trade
concessions. The latter looked COW
etously at Bessarabia, which Ruma-
MIA got from Russia after the World
war. Meanwhile Rumania tried des-
perately to form a solid neutral Bal
kan bloc.
Late in November King Carol
again asserted his independence,
but not without showing partially.
Rather than capitulate to Germa-
ny's demands for more raw mate
rial, his cabinet resigned. In a
pinch, the king turned to strongly
pro-ally politician, George Tatares-
Gu, whose coalition cabinet was de-
signed to keep peace within Ruma-
mia. Nevertheless, Rumania's Bal
kan neighbors viewed the step un-
easily. Not without reason, Italian
politicians feared Carol had upset
plans for a neutral bloc by casting
his lot too definitely with the allies.
