BLINDNESS cOlOrS
A friend of mine never drives
an automobile alone because he
can't tell the difference between
a red and a green light. He has
what is known as red-green color
blindness, which means that ne
can identify other colors but can't
tell red from green-they both
look gray to him.
It is estimated that about one
person in every 20 has some form
of color blindness. The most COM
mon form is not being able to
identify the color green. Of $500
male college students studied for
color blindness, 113 were green
blind, IS were red-green blind,
one was red blind and seven were
totally color blind.
Perfect eyes, studies have
shown, can see up to 100000
shades of colors. In a big diction-
airy, there are $40 words for var
ious color shades. But to person
who is totally color blind all of
these shades look practically
alike, only varying between
white, gray and black.
CHILDREN school
There are very few of US who
do not have some form of eye
trouble. According to M. J. JUL
ian, president of the Better Wis
ion institute, only about half of
. the school children who should
be wearing glasses are wearing
; them.
Among young children it is
very difficult to tell whether they
have eye trouble, for child
doesn't usually realize that he
can't see what his playmates can
see. Often young children have
/ great difficulty with their school
work and when it is finally dis
covered that the difficulty is eye
trouble rather than brain trou-
BILE, glasses bring about COM
plete change in ability and per-
sonality.
Teddy Roosevelt, who all
through his adult life wore thick
glasses, is a good example of that
The first few years of school were
great struggle to him and not
until his teens did he or his fami-
ly discover the reason. Then one
day he was given gun as pre-
sent and was surprised to flno
that his friends were shooting al
things which he couldn't see. A
little later one of his friends read
the words on a billboard aloud
when Teddy couldn't see the
words at all.
1t was then he told his mother
he thought he had eye trouble
Soon after he was fitted with cor
receive glasses and his whole per-
sonality changed. Instead of be-
ing a shy, awkward boy, he be-
came filled with self-confidence
and a leader of his friends. Pro
! badly we would never have heard
of him, when he became a man
if that eye trouble hadn't been
taken care Of.
ANGER eyes
That expression, I'm so mad
can't see" is based on good sound
| fact, eye specialists tell me.

II was months and months

they seem so happy with the life

Favors Thrift Stamps

However. Mr.. Morgenthau is
against the ballyhoo of the
Liberty Loan campaigns, when
circus methods were used. He
believes that more substantial
incubation of sound financial
habits among the masses was
developed through The sale of
thrift stamps and war savings
certificates by the treasury in
the last war under the direction
OF the late Frank A. Nanderlip,
one-tlme president of the Ma
tlonal City Bank of New York.
Such savings stuck better than
the popular purchases of Liberty
bonds, which the treasury now
feels were sold through high
pressure measures.
Instead of repeating the tech
nique of the Liberty Loan cam
paigns. in which bonds subject
to market fluctuations were sold
TO the uninitiated. there is now
discussion of offering a new style
obligation. limited in the amount
available for any individual, in
which a non-negotiable security

New Borrowing

Inasmuch as the federal gov
eminent has for a decade been
unable TO balance the budget in
peace-time. il is contemplated
that substantial borrowing will
have to supplement the rapidly
accelerated tax receipts. Rev
enues will be augmented in l94l
not only by the rise of the ex-
cess profits tax. but more par
ticulariy because the taxable in
come of individuals and corpora
tons is expected TO be substan-
TALLY higher.

the thought is that il can go

Other Sour Notes

To the foregoing basic points
NAV be added the following I'M
favorable influences and symp-
toms:
Some business indexes have
reacted. and commodity price
averages have temporarily weak
ened.
The earnings reported by
Emitted States Steel Corporation
were not favorably received.
In general. high earnings are
regarded as inviting wage de-
mandS. taxes. and price fixlng
by the government.
The market for government
bonds has reacted. and indica-
tons of a little higher money
rates are TO be seen. -
The average price of stocks
has fallen through the Decem-
Der low. There has been a
failure of attempts To rally the
market. as during the trading
Z last Wednesday.
The most active stocks all de-
clined last week. Volume of
trading varied in a direction OPP
posite to price movements.
