that Hugh had been able to dis

the crew of a German oil tanker

capture, had made their way in the

later been taken off by tramp

There was no indication that the

TOM WENT back to the Haci-
enda after Hugh's boat had dashed
away from the pier, The doctor had
finished his job and the grocery
boys boat las waiting to take him
to the mainland. Tom had arranged
for a boat and a boatman to be
hired by the island itself until
things adjusted themselves. This
boat would arrive later in the
morning.
mo serious damage to either
gentleman" the doctor explained
briskly to Tom. Mr.. Marchbanks
will be having a pretty severe head
ache for a few days. And MI. Nc
kay's arm will have to be carried
in a sling for a couple or three
weeks. But barring such minor
unpleasantnesses, think they will
be quite all right. I'll come over in
the morning for another look at
them, if you think best. Or if you
need me before then, youth have
your hired boat and can send for
me-"
OrWin and Lucy walked with the
doctor down to the pier and Don
aid drew Tom aside for a moment.
I'm on vacation, Forman. But
after all, a story is a story, My pa
per would be darned glad to get
one, if l cared to send it in. What
do you say? Shall l report this
or let it rest?" he asked.
"POWell's with the FBI," Tom
answered. Il believe he'd appreci-
ate it if you'd sort of soft-pedal
this for the time being, He'll be
back this afternoon, after a con-
ference, no doubt, With his supe-
riors in Washington. He'll tell you
whether it would be all right to
break the story
Donald nodded. That's okay
with me, After all, there's not
much we could say about what has
happened, except that a man was
found dead on the island and that
some shipWrecked sailors dashed in
and stirred things up a bit, The
story that is interesting and really
big is the one behind what has

Some Facts About
the Little Men

has nothing to do with the endo-
crime glands and cannot be helped
by the exhibition of the endocrine
glands. Nor is it hereditary.
The fundamental abnormality
is a lack of growth Of the bones Of
the arms and legs at the EXTREME
ties. Normally these extremities
are cartilaginous and are replaced
by bones in the course of doqelop-
ment.
These dwarfs are really similar
to Pekingese dogs. The Peke is
actually an achondroplastic dwarf.
The dwarf of good proportions
is called "ateleiotic"-"a pocket
edition of adults"-" "a man seen
through a reversed opera glass"
Another form of dwarfism is
due to ricketts,, which is simply a
nutritional disease of infancy due
to lack of Nitamin D and sunshine,
and calcium and phosphorus in the
diet.
Among the true endocrine
dWarfs, there are several forms,
some due to lack Of secretion of
one gland and some due to lack of
secretion of another.
A great deal has been done in
recent years in the way of at
tempting to treat dWarfs. There
is no question, some Of them can
be made to grow several inches if
the condition is properly diagnosed
and recognized early enough in
life.

lively intense illumination is nee
essary for visual efficiency and
that weak illumination causes dis
ease of the eyes is widely held. A
recent treatise says, Improper
lighting conditions and the misuse
of light and the eyes are effective
IN causing e~yestrain and perma-
nent injury to the eyes"
According to the new creed of
visual efficiency, the optimal
amount of artificial light is said
to be far in excess of that now
prevailing in "a half seeing
world"
The basic ideas of the higher
illumination campaign are I'M
justified on the grounds of eff
cheney and also on the grounds of
eye health. A very bad psyche
logical state is induced by the i'm
pllcation that the illumination in
the average home and office results
in some organic harm to the eyes.
Some of these statements are Illus
trated by pictures of a blind man
being led by a Seeing Eye dog, the
suggestion being that he became
blind because Of bad illumination
in his home.
No Permanent Injury
The fact is that no permanent
injury eve occurs to the eyes
from bad illumination. 1t is true
that prolonged concentration I'M
der inadequate seeing conditions,
estimated at less than 8 foot
candles, will result in fatigue. But
the fatigue is one of attention and
the complaint is generally head
ache. The average illumination in
most homes and offices is entirely
adequate for work with the eyes
and it can be stated quite def
nitely that it does not ever cause
any permanent injury. The fact
that it causes fatigue or headache
is not significant because these
are protective mechanisms and
the reader or worker stops when
they appear.

has been inculcated ."m0&ign

Dwarfism is caused by many
different conditions. The mere fact
of smallness in the group does not
mean dwarfism. 1t is merely nor
NAL heredity. For instance, Shet-
land ponies and Clydesdales are
horses, but it is perfectly natural
for Shetland ponies to be small
and Cl~ydesdales to be large as an
inherited characteristic.
There are three periods of
growth and development: o. in
fancy, from birth to two years,
when growth is fairly rapid and
steady; (2) childhood, from the
age of 2 to II, when growth is slow
and gradual, and (3) adolescence,
from II or 10 years to 1S years,
when it is rapid and likely to be
jumpy. At IS to 20 years the
bones have all become ossitied and
the skeleton simply grows heavier
until about the age of 25 years.
Dwarfism may mean a stoppage
of bony growth in any of these
periods. The endocrine glands are
often invoked to explain true
dwarfism. They actually explain
only a small number of cases.

a normal trunk and head, but very

against reading from glossy pa
per. There is no satisfactory evil
dence that nearsightedness is the
result of much close work, poor
illumination or reading print on
glossy paper, whereas there is
much evidence against it.
Careful medical examination
shows that a new 40-watt frosted
bulb will provide an illumination
of 10 foot-candles at % inches, Is
at 10 inches, and rs at ID inches.
This is entirely adequate for nor
NAL purposes although perhaps
more intense illumination may be
needed for elderly people whose
vision has been uncorrected by
lenses. 1t is not necessary when
suitable glasses are worn.
The fact is, every man can Judge
very easily the amount Of illumi-
nation that gives him comfortable
sight. There is no more reason
why he should have a light meter
in his home than why he should
have a thermometer for measur-
ing the temperature of his food
or a pair OF scales for weighing
his breakfast.
