Find Proper
Eyeglasses
In Bonnbiings
BY G. b. LAL

NEWLY discovered scientific
principles 10 aid in the pro-
lection OF the eyes and the skin
against the harmful effects Of
incendiary bomb radiations were
revealed today.
The scientists OF the National
Bureau of Standards Labora-
tories, in Washington. ID. C.,
have investigated through eX-
periments, in which mcendiary
bombs were exploded, just what
kind of rays are produced in
such explosion and which OF
these rays are particularly in
furious.
They found greatest danger to
the eyes is from the intense
white brilliance produced by in
cendiary bombs on explosion.
THE best protection against
Il these rays is in the use of
special eyeglasses which must be
tinted to particular degrees Of
shading. The scientists have
established standards for these
requirements.
The colored glasses Of sports
wear are not dark enough TO
eliminate the glare of the in
cendiary bomb white radiations.
A shade a. lens. which trans
mits only 5 per cent Of the light,
eliminates glare. but it seems
too dark for the wearer 10 60
about safely. Hence a shade Of
grade "2.5 TO g." that transmits
% to Ia per cent Of light. is
considered the safer one for air
raid emergencies.
Concerning colors, the SCI
entists have found that blue

low glasses arc preferable 10

Alcoholic
Beverage
Danger Cited
lis Effects on Diabetes
Given Attention
BY DIR. LOGAN CLENDENING


I HAVE been asked to answer
= the question as TO whether
alcoholic beverages are HARM
full to people with diabetes or
whether, by saving caloric in
take, they are beneficial.
Few people who drink cock
tails realize how many calories
they are taking in. The caloric
value of alcohol is seven calories
per gram as compared with four
calories for starches. four for
proteins and nine for fat.
1t is true that alcohol has mol
carbohydrates and therefore,
should theoretically be used by
the diabetic in order to provide
him with extra calories without
increasing his carbohydrate IN
take.
But in actual practice the use
of alcohol is so insidjous that
the diabetic may increase his
caloric intake so that il is in|
, excess of his required diet. I'M
which case alcohol or no alcohol,
he needs more insulin.

According 10 the studies of the
Nutritional Laboratory of the.
Carnegie Institute. insulin has
no effect directly on the rate OF
disappearance of alcohol from
the body unless the insulin is
given with sugar.
In Plato's republic the person
with diabetes might use alcohol,
but in the United States. where
most people earn their own liv-
ings, the diabetes who drink arc
a menace 10 themselves and 10
others.
