Epidemic
Virus Known
AS Pink Eye
BY DR.. LOGAN CLENDENING

~ ASAhs A~OoshaN NeA@A~~N nv ~
IN HAWAII last Summer a pc
= culiar form of conjunctivitis
appeared.
II wasn't very serious. except
in the large numbers Of people
affected.
1t might be rated as little
worse than a bad cold, but an
attack lasted two or three
weeks and every one who
caught il complained more than

In October il began TO appear

reaching its peak incidence in
December.
To show how widespread II
became, il was estimated that
as many as 2 per cent of all the
employees in some shipbuilding
plants were affected.
Some special groups Of work
ers who had TO put a special
strain on the eyes. such as weld
ers, were more frequently af-
fected than others.
CONJUNCTIVTTIS. or ordi-
~ nary pink eye. is known TO
be contagious. and a particular
group OF germs is in most cases
responsible and can be cultured
from the secretions.
But in these cases, although
they were thoroughly examined
by psychologists, no germs or
any kind were found and they
are now known as cases of cpl
demic virus conjunctivitis.
I saw a few cases and can tes-
tify that il is quite an uncom-
Portable condition.
At first there is pain, excess
sive teariness and the feeling
that a granular or dusty body
OF other foreign substance Is in
the eye.
The lids are greatly swollen.
although there is no actual pus
discharges often happens IN
ordinary pink eye.
The whites of the eyes are
intensely redeemed and as a
nearly regular thing there are
small hemorrhages beneath the
coats of the whites of the eyes.
Reports of how you caught

theory which always comes up
in such cases was that 1t was
due to swimming in pools.
THE real method of spread
l. was probably plain contain
ination with soiled linen, and
hands.
One person with a mild case
rubs his eyes, handles a tool,
puts il down, then another per-
son picks it up and then rubs
his eyes.
The welder or worker at the
brightly lighted machine didn't
strain his eyes. but the light
made his eyes itch and he
rubbed them more than some
body else.
This is a lesson that can be
applied to all cases of pink eye
because they all tend to occur in
epidemic form.
1t is astonishing how many
cross contacts people can make,
such as pupils in a schoolroom,
workers in an office or a family

Strikes Still

An audience of 130 million sits in on the War Labor Boards fact finding hear ings on the "little steel" dispute involving 175,OOO workers. That audience grants the nominal importance to both sides Of union security" and $1 day wage increase. But above all that audience demands that not one of those 175,OOO workers lose one hours work. After Japan struck, labor pledged: no strikes; industry pledged: no lockoutS.
 Yet unofficial War Department statis- tics indicate man-days lost in strikes on Army war orders will total 32,700 for the first 26 days of February. The 32,7OO tman-days lost last month may not seem important compared with hundreds of thousands of man-days lost each month before Pearl Harbor. But they are irn- portant to that audience of 130 million. And the fact that time lost increased over January when 'only" 5000 man-days on Army contracts were wasted - does not ease the situation.
 Perhaps failure to obtain $1 more day would work hardship on employees. Per- 'haps granting of union security" de- mands would work hardship on employer.
