TREATMENT OF GLAUCONIA

AAek1fAAlNE0NA OE 0AAkAOOONAA
 In addition to the hygienic meas ures suggested in the preceding talk about hardening of the eyes (glau- coma, increased intraCcular tension or pressure within the eyeball) and the use of drops to contract the pupils or prevent dilation or en- largement of the pupils, there are two other remedial suggestions I'd investigate carefully if I had glau- coma-that is, I'd want my oculist to give them fair trial at any rate.
 First is cortin therapy. Cortin is an extract of the cortex or outer shell of the adrenal gland. (This should not be confused with adrenin or adrenalin, which is derived from the medulla or inner part of the ad- renal gland) Other names for cor- tin or the adrenal ecortex hormine are adreno-cortin, suprarenal cortex solution and eschatin. Precise chem ical character of this extract is un- certain-probably more than one hormone in it, but at least one has been chemically isolated mad identi- fled by the frightful name desoxy- corticoSterone. Dr. Emanuel M. Josephson, New York oculist, has reported excellent results f m treatment of glaucoma with cortin injections into the vein together with salt solution. Physicians may find Dr. Josephson's monograph on Cortin Treatment of Claucoma of informative and practical value. ct is not for laymen).
 z. Unlike adrenin or adrenalin (the hormone from the inner part or pith of the adrenal gland0 cortin contracts the pupils. It is desirable to give the patient sufficient cortin to accomplish this. Incidentally, when the use of weak solution of adrenalin which would have little or no effect on the pupils of normal eyes causes wide dilation or en- largement of the pupils, the effect is characteristic of glaucoma.
 Other solutions of medicines used as eye drops to contract and keep contracted the pupils are high ly beneficial in the early stages of glaucoma. The important thing, which too many victims of harden ing of the eyes, glaucoma, fail to realize, is that early recognition of the nature of the trouble may save eyesight which otherwise is almost certain to be lost. No one but the trained eye physician (oculist, oph- thalmologist) is competent to diag- nos glaucoma in the early stage. The condition is too. often allowed to advance unchecked under the impression that it is just "eye- strain', neuralgia" and the like. If every individual who complains of headache with disturbed vision, par ticularly cloudy vision or halo vii sion or fogginess as though glasses were streamed or sanded, were prop erly examined by the eye physician, great many cases of glaucona would be recognized in time to save such loss of sight.

She is right about that, too, for she is good looking enough to find herself being called a "glamor girl I-despite the fact that she is 8 successful career woman who is also a wife and mother and that wouldn't help her any in doing an important job.
 It is hard for a woman with an important job to steer a middle course as far as she as person is concerned. If she affects clothes and personality so shorn of fem inity that they border on the mas culine she soon becomes target for ridicule.
 But, if she has a glanor tag hung around her neck, she loses the respect of a lot of people who still find it hard to believe 8 woman can have both glamor and brains.
 It looks as though Mrs. Hobby will be able to steer middle course. It really Is important that she do so, for a women'S army is a new idea to Americans-and the work of that army will be easier if it is established right away that the women who wear the uniform of the WAAC aren't either glamor girls or battle axes but intel ligent young women who are as eager as the country's young men to help win this war, and who are entirely capable of doing the work that is assigned them.

Berlin Boasts
Convoy Sunk
Cite SO Allied
Ships Destroyed

BERLIN (From German
Broadcasts), Sept. 2l-(P)-The
Germans boosted today that
their submarines and planes had
smashed a great Russia-bound
British and American convoy in
Arctic waters. sinking 38 mer-
chant ships totalling 100000
tons and destroying or damaging
six warships in six-day run
ming battle.
(There was no confirmation
of these claims from any Allied
sourceD
Only battered remnants of the
convoy, which consisted origi-
nally of As freighters and tank
ers, escaped, according to an
announcement by the German
high command broadcast yester-
day over the Berlin radio with
a fanfare of trumpets.
The announcement declared
the battle represented the Sec
ond great victory won by Ger
man forces on the northern con-
voy- route recalling previous
Nazi communicates reporting
that 35 vessels in a 38-ship con-
voy had been sunk in the same
waters between July 2 and 7.
(The German version of the
July convoy battle, has been
termed grossly exaggerated
by the British)
Tabulations released by Ger
man authorities after the high
commands announcement said
that the Nazi armed forces had
destroyed a total of Fl, 900, 900
tons of enemy shipping since the
start of the war. The tabulation,
which gave Allied shipping los
ses for September as $4,000
tons, did not include vessels des
troyed by Germany's allies.
The high command said the
recent battle began on Sept. ID,
when German forces detected
the convoy trying to slip
through under the cover of ex-
tremely bad weather. The con-
voy was said to have been
strongly escorted, and the Ger
mans reported their planes en-
countered stiff resistance from
both anti-aircraft fire and Allied
fighter planes.
Nazi bombers were credited
with sinking Is freighters out
right and crippling eight others
so severely they could be con-
sidered lost. Submarines were
said to have accounted for five
more merchant ships.
In addition, the high COM
mand said, German planes sank
one destroyer and two patrol
vessels and set a second destroy
err afire, while submarines
scored torpedo hits on two Bri-
fish destroyers.

MULTIPLE ATTACKS
In June, l94l, she was re-
ported damaged during Russ
ian aerial attack on the once
free city of Danzig. She did not
appear again in the news until
March, 1912, when she was
spotted off the Norwegian coast
by the British, attacked by tor
pedo planes and driven to shell
ter in ford.
II was believed on that occas-
ion that she was sallying forth
for an attack on Allied supply
lines.
The Tirpitz was launched at
Wilhelmshaven on April 1,
1899. She has been listed Off
cially as a 35,000-ton ship, but
the British say she probably is
10000 tons or more.
The reported temperance of
the Tirpitz followed by only "a
hours a statement by First Lord
of the Admiralty A. V. AleXan-

unofficial naval experts as in
dicating that Britain's newest

ready for action.

carriers, % cruisers, between 80
and 90 destroyers and 38 SUBJ

SEEK EARLY DECISION
Seeking an early decision in
the Stalingrad battle, the Ger
mans sent new Messerschmitt
fighter, the 1896, into the air
for the first time to protect the
sWarms of dive bombers. The
army newspaper, Red Star. said
the new plane, with a 1900
horsepower motor, developed $50
miles an hour at 5000 feet and
325 miles at 10000 feet. The
plane is outfitted with armor
plates not found in the older
models and is somewhat slower.
A communique described how
one Soviet unit in the streets of
Stalingrad destroyed six Ger
man tanks, IA motor vehicles,
two guns and seven machine
guns and killed 800 Germans.
Other German troops, stalled
for days in the drive on the
Grozny oil fields at Mozdok,
were battling fiercely with the
Russians. Wet cavalrymen
were reported to have dispersed
company of enemy infantry.
In another sector of the MoZ-
dok area. the Russians turned
back a German attack launched
with about 100 tanks, a COM
munique said. Over 200 Ger
man tommy gunners were re-
ported killed and ID tanks de-
stroyed.
1t was in the Mozdok region
that German Field Marshal
EWald Won Kleist was reported
killed Saturday by the Russians.
(The Germans denied officially
yesterday that Won Kleist had
fallan.)
Southeast of Novorossisk, the
Black Sea naval base now in the
hands of the Germans, the Rus
slams said two companies of Ger
man troops were annihilated in
fierce battle with Russian
marines.
At Voronezh, 800 miles north
west of Stalingrad, the front
was alive with battle. German
counter attacks were reported
repulsed with severe losses for
the Germans. In three days, the
Russians said officially, more
than 5000 German officers and
men were wiped out in one sec
tor.
In the far north, too, the Rus
slams dug at German positions.
Forces of Soviet marines, the

hind the German lines, dcmol-
ished ten bunkers, an ammuni-
ton dump and five dugouts and
