con pictures gave the illusion of
depth by using two slightly dis
similar pictures, taken with a cam
era having two lenses placed short
distance apart, like the eyes.
If one looks at some object with
one eye closed and then the other,
the right eye sees more of the
right side of the object, and the
left eye sees more of the left side.
Then, when one looks at the same
object with both eyes, the two diff
ferent images are fused by the
brain.
DETECTING DEPTH
This composite image has dis
guised in it parts of each separate
image Bye fusing these two dis
similar images, the brain is capable
of detecting depth. 1t is this facul-
ty that assists in making possible
the meticulous coordination of eye
and hand that has given man the
degree of control over his environ
ment that he possesses.
In order that this perception of
depth can be accomplished, the
muscles that control the eye
movements must work in perfect
unison to insure the two eyes
moving as an entity.
In early infancy, only one eye
or the other will fix on an OBJ
ject, and will meain on it only
momentarily. 1t is not until the
fifth or sixth week of life that an
infant will fix both eyes on a
light. The ability to do so even
then is so feeble that one eye may
be DETECTED with the slightest in
reference.
But at about the age of five or
six months, the ability to fix both
eyes with exact parallelism, main
tanned in spite of obstacles, be-
gins, and toward the end of the
first year it is complete. This
gradual development of binocular
vision comes from the fact that an
infant at birth does not possess
this ability, but must acquire 1t
through experience, until 1T ultl-
mately becomes habit.
UNEQUAL VISION
When the vision in the two eyes
is unequal, for various reasons, the
image of the better eye is employed,
and if that from the poorer eye in
terferes, this image is suppressed by
the brain. At the same time, the
poorer eye tends to deviate from
the object and the child is said to
be crosS-eyed.
From what has been said, it is
apparent that the inability to

WAR WORKERS WILL
LEARN ABOUT EATING
BY BETTY MACDONALD
NEA Staff Correspondent

Washington, June 10 - Govern
ment agencies are joining forces to
educate some 100000 war workers
about proper food habits and to
encourage hot lunch programs at
defense plants. It'll be stab at
absenteesim, which surveys claim
can be cut by 10 per cent through
better nutrition habits.
The program is divided so that
the Department of Agriculture
will work out diets; OPA will chan
mel the food; WPB will get the food
supplies; the War Manpower Com
mission will train women and old
men in cafeteria work; OCD will
supervise the surveys.
Already instituted are: rolling
kitchens at one shipyard; classes
for war workers wives In what to
feed working men; instructions on
packing the Victory lunch kit;
cooking dinners for working wives
