Seleetive Limiting of Vision

Polarized light gives you a new
kind of vision by really limiting
it, or rather, selecting out certain
kinds of light rays for you to see.
If you sit by an open window you
can wave to a friend out of the
window in any direction, but if you
are in jail behind barred window
you can wave TO him only up and
down. Polarized light rays come
to your eyes in only one plane,
either up or down or sidewise.
Polarized lenses are optical slots"
through which light vibrations
have to squeeze.
But with that advantage you
can see certain object in land
scape that would be lost in con-
fusion otherwise-this is why it is
so valuable for airplane bombing.
With polarized lensc1 glare can be
controlled, completely eliminated.
1t will be a standard equipment OF
automobile headlights. These head
lights besides eliminating glare
will pick out details Of the road,
pedestrians and driving land
marks, even when passing another
car. Office lighting will be changed,
eliminating glare and increasing
visibility.
We are on the verge Of q new
era Of sight.

kind than all the tax bills, and all
the politicians, and all the labor
unions, and all the schemes Of
socialism and communism and
fascism. But this represents an
old crouch of mine-why so much
effort is given TO politics and so
little to the enormously more i'm
portant subjects Of science.
Science has always caused more
change and happiness in man
kinds life than all the politics
that ever happened. Mankind
went through the torture of the
Magma Charta, the Bill of Rights,
and the Reform Bill, the French
Revolution. the Emancipation
Proclamation and people rushed
excitedly around and called each
other all kinds Of names, and heads
were Dashed in and armies were
modified and then science quietly
laid the steam engine in the lap Of
mankind and it changed every de-
tail Of everyone's life more than
all the taxes and charters and bills
and proclamations, yet no con-
gress had to convene to get it done.
Enlarges Scope of Sight
But to get away from politicians
and back TO polaroid. 1t is liable
to cause a revolution in our way of
living because it enlarges the
scope Of one Of our senses-sight.
1t is a platitude TO remind you
that We are at the mercy of our
senses. but every once in a while
we realize how limited they are
and how much more extended the
senses of some animals are.
Your dog has far wider range
of hearing than you have: there is
q little gadget called Dalton's
whistle that can be blown and you
will hear no sound at all, but your
dog pricks up his ears, moves
around and begins TO investigate.
Your cat does better on a black
night than you do even with a
load of Vitamin A. And we would
all probably be embarrassed at
first if we were suddenly endowed
with the range and delicacy Of
smell a wild animal has.
polaroid is an extension of vi
sion by an arrangement Of glasses.
You can get it, or at least the
armed forces can get it, in the
form of goggles and spectacles,
and camera filters and periscopes
and angle finders. The United
States armed forces have a great
advantage in the use of polaroid
because our enemies lack the skill
and materials to make the instru-
ments.
