BEAUTIES HINTS Give Eyes Rest;
 It's Appreciated
BY ALICIA HART NEA Staff Writer

Stop after an hour of fine eye work. close your lids, then stare off into the distance. After one and one-half hours of close seeing, give your eyes real rest, and they'll do the tasks you impose with less strain.
 To keep the mist of fatigue out of your eyes work by a good light. Light is good, usually. if there is enough Of 1t. Best kind of artificial light is a combination Of the direct and the indirect. The direct light should be focused on the object you're working on; the indirect should diffuse rays around you.
 Worst lighting to work by is the spotty kind where rays concen- trate here. shadows gang up there. To accommodate first light, and then shadows. eye muscles must, of necessity, become shifters, and they'll punish you for the extra strain to which you put them.

clHicaeo, March 22.-People who i've in glass houses don't have to worry about the fuel shortage as much as the rest of Us do.

 mon. and who share the same wash basin or bathroom bowl that Is seldom thoroughly cleaned
 When the members of family have been long and constantly subjected to the same type of mi- cro-organisms they build up re- sistance that protects them from infection from these organisms But sooner or later some new or more vlrulent type of organism creeps in and infection runs ram- pant in the family. Eye infections. such as pinkeys and trachoma, can sometimes be traced to con- tact with common twole. Dis eases such as tuberculosis or gonorrhea may invade the eyes through this medium.
 USE NURSERY METHOD
 In my early public health ex- perience a family was brought to my attention in which father, mother, and eight children were all infected with trachoma. The parents and three children were practically blind as result of tho disease. This was condition that could have been prevented by ordinary cleanliness and personal hygiene.
 Every home nurse should see that each member of her house. hold has his own individual towel and wash cloth. The nurs- cry school method of identifying individual belongings by sym bol. such as duck a kitten or a flower, might well be used in the home to teach very smal chill dren to recognize their own tow els and wash cloths. The picture can be pasted on the wall over the towel rack or hook where the child's towel is always hung.
 Children should be taught never to wash in the same water used by another person, even though 1t is a close member of the family. They should be taught also never to rub the eyes with soiled hands or handkerchief.

They can be Of con- ventional design-Cape Cod, Vic- torian. Dutch Colonial-or, like the DuncanS', they can be modern and functional.
 A solar house is planned, from the beginning, to permit maXi- mum of sunlight to enter as many rooms as possible in winter time through several times the tradi- tional amount Of glass window area. This requires careful ref erence to compass points and scientific orientation of windows to sun locations.

And the windows are made of a new type of pane, designed by Libby Owens Ford, in which two sheets of glass are mounted in metal so that they are separated by a hermeticaly-sealed layer of dehydrated air, which lets the suns rays in but keeps furnace heat from getting out, and which neither frosts nor mists, whatever the differences in temperature may be, outside and inside
