A YEAR or so ago Mr.. Aldous
Huxley turned from the writing of
almost fiawless modern novels to
boost the methods of a Mr.. Bates

his youth Mr.. Huxley suffered an
attack of kcratitis punctata which
left one eye just capable Of light
perception and the other with
about 81 of normal vision. He un-
doubtedly got the best Of medical
advice which evidently was dis
couraging as to any helpful treat
ment. But it seems to NE a lesson
which all doctors should take to
heart, that this highly intelligent
man was never satisfied with
SO discouraging a verdict, even
though he appreciated the reason
ableness of it.
Not Me
There is something in every hu-
man nature which says-"Some-
where, somehow there is some
method that is going to cure me
of this horrible disability. 1t was
not destined that this should hap
pen to me-"
Those of US on the outside can
be more calm and detached about
it, but We must recognize that
human urge to try anything that
even suggests relief.
Eye Exercises
Mr.. Huxley met a woman dis
ciple of the late MIR. Bates who
introduced rim to a set of eye
exercises which includes twink
ing" nose reading,' "palming,"
and Stunning" Within q month
or more he had learned to read
without the use of lenses and could
read without fatigue and strain
for he had learned to avoid the con-
ditions r.aking for strain. He ad-
mits his visual acuity has not in
creased, but says he has learned
to use what he has to greater ad-
vantage.
The act of seeing is not entirely
confined to the eyes. There is a
brain part Of it, too, and if | un-

A condition called chronic nephrl-
It's, which is a chronic lntiamma-

been utilized for this condition Of
high blood pressure with chronic
kidney disease.
Recently, a new type of diet has
been employed, and it seems to
have met with a great deal of sue

juices, sugar, and preparations to
supply iron and all of the neces-
sary vitamins which the doctor
will prescribe.

Of the Importance of this diet,
there may be certain objections to
it. To begin with, it is monotonous.
They may complain that it does
not taste good, and it must be con-
tinued for a long period of time
before results are obtained. Fur
thermore, the patient cannot add
foods to the diet according to his
tastes. Then, too, it is best, as a
rule, to have the patient in the hos
pital for a period of time until he
becomes regulated to the diet.
Nevertheless, in view of the good
results obtained, all of these OBJ
jections may be ignored.

1ST DIVISION BEYOND THE
RHINE, Mar. 27-Trudi, a 20-year-
old German girl. was in an American
field hospital today after risking her
life to give first aid to wounded
American soldiers.
Vengeful Nazis shot her and
burned her home, and she was found
near the blazing farmhouse, lying
on the ground and writhing in pain.
Her hospital bed is surrounded by
gifts of fruit, candy and cookies
from grateful Americans for whom
she dared the shellfire of her own
countryrnen, and there was no fine
for fraternizing in this case.

criticize American tanks.
The War Department today made
public a letter from the Sd Army
commander to 1t. Gen. Thomas T.

which Gen. Patton denied a charge
that American tanks are not COM

or Tiger tanks. This, said Gen.
Patton, "is wholly incorrect for sew

The text of Gen. Patton's letter,
written from Sd Army headquarters
under date of March 10 and refer
ring to the presence of the Army at
Mainz, Germany, follows:
MY Dear Gen. Handy:
ut has come to my knowledge that
certain misguided or perhaps de-
liberately mendacious individuals,

therefore claim some knowledge of
the various types of equipment.

with reference to the tank,
either Mark v QighD or Mark w

home that these tanks are not COM

wholly incorrect for several reasons.

note.)
Since August l, 1914, when the
Sd Army became operational, our
total tank casualties have amounted
to 1,136 tanks. During the same
period we have accounted for 2,287
German tanks, of which 808 were
of the Tiger or Panther variety and
851 on our side were Mark w.
These figures of themselves re-
flute any inferiority of our tanks,
but let me add that the Sd Army has
always attacked and therefore bet
ter than 10 per cent of our tank
casualties have occurred from dug

tanks, whereas a majority of the

'Screeching 'Mimies'
Used by Germans
On Western Front
BY THOMAS r. HENRY,
Star staff Correspondent.

WITH UNITED STATES
TROOPS ON THE RHINE,
March 28.-Screeching "mim-
ies"-big sisters of the ones
used some time ago on the
Russian front-made their first
appearance against United
States troops here today.
The "mimies" are three-bar-
relied rocket guns, firing a 200
pound explosive shell and hav-
ing a range of about 5000 yards.
Their three barrels compare to
the nine of the "nebelwefers,"
but fire a projectile more than
twice as large. They are used
as a mortar for the closeup
support of troops.
The range of the ''mimies" is
shorter than that of the "nebel-
werfer." but it is longer and
more accurate than that of the
large German rocket which is
fired from a metal frame and
which is the little sister of the
V-bomb. The "mimies" are
highly mobile and provide great
close-support fire power.
