CHAPTER EIGHT

AND NOW SaWn was standing
before her, On his head was an
overseas cap with the two silver
bars of a captain, He had grown a
mustache, a heavy, dark, agrees
siVely masculine one. His Opaque
brown eyes showed no emotion. He
smiled, and she saw at once that
his left upper incisor was a peg
tooth, and then wondered how she
had noted such a minute change.
His face was fuller but still retained
the hungry look which had always
characterized it. She realized now
that it came from the shape of his
cheekbones, which We're prominent
and had shadows below them.
Hello, little friend" he said in
his big, expansive voice. He lad
always called her that. His use Of
the old words now conveyed a SUBJ
tie warning. For some reason of his
own he vas going to ignore the ten
years between them.
She opened the lower half Of the
door. She realized that although
her mind had gone on with the
business Of making observations. of
evOking in n second an entire
catalogue of recollecti0ns. she was
vulnerable to the shock of this re-
encounter. Her hand on the
wrought-iron latch was colder than
the metal itself.
Sawn's shoes made two heavy
sounds on the floor. He was smiling
as he folded her in a strong en-
brace and pressed his warm full
mouth on hers. His mustache
stabbed tiny points of pain into her
upper lip. He smelled of whiskey
She pushed him away.
She could think of nothing tc
say.
He spoke. You've got quite
gray, Victoria!" He sounded sur
pr!sed. and removed his cap with

daylight is a desirable quality. II
has also been found that tluoTes-
cent light generates less heat
than that from other types OF
lamps.
Glare Overcome
No matter what system CT hight
ing is employed, a certain amount
of glare may occur. This glare can
be overcome in various ways, ouI
it is no greater with t~luOrescent
lights than with other types. Light
is measured in a uni. known as d
foot-candle, which is the amount OF
light produced by a standard
candle at a distance of one 1oot.
1t has been found that twenty
foot-candles OF light are ncededlo
such tasks as reading. Hlgher
levels of light may be necessary
for other tasks. These STANDARDS
can be easily maintained through
the use of properly installed iluofe'
scent lighting.
An excessive amount OF llgh'
may produce symptoms OF eye
strain. Hence, the lighting must DO
planned so as to furnish JUST
enough illumination without an eS-
cess. Pickering of the lights Is
also troublesome. With tluorescei'
lighting, hickering is reduced toa
minimum.
The final conclusion OF TINS
group of experts was that iiuofts
cent lighting is not harmful TO 'h0
eyesight and will not produce ese
strain if properly install"a A"'
used.
Henderson daily dispatch., 1945-12-15

THE condition Of eye-strain is
OF such Importance that all of US
may we'll give it consideration. In
the prevention of eye-strain, pro-
per lighting is important. Manu-
f~acturers in industry realize that
the efficiency of all their employees
is greater when lighting is ade-
quate. In schools, 1t is particularly
important that sufficient lighting
Of the right kind be maintained.
In recent years, there have been
many new developments in meth
DDS of lighting. One of these is
t%1uorescent lighting. Many persons
have the mistaken notion that
such lighting may possess harm
full qualities not found in other
forms OF artificial lighting or in
daylight.
Study Made
However, a careful study has
been made of the matter by a COM
mlttee of experts, and they have
arrived at certain definite %conclu-
slons Any type of lighting which
gives off an excessive amount of
ultraviolet rays may be injurious
to the eyes. 1t has been found that
the ultraviolet energy in clear
summer skylight is three to four
times as much as comes from fuor-
escent lights.
1t has been found also that light
from ~tluorescent lamps resembles
daylight more closely than that
from other types of electric light
bulbs. This color resemblance to

SORES in the mouth are some
times very painful. and, because
of the many things which may
produce them, they are not always
easy to eliminate. According 10
Doctors Martin Heinemann and
Bert G.. Anderson of Yale Uni
verSity School of Medicine, these
sores in the mouth may indicate
that there is some disturbance of
the action Of the sex glands and
may occur during pregnancy or
at the change of life.
They may be due to allergy or
ovcrsensltlvity to some food or
may be only the result Of poor
care Of the mouth.
Lack of Vitamins
Often the sores produced by
these various conditions cannot be
told from those que to lack of GER
tain vitamins, particularly vita
min b., or ribohavin or niacin
which is a part of the vitamin
B-complex. Hence, when these
sores develop, the first thing hat
must be done is to attempt, if pos
sible, to determine the cause.
If the sores in the mouth are
due to a lack Of certain glandular
secretions, as indicated by irregu-
!arities in the periods, treatment
with the gland extracts are used
to bring about {: cure. 1t is sug-
gested that either estrogenic sub
stance or progesterone may be re-
quired. The estrogenic substance
is advisable for those patients in
whom the sores in the mouth ap-

The progeSteronc is used in
those women who have an excess
slve menstrual flow with pain and
swelling of the breasts before the
regular periods or in whom the
sores get worse about three days
before the periods. Both of these
gland extracts have to do with
the action of the ovaries or sex
glands.
In one of the patients treated
by Doctors Heinemann and An
derson, the elimination of straw
berries from the diet cleared up
ulcers Of the tongue as we'll as
b~iister-iike sores on the lips re-
Sembling cold sores. In another
patient. the elimination of eggs
from the diet cured the mouth
disorder.
Food Sensitivities
Other persons were found to be
sensitive to chicken, tomatoes and
oranges. In these patients, not only
were the foods causing the trouble
eliminated from the diet, but they
were also given ammonium chic
ride, which seemed to be quite
beneficial.
Sometimes it is found that
mouth occur in elderly per-
sons with anemia or lack of color
ing in the blood, together with a
lack of acid in the stomach.
A careful study will usually re-
veal the cause for sores in the
mouth so that the most effective
treatment may be- carried out.
