Revolt of Convicts
In Nevada Continues

CARSON CITY, New, July 1s
P. - An occasional catcall
pierced the desert silence
throughout the night at the Ne
vada State Prison as some 225
eonvicts stubbornly carried on
q sitdown strike in the flood
lighted prison yard.
Eve can get them back to
their cells" Warden Art Ber-
nard told newsmen, but we
don't want anyone hurt"
The prisoners, less 1856 trus-
ties, started their rebellion at
$40 pm. yesterday when they
began milling about the open
yard instead of lining up for
dinner as is customary.
They demanded an interview
with Gov. Charles Russell and
declared they would not return
to their cell blocks until they
talked with him.
Grievances Listed
Among the inmates demands
were more variety in food

captain of the guard twice

EARLY Attention Important
If BabY's Eyes Are Crossed

he is no longer plagued with double
vision.
But with lack of use the unused
eye becomes less and less able to
see. Vision in the unused eye be-
comes very poor.
Poor vision in an unused eye
can usually be brought up to nor
NAL if treatment is started early.
If you suspect that your young
ster is cross-eyed have him exam
ined by an eye doctor, and ii pOss-
ible one who works a lot with
children.
The eye doctor may first recon-
mend glasses if the child should be
either near-sighted or far-sighted,
conditions which are often present
in crOss-eyed children.
Sometimes an eye doctor will rec
Ommend placing a patch over the
good eve. This makes the young
ster use the poor eye. When the
eye is used, it's vision increases.
Eye exercises are often prescrib-
ed to strengthen weak eye mus
cles.
In many cases surgery is neces-
sary. One operation is often enough
but occasionally it takes several
operations to straighten more than
one muscle.
Crossed eyes are a handicap in
more than one way. The yOungster
not only has trouble in school and
at play because he cannot see as
well as other children but also his
appearance puts him at a social
disadvantage.
Andy is a shy withdrawn little
chap and one reason is that he's
been tormented with You're cock
eyed" Gee, you look queer" until
he'd rather stay by himself than
60 out and play with the gang
Andy will grow up an unhappy
little guy unless he gets good eye
treatment right away. His eyes car
be made as good as anyOne's now
but if treatment is delayed some
I ears the results will not be a'
good.

''No, Mrs. Brinkly, Andy will not
OutgrOw his squint"
Crossed eyes need treatment
when the child is yOung-if poss-
ible, before the age of A.
Under the age of one we don't
worry about eyes that are not
straight all the time and even after
the FIST birthday an eye that wan
ders occasionally when the child is
tired is nothing to be. concerned
about.
But eyes that are crossed all the
time after the first birthday will
not improve without treatment. The
child will not outgrow the condi-
tion.
There are three kinds Of crossed
eyes. In the first type one eye
turns inward; in the second, one
eye turns outward and in the third,
one eye turns upward.
The basic cause in all types is
in the muscles that turn the eye.
Each eye has six small muscles
that move it about. All these mus
cIes must be exactly balanced. II
one is a bit stronger than its mate
the eyes will not move exactly to-
gether.
When the two eyes are not work
ing together they cannot focus on
the same object at the same time
The brain of a crOss-eyed child re-
ceives tgo images. Therefore he
sees double. Thus the world to the
cross-eyea child is probably place
of fat doubts images-fiat because
it's our ability to fuse the two
images from each eye into one thai
gives us our ability to see depth.
The cross-eyei child is too young
and too inexperienced to know
whats wrong. For a time he
sauints his eyes, tits his head
making every effort to combine thu
things he sees with his separate
eyes. Nothing works very well, 81
after a time he just forgets to lool
with one eye and does all his see
ing out Of the other eye. This wa,
