The am ount of light which th e eye needs or can handle, is hours of 9:30 and 11:30 a.m. Dr. P au l Ronniger will give le g u lated by tl.-e pupil, while the physical exam inations and im­ color of the light is kept constant, m unizations, assisted by D orothea by th e filtering system, which Miller, P ublic H ealth N urse. ers as a “co.'or sensation.” W heth­ e r or not the color sensation is pleasant, depends largely on the intensity of th e color, and the length of tim e th- eye is exposed to it. The brig h ter the color, the more quickly is tires the eye. It is im p o rtan t lor the a rtist to realize th a t size, intensity atm lin e , at'-’ factors wl^ch constitute to tal visual sensation. All things being equal, you could w rite the form ula S xIxT equals total stim ­ ulus. A bill-board poster can use large area of brilliant red, be cause th-e length of tim e the eye is exposed to it. is so slight. W hile a picture in a home, which you have to look at day afte r day, requires partially filters colors that would otherw ise be too stim ulating. If the eye is exposed to a patch of bright color, th? color r-'gis*- m ore subdued colors. A large patch of w arm gray, can give th-.' sam e w arm sensation as a small spot of pure red. You can live indefinitely w ith a more moderate am ount of color. By the same token, a large area of pur? color :s not disturbing, if it is ju st seen now and then. T here a re oth er considerations, such as th e size of the room, in which the picture is hung, th a t m ust be tak en into acount. T he w alls of my studio are cov- e: d w ith huge ab stract paintings, which a re done in bright flashing colors, while my ap art.n en t, has only a couple of unebstructive pictures. Th pictures which hang in the studio belong Tl • y stim ulate ex­ citem ent and life. B ut in my ap artm en t, w here I do most of my w riting and reading, would be like teon-signs, flashing on anil off. It would be difficult to concen­ tra te und. r these conditions. Of? :i the difference between som ething exciting, and som ething gaudy, is very slight. The hum an nervous system has a wide m argin stim ulus, but th e m om ent the stim ulus exceeds a certain limit, the hum an system reje cts it all together. I t is com parable to the idea of the '»straw th a t broke the camels back.” I m entioned th a t a pleasantly stim ulating sensation is a small am ount of pain. Most people like to have their scalp or back mass­ aged. It is am azing w h at vigorous massaging, som e people find soothing. It seems to give them a feeling of being alive, but if the m asseur presses ju st th e slightest bit harder, they complain. A stim ulation w hich is pain- ful to one person, may t e consul- ercd soothing by another. Alsof body resistance to certain ele­ m ents varies greatly, from one Iierson to another. F o r example, the am ount of sunshine which on? person finds healthy, m ay put another person in th e hospital. R seems plausable th a t personal preference for ce rtain colors is not, as so m any people believe, en tirely a m a tte r of imagination but m ight depend cn o th e r factors, such as differences in chemical properties in th e body tissue, of various individuals. J .X ? X Approximately 40,000 approved signatures will be required to put the amendment on the ballot. We are strong’y in favor of this, of course, and if in the near future somebody approaches you with such a petition, please go ahead and sign it. It seems to be the only fair way of giving the small counties a break, and it has worked very well on a national level as the strength of our country testifies. But, and there is always a but, we don’t think the amendment has much of a chance, although the re­ port we got on the subject didn’t say so. The facts are that the heavily populated areas- such as Portland, or in the valley wouldn’t be benefited. They would, in fact, I k - hurt by the amendment. Conse­ quently they would vote against it, and by the simple expedient of having the most voters, we think that they could defeat the measure. But it is worth a try.
