PREVENTION OF NEARSIGHTEDNESS
the talk about myopia (American Journal of Ophthol
Dr. Brady
In
(nearsightedness. shortsighted
ness, a few weeks ago we said
that tne cnna
who inherits a
dolichocephalic
head (skull
long from
li out to back
and compara-
tively narrow
from ear to
ear) will not
necessarily do
velopc suffic
ient myopia or
near sigh ted
to require
glasses at the age of ten or later,
no matter how near-sighted one
or both parents may be.
Whether the individual with this
Teutonic shape of skull, as com
pared with the brachycephallc
shape of skull, short and broad,
the American Indian type, shall
become seriously near-sighted in
youth and early adult life de
pends upon the amount of strain
to which the eyes are subjected
in childhood, upon neglect of or
prevention of nutritional defic
iency in the developing period,
upon prescribing or proscribing
a physicinn, and upon the
amount of open air activity,
play, exercise, sport or work the
Individual gets during child
hood and youth.
The young person predisposed
to nearsightedness by heredity
or shape of skull must be care
fully protected from excessive
study or close work of any kind
indoors, from use of the eyes for
any kind of close work during
and for a few weeks after such
illnesses ns measles, scarlet
fever, whooping cough, mumps.
Indistinct or very fine print
strains the eyes seriously. Nei
ther evident redness nor other
tye symptoms show whether or
not there is eyestrain. Poor il
lumination In school and at
borne is a common, contributing
factor of near-sightedness.
Poor illumination or lighting
will be considered In detail in a
talk to follow. It concerns or
should concern everybody, re
gardless of the present state of
his or her eyes and eyesight.
According to Dr. A. A. Knapp
mology, Dec, '39) better nutri
tion, especially in relation to the
vitamin supply, explains why
there are fewer cases of progres
sive myopia today than there
were thirty years ago. Dr. Knapp
believes the rarity of myopia in
the American Indian, the fact
that rural people are freer from
myopia than people residing in
cities ,and the fact that fewer
people residing in high altitudes,
are explained by the greater
supply of sunshine vitamin D
they get. The great prevalence
of myopia In China is due to the
vitamin deficiencies and the
general poor nutrition in that
country. Dr. Knapp advises
supplementing the patient's diet
with vitamin D and calcium.
Dr. H. H. Husted (The Cyto
metric Weekly, Feb. 24, '44)
gives his observation of many
years that if myopic children
get plenty of sunshine or vitamin
D internally and drink plenty of
milk (best food source of cal
cium) or if they will not drink
milk then an adequate daily ra
tion of calcium to supplement
the poor diet, their myopia is
fairly well controlled, does not
progress and become more se
vere as they get no Into the
teens.
In the booklet "V-I-T-E Spells
Youth" (for copy send 10 cents
and stamped self addressed en
velope) a well-known horse-and-buggy
doctor advises that nearly
all growing children and youths
who are not as strong and vigor
ous as they should be, ought to
eat half a dozen tablets of vita
min D, thiamine and riboflavin
every day to supplement the
ordinary deficient American
form of vitamin D for vn-ji!? I
people to take. Whether to
check the progress of myopia
(gradual increase of nearsighted
ness in the 'teen and early
adult life) or to prevent develop
ment of such weaknesses as spin
al curvature, round shoulders,
fatigue posture, sway-back, weak
ankles, pronated feet, this daily
ration of vitamin D, vitamin Bl
(thiamine) and G (riboflavin) is
essential food, not medicine, and
must be continued daily for
years, like bread and cheese.

Price Control On i
Lumber Not Ended
Washington, Sept. 5 (U.R)
Forget about that OPA an
nouncement that price control (
on lumber and primary forest!
products has been suspended, !
the Office of Price Administra
tion said today. It was a typo
graphical error. ,
Lumber and primary forest
products appeared in a list of
materials exempted or suspend
ed from price control. The In
clusion, OPA explained, was "inadvertent."
The Western Governors' con
ference has been scheduled in
Cheyenne, Wyo., for Nov. 19 and
20.

New York, Sept. 5 (U.R)
Gloria Swanson said today that
charges of her fifth husband,
William N. Davey. that she de
frauded him by claiming to be in
perfect health were "'absolutely
falsehoods." and that actually
Davey had "worn her down with
his persistence and lavish prom
ises." Her counter-charges were
round three In a separate suit
battle which began when Miss
Swanson silent screen star, filed
rharges of abandonment against
Davey Davey retaliated with
charges of fraud, claiming that
she underestimated her debts
and jvcr-estlmnted her health
before they were married.
Miss Swanson, In asking $1000
weekly alimony, added today in
her nnswer to Davey's charges
that Davey was a millionaire
with nn 80-toot yacht that cost
8100,000 a year to run. She said
his hnchelor living expenses
alone ran to $3000 a month and
that he had a "great appetite"
for liquor and caviar.

Letter I i

individualism of the teen-agers'
dancing is Indicative of their
political activity when grown
up, then indeed democracy Is
safe, for they will follow no sot
pattern.
Seemingly following the beat
of a single drummer, yet while
some few moved about with an
almost stately decorum, others
gyrated with all the abandon of
intoxicated Mexican beans.
One of those which intrigued
me most was a maid of perhaps
15 summers. Bespccktaclcd and
dressed In a gingham frock right
out of Godcys' her hair was done
in pigtails. Only the use of a
monkey wrench could have ac
complished those tight little
braids. They stuck out from her
head as though they would
escape, if they could, from the
abandoned behaviour of the slip
pered feet which carried them
about. Finally the white bow
on one braid did escape and lay
on the floor, a poor little butter
fly come to rest. I wished I
could rescue It but soon it was
past all rescue, crushed by the
feet of the dancers.
One lad was In overalls and
danced with his knees bent at
what to me seemed a punishing
angle. He ricocheted rather than
danced, hurled about by some in
visible force outside his own con
trol but he never missed a
dance. I wished he and the maid
with the braids would get to
gether. That would have been
something But they never did.
One lad lighted a cigarette
but hastily unllghted it at the
descent of a scandalized chapcr
one. He had not, he apologized,
known of the restriction. Since
youngsters will dance, I can
think of no finer move toward
defeating delinquency than that
matrons see they have a super
vised opportunity to do so.
