By Herman N. Bundessn, M. O VISION Ik mo precious and the eye »<» delicate that injuries which I would lie trifling elsewhere must be given prompt attention when l they occur to the ••yea. A flurry of dust, carried on a high wind, can net up a certain amount of irritation merely by brushing over the aensitivt membranes of the eye. Thia is not a serious condition, whether caused by dust or other foreign material, but It can often result in soreness, redness aud much discomfort and, hence, requires tra*atment. Soothing Oil In a case like this, where there is generalized irßtation without actual scratching or cutting, the best thing to do Is to use a drop or two of soothing oil and then put the eye at rest. Alter a day or so the condition usually clears up. If the cornea or front part of the eyeball is injured, the condi tiou is serious enough to require treatment by a doctor. Hu<h injuries may come about in many ways. A baby, for instance. may scratch the conies wth his fingernail. hi older people, blows or a bit of metal thrown into the eye may cause this type of damage. Sometimes these scratches are difficult to see. For this reason, Dr. Frank W. Law of England, suggests the use of a preparation kuowa flijopcseelu to locate them. A drop or two of a solution of fluorescein in put Into the eye

staffed and with added equipment the schools will continue until next summer. There will be many artlvilie,, to add to the pleasure of the students and to make their work ) profitable as well as more interesting. it ——o o — it Attorney General Tom Clark a ' department is conducting 170 maj 11 nr anti-trust investigation. These I are not meant as attacks on (ree 1 enterprise, aa perhaps the comI panies investigated might like io suggest, but as supports of iode pendent businesses against the en * eroacbments of monopolies. They j are conducted not in obedience to i recently enact«d laws, but to that veteran piece of legislation, the • Hherman Anti-Trust Act of 189**. Few laws of the first magnitude f have stood up go lung or so well. , j —--o— —O- —- "The last twelve years have seen "the first successful, sustain ed effort • in behalf of organised ' labor. M. Clifford Townsend. Democratic nominee for Cnited Blates 1 Senator, said in a Ijibor Day ad- ‘ dress at South Bend. The former Governor and Lieutenant Governor ' of Indiana addressed a Labor Day celebration sponsored by the St. i Joseph county Industrial Union i i Council. Townsend, who, aa Governor of Indiana, recommended legislation which established the state labor ! division, told his audience that "if j capital aud labor ’ I dersfood their r.„i .al pn.bletnI the Wagner laibor Act and the i Indiana Division of Labor would ' not have been necessary." A School Experiment I Its a sale bet that few parents havo the experience of those in J Glenview, 111., where the children 1 can't wait until school begins. This unusual enthusiasm Is due to the drlights of the school building. The btructure Is all ou oue level. cmiimLmMu design to some of tiiu schools recently burit in California. Each classroom has its own outside door leading onto a play yard big enough equipped to eliminate , crowding and recess fights Each i room is decorated with bright . colors and has maximum window space with special glass to admit the valuable sun rays and mako artificial light unnecessary in ordinary weather. During fire drills the school can bo emptied in oneminute In this model school no one ever plays hooky, and the grades are 35 per cent higher than average. Glenview citizens think they are getting good return tor the money invested. Teachers and board ot education members Irorn many parts of the country are visiting the community to sec for themselves wfi-it can be done for school children with well plauuwd la rs llit SM't iirs* 2a flfl gefltli I*lßlß*lll.

l aud the egress is then washed out i with water. Then, a drop or two of boric acid j solution is put luto the eye and any I injury to the cornea will show itI self by a green stain produced by the fluorescein. The fluorescein will also show injuries which have occurred to the conjunctiva or lining membrane over the eyeball. Other Treatment These Injuries to the cornea are also treated by putting the eye at rest, putting some antiseptic sirbstauce such as a sulfonamide ointment In the eye to ward oft infection and using preparation.-, which arc soothing aud relieve the patu and discomfort. Hits of dtisi, metal or other objects may get into tile eye. If these objects lot 1 , <■ on the <« jirictlva they an lu.iaily i\u,ihc-.;< quite easily by the doctor it tuey are on the front pert of the eyeball or cornua, they may he so small that they cannot be seen without a magnifying glass. Sometimes the object is imbedded in th* cornea. I'nleas an object can he easily removed from the eye. the services of a physician should lie obtained promptly. It Is often necessary for the doctor to use some paiu-dead-•■ning Milurtauce In the eye before the object can be taken out. While these eye injuries may not seem serious, if they are Mflotted. they may lead to perms Mut damage to the eyesight

CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO I BIDE-A-WHILE.... Neil Wing- 1 low and Flo saw the weathered sign between two rustic posts. i Beyond a stretch of lawn and trees were a down doll's size log cabins grouped around a low build- i Ing of logs desig-ated on its door I as "Ye Lodge." It all faced a wide i •and beach cradled between twn I I wooded headlands pointing out into the lake. i "Shall wo bide?" asked Nell, l •topping the car at the turn-in. "Id love a swim!" said Flo. They had driven leisurely, coming up to the lake from Midland, not talking much and when they did. only of Inconsequential things Back of Flo’s quiet was the desire i to hold to the half-knowledge that bad coms to her in Midland. It was vague, now, It must some time oomo clearer. They engaged a cabin and hurried to settle themselves In it, laughing as they bumped into each ; other while they unpacked. Then they put on swimming suits and went down to the lake. Neil was not mueh of a swimmer; •he thrashed about in shallow water for a little while and then went in and stretched on the sand. But Flo •warn tar out. Now she was alone. Alone. In the whole vast universe. It seemed She rolled on her back, her face up to the sky. keeping herself afloat with little paddling movements of her hands. Now she could not see where the sky and water met, or the line of the shore or the trees—lt was as if all the little separate patterns had blended Into one whole one. She was part of it. The sense of it gave her a curiously happy feeling of wholeness. But the sound of a supper bell brought her out of it. She rolled over, reluctant!,, and swam back to Join Neil. Later, when they were in bed, Neil said. "Why don’t we stay here the rest of the week?" "Id like to." agreed Flo, with some surprise at hearing herself say it, tor moot certainly, no more than a few days ago. she would have scorned even the suggestion that a plane like Bide-Awhile could attract her—no bar, no orchestra, no waiters carrying luncheon trays to bathers on the teach, no men... The next day was bright and warm and they put on their swimming suite almost directly after breakfast Nell stopped to glance over a collection of old books on some shelves in a corner of the liv-

ing room. She carried one out with her. "Browning," she said to Flo when she Joined her. She took it with her to the beach It was too early to swim; Flo lay on the sand, her arms crossed under her head for a pillow. But Neil sat straight, the book open against her hunched knees. She began to road to herself, • little here, a little there, turning the pages with a loving familiarity. Now and then she turned them back to reread some lines. Flo watched her with some surprise. She herself seldom read poetry. In most of It, she considered, the sense was buried under streams of words and there simply wasn’t time to dig It out! She would have said Neil would feel the same impatience. Doug liked poetry. • • • Che remembered that some book of it always lay on his desk in his study. She remembered bow It had amused her when she noticed it. how she’d hoped fervently be wouldn’t begin quoting lines of it to her! Well, he hadn’tl She turned her face into her arm. "Read some aloud, Neil " She asked it because she did not want to think of Doug—not yet Noil hesitated. Theo she began to read aloud, from one page and then another, as she had been reading to herself. Now and then she paused to look up at Flo to share with Flo her pleasure In them. And though Flo caught only tbs sound of the words, she had a sense of sharing. Neil smoothed one page, bent a little over IL “Here's a line." And something In the way she said It made Flo think she was not going to share this. But she did. after a moment's hesitation: "Ah. but a man’s reach should exceed his grasp, Or what's a heaven for?" She shut the book, threw her head back. "If I'd learn that, remember It— I might not go on living on secondbest—and everlastingly finding excuses for doing so!" Flo sal up in astonishment. She had thought of Neil Winslow as Site self-satisfied—as knowing all i answers! “I could have read that line a hundred times and not thought of its meaning that!" Nell looked down at the book, shut in her bands. "No one finds tn poetry sxac'.ly what the next one does ■ Or jg
