Within the last 60 years, five Grover Cleveland (Di, Benjamin Harrison (R), William Howard Taft (R>. Woodrow W’lison (D) and Herbert Hoover (R) have all served a portion of their terms as Chief Executive without a supporting* party majority in thd House. President Truman, third Democratic president since 1833 to find himself opposed by a Republican House, balances the three Republican presidents who have faced a predominantly Democratic House. E. L.

The Child With Cross-E ye

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. D. IN THIS day and age there I* little rea<«in why any child should have to go through life with crosseye because there are few cases of thia benuly-destroying handicap which will not respond to proper treatment IF It is begun early enough. In fact, perfect results can be obtained In many Instances only if correction begins ae t>oon m the defect appears On the other band, even adults who have cross-eye can be helped Uy operations which will make tbe eyes look straight even though they will not restore perfect vision. In the child, however, there la •very chance that normal vteisn can lie secured along with restoration of the appearance. Hence, parents should always take the child to an eye specialist the moment cross-eye is noticed. Early treatment will not only keep tbe condition from becoming worse, but it may save years of treatment later and, possibly, make operation unnecessary. Careful Observation According to Dr. Mary Pugh of England, a cbild who bas developed cross-eye. say. between the ages of one and five years, will peed to be under careful observation and treatment until be is la >is teens. The amount and kind of 1

bulldoMis at work. Landing ships would disgorge these huge machines which in a few hours would prepare an air field. Japan bad nothing to compare with such in ventions. They symbolised in a graphic way the might and organization of America. Here Is another 1 example of the important part industry plays In modern warfare Bulldozers arriving In LSTs, quite as much as guns, brought victory In World War 11. Q 0 Problems resulting from concentration of bnsiness In metropolitan areas seem to be headed ] for u solution in recent developments near Boston and Chicago. In Beverley, Maas., a centralized shopping area is under construction. The twenty-five shops and stores Included in the group are connected by underground walks and served by underground delivery areas. Branches of Boston department stores are represented, as well as bowling alleys, restaurants and theaters. The Chicago project Is more comprehensive, with plans for a complete new suburb, including residence and business sections, besides sites for manufacturing plants. It is to be laid out according to modern city-planning standards. o 0 Labor and Politics One cause for the Republican I victory was the labor vote. According to the popular idea, the Republicans arc the party of the employers and the Democrats of labor, with other groups divided. Actually there has always been a considerable Republican labor contingent, especially in the Amerl can Federation of Labor. The New York AFL leaders, while officially neutral, viewed Gov. Dewey with a benevolent eye. Two years ago this group supported the Republican opponent of the one man who presumably should have commanded labor support. Senator Robert F. Wagner, author of the Wagner Labor Relations Act. President William L. liutebenon of the carpenters' union has for more than 20 years been chairman of the labor division in Republican campaigns. Vice-President Matthew Woll, second only to President Green in the Federation, is a steadfast Republican. The moat notable labor Republican is John L. Lewis, who has supported the G. O. P. national ticket for more than 25 years, except in 1336. That the Republicans have one senator from West Virginia, and hi the recent election nearly secured a second, is due to the support of Lewis's coal miners. < What of the future? The Republicans are generally expected to support drastic anti-union legislation. Will they run the risk of offending Hutcheson, Woll and Lewis? If they do. will Hutcheson. Woll and Lewis react as nnion men or as Republicans?

. treatment will depend on the kind i of dhorder present. I The most essential part of this • treatment is to develop full vision I of each eye separately. i Development of vision in the * eyes is carried out by keeping one ’ rye covered for varying periods of limn, and by the use of eye oxer- ' cises. The second point in the ’ treatment is that eye glawos to correct any error in vision are worn and, If possible, these are fitted to the eyes as aoon as the cross-eye is noticed. The glattees may be fitted to the eyes even d wring the early part of tbe second year of lite. Operation for Cross-Eye Operation to correct cross-eye in children at this early age. as a rule, are not done. The third step in the treatment is to develop what bt called normal binocular vision, which means that the cbild looks at object* with both eyes and then fusee the images This, as a rule, cannot be undertaken until the child id about five years of age, and Is aocompMebed by the use of exercises. Finally, in castes wMch cannot be corrected in other ways, operation may be required and if It is. Dr. Pugh advises that great care must be used In carrying oat exercises at home to keep the vision normal. - . — Am

"You'd better lake my arm.” She put her arm through his and laid her hand lightly on his wrist. She would remember that she had been this close to him and she waa glad It waa too dark for him to see what the warmth and livingneas of him did to her face "You're holding your breath,” he said. "Is tne wind too much tor you?" "No Oh. no. I like It I’ve always loved to walk in the wind, and espcdlally when I don’t have to care how 1 look.” He laughed out !t waa laughter that seemed to eome from deep within him. abandoned laughter that made her realize how young he really was. almost as young as she. "If that isn’t a characteristically feminine remark. ...” She would remember all of this, his nearness, the sound of his cane on the gravel path, the sound of the wind In the high trees, the swiftly moving clouds In the sky. the amber lights of the inn shining softly .. . and her footsteps measured circumspectly. Finally ho said, "November seems an odd time to take a vacation." "Not when you've always wanted one in the autumn and you've either been tn school or a laboratory. Not when you have no choice because the other people In the laboratory have been there longer and have first choice. '* "Laboratory ?” "I'm a chemist ... in a minor sort of way."

He chuckled. “Well, hair cut off so tr.at it won't fall in the test tubes, a lean, sexless figure in a white coat, glasses, of course, and a slightly antiseptic smelL" She laughed. "Wrong. Wrong on all counts " “A working scientist and I didn't think you were old enough to have wine. I have been away too long " She bit into her lip when she said, "And you're not at all lhe sort of person I thought you were. You're rather fun." "Fun?" he asked and there was faint incredulity tn the tone of his voice. "Fun? If I'm rather fun, then you’re rather wonderful Why? Because it's perfectly natural for you to want to know why I'm here, how 1 was wounded and what theater of war 1 was in and how I feel about It all You're wonderful because you haven't asked.

In any play or book the background Is Important, but not as important as what is happening at the moment or what is to come. We're etUI young enough, in spite of the war. that our eyea are turned on tomorrow.” "1 like the way you say that—with conviction and faith. I also like the voice that says It. You have a lovely voice. Very well. I don’t particularly want to talk about it. you know." “You have seen too much and you have asked yourself too many questions, the answers to which history will have to write. There's a big gap between the past and the present. I know, but I think, if you will give yourself time, you esn build a bridge between them But who am I to be telling you or anyone? I wasn't in the war." "You're as good as anyone. Perhaps better than most" "I don't know about that But 1 do know that those of us at home have been too prone to tell the returning soldier what he must does if we can remotely guess how he feels or what he has seen. We've talked adjustment and rehabilitation so much that girls I know were afraid to face their men for fear of saying or doing the wrong things." There was a kind of tired amusement In his voice when he asked. "Are you speaking for yourself?" She turned and looked at the

At the stairs in the inn she debated whether to walk behind him. before him or beside him There was only an Instant to decide. She walked beside him. At her door he paused Lowering his head so that his eyes were almost level with her he said, "I am trying to make tliat bridge Good night, Lydia.” "Good night... Chris.” • • • The next morning on the fourth tee she looked back to see if he were walking this morning also And when she saw turn. she knew again the swift soaring of net spirit Not the feeling of wanting to run away as It had been with Wade, but rather the feeling of wanting to run to him. She stood still, her hands in the pockets ot her jacket her hair tossing In the wind, and waited for him There van no one elsr about—only she. standing on *ht knoll waiting, and Chris, lirqpine toward her We two. she thought, so strangely met .. . and now this strange alchemy.
