Well, you can tell them that they don’t need to worry about me or my Americanism. You know how I stand on communism, fascism and Hitlerism,” he said. : The national commander urged closely organized departments.

Seientifié research has exploded and
odtmoded many ideas about eyes and seeing, which are so important in our daily Tivos. For example: « with the eyes alone...
| The fact is that seeing affects the
entire body. Just using your eyes for a long time in poor light may be as tiresome as digging a ditch. Even the rate of your heartbeat is affected by the amount of light you have on your book or work. Experiments in the ‘world’s most famous lighting research laboratories proved that a person reading a book developed very much less mervous muscular tension with 100 footcandles of light than with one footcandle. Much nervous tension and
wasted energy result from working in poor light. Many cases of headache and i n are now known to. result from eyestrain due to inade guate and improper lighting. The idea that every pair of eyes requires the same amount of light. . The fact is that children and old people need more light than average adults. The child’s eyes are not fully developed until he is seven years of age or older. When he is learning to read, he must lock at each letter or
word, whereas an adult reads whole | "Light on a shaded porch, same day:
phrases or sentences at a glance. Older people need more light because the pupils of the eyes have become smaller with age; because sight has been dulled by use and abuse; and because parts of the eye have lost some of their strength and flexibility.

Actually there may be almost as nnk glare indoors as out. Glare from bare bulbs, for example. What we do not realize is that this indoor glare is very hard on our eyesand nerves and mind.

At home, though you may not be so conscious of it, the effect of glaring light from a bare bulb is also bad for your eyes. "Yet it is easy to have good lighting without glare.
