Health— Tilting of Head Is a Sign of

|Eye Trouble

By JANE STAFFORD

Science Service Writer THE CHILD WHO has a habit of tilting his head or turning it to one side when looking at something may be having eye trouble. He should be taken to an eye doctor to find out. Tilting or turning of the head is one sign of eye muscle defect, Dr. Isadore Givner of New York points

out in a report issuel by the National Society for the Prevention of Blindness in the Sight Saving Review. : Weakness of the muscles that help the eyes work together, so that % single image is seen, is one cause of crossed eyes. If some muscle is weak, causing a separation of the images of the two eyes instead of their fusion, the head will be tilted or turned in the position which more nearly fuses the images. Another sign of eye trouble which Dr. Givner says parents should watch out for is an oceasional turning of the eye inward. This may show only when the child is tired or has been using his eyes or has had some acute illness. But it is at this early stage that most correction of a crossed eye can be done without an operation, Dr. Givner says. 2 ” » BABIES USUALLY do not fix their eyes on an object until they are 6 weeks old. Their two eyes do not always work together, or co-ordinate, until the third month or later.

After this, Dr. Givner says, the eyes should always appear straight for near or distant seeing. The young child’s eyes may appear to be nearer together than they should be because the bridge of his nose is undeveloped. But you can tell this is an illusion by merely lifting the skin over the bridge of the nose. It is a mistake, Dr. Givner warns, to think that crossed eyes will straighten themselves if left. alone. Occasionally a child or youth with crossed eyes will lose this abnormality as he grows older, but it is “at the terrific cost of the loss of vision of one eye.” What happens is that the eye which turns in is used less and less and its power to see is gradually reduced. ' Since blind eyes have a tendency to turn out, Dr. Givner explains, this tendency causes the crossed eye to assume a normal appearance, the result being often a straight, normal appearance of an eye which actually is blind.

A Fashion ‘First’:

| The Black Blouse

Every now and then a fashion comes along which one word truly fits—smart. Many fashions claim it, all strive for it and a very few are born with it. Such is the black blouse—worn everywhere, with everything and always carrying with it the indefinable, unmistakable stamp of chic. If you go in for its smartness, be sure to pick a quality one so that its blackness doesn’t turn

to a dismal gray after a time.

Times Special BOWMAN FIELD, Ky., March 19. —Stalwart? She’s that! Going ° into action? Sure, at the fronts. - And a womanly woman? One of the most. She’s the new U. 8, army air evacuation unit girl. You heard of her lately from Guadalcanal — she was the first woman to, land there— and youll hear more of her : from Africa or Europe or Lieut. Entrekin wherever the Yanks’ advance patrol turns up next. Quite typical of her is Gladys Entrekin. A while ago she was . minding babies and talking to celebs on the stratoliners. Pretty soon she’ll be picking up wounded men and feeding them oxygen as they whisk back to a base hospital by flying ambulance, For such hazardous duty, all trainees must be volunteers. All of them are registered nurses. Most, like Miss Entrekin, have many years of specialized flying

experience behind them. She was

one of the first TWA hostesses to join. the dramatic new air outfit, just as, in 1935, she was one of the first airline hostesses to be trained for service on big transcontinental passenger planes. She comes from Coatesville, Pa., and is a graduate of Protestant-Epis-copal hospital, Philadelphia. She became system chief hostess of TWA. “I iike flying,” she says, “and I wanted to be in a branch of the sefvice where my airline experience could ,be of greatest value to the war effort.” Here at Bowman field, the nation’s chief center for air evacu-

ation work, she is learning mili-

tary and medical can-do for duty ‘in far-off places. Because she must be ready to cope with emergencies anywhere in this global war, she studies Arcfic hygiene ahd medicine as well as tropical maladies like dengue fever, yaws,. and filariasis. Besides general aero-medical physiology and aeromedical nursing, she has to know special military techniques such as hew to classify men for air evacuation, how to load a hospital ship, and what to do in a crash.

Official AAF photo.

Here’s how members of the army’s new air evacuation unit's “angels of mercy” will travel and work between battlegrounds and base hospitals. The photo shows one of the big hospital planes, loaded with casualties who are being cared for by an air evacuation nurse assisted by a medical staff-sergeant,

In spare time she practices gas drills, slims her body down, hardens it in rigid daily calisthenics, and tries on the steel helmet and , gas mask which pack ‘into her “trousseau” when she goes out as a second lieutenant. ; She’ll be part of an individual

unit including male medical aids with staff sergeant rating. They’ll be assigned to a troop carrier plane that will travel in “flights” of four or five or more if the situation requires it. The squadrons carry 30 or more casualties. Each ship carries military ‘and medical supplies—guns, food, medicines— and it can be converted into a flying ambulance in a matter of seconds. Litters are snapped into place on both sides of the ship in tiers of three. Oxygen equipment and an ambulance chest are standard equipment. : Once the plane lands and gathers up its evacuees, the unit ag-

route to a base hospital. Miss Entrekin may have 40 or more patients to look after. She will apply splints, give sedatives and stimulants, treat shock, stop hemorrhages.

There is one young woman in charge ‘of those §000 woraen. Her experience before. the war was that of personnel managér in a large London. store. She is api to smile when asited with what major problems she has to contend. : Sanitary and washing facilities for railroad workers never have been especially good. women are working for the railroads as well as men, the problem is worse than ever. And there is'no spare material for building needed accommodations. She also tries to arrange schedules so the women can get off to do needed marketing as many of them are married, with children,

Marketing Problem

Throughout my recent industrial tour of English and Scottish towns, the question of marketing loomed large. Most absenteeism can be traced to shopping difficulties. One big factory in North Scotland has solved the problem and absentesism has dropped to a Traction ‘of 1.per cent. Each raorning the wore wotkers hand their shopping lists to one of the “inside shoppers.” . There are three of them. They can also: give her shoes to be repaired, laundry ‘to be done; or a request to buy:that blue felt hat, with the red flowers, in Smith’s store, Five “outside shoppers” go out in a factory truck. make the purchases and return. The inside shoppers sort out the purchases and put them in the baskets Which are waiting for the women at the end of the day. Thus, interminable standing in dine for meat, fish and other rations, is eliminated and the household side of the woman war workers’ job is considerably lightened.

‘World Peace Depends Upon

Forgiveness’

By MRS. WALTER FERGUSON © Times Special Writer 8

“THERE MUST BE .no ‘bitter= ness in the reconstruction world. No matter what we have suffered, we must try to forgive those who

|injured us and remember only the

lessons learned

| chiang Kai-shek.

‘That she is able to express them is a good omen for the. future, for we know that hate let loose will only recreate the same old evil world out of which we are painfully floundering now. It’s so easy to hate—and so hard to forgive. For that reason the great men and ‘women of the earth have always been disciplined to forbearance. They are + distinguished by their ability to pardon human error; to practice mercy rather than revenge, Small souls have room only for hate, and. their owners invariably become the mis-chief-makers of the globe, ”® » 2

TODAY THE doctrine .of vengeance spreads. Tales trickling. hack from the fighting fronts lead us to believe that our soldiers aré sub-

jected to propaganda designed’ to -lincrease their barbaric emotions, k even while they are in a situation

which would naturally foster them. Some say, and it may be true, that hate is the most powerful weapon for making war--yet our ‘common sense tells us it will not be .adequate for building a peace structure, which is the supreme goal. of our war effort. Clearly, then, it is not idealism, but gumption, which prompts us to believe there is wisdom in Mme. Chiang’s formula. We dare not silence the voices of those who cry her message to us, for if we do we shall be making broad the way for another and a worse war. There is a very practical side to Christian doctrines—cry them down as ‘you will. One frail, dauntless woman, daughter of an alien race, product of a civilization far older than ours, speaks to us with the tongue of angels. If, after her ordeals she can preach forgiveness, surely we can afford to listen to her advice,
