BEFORE some nincompoop asked me if I had & dominant eye, ocular problems were nil. The orbs functioned and that was plenty’ good enough for me, You might as well get riled too. Do yqu have a dominant eye? Better be finding out which eye is the leader, which one you depend on, use more, “The dominant eye is significantly related to various characteristics c¢f human behavior,” the pocket-edition Neo-ophthalmologist said, trying desperately to hide the pamphlet he had been memorizing. ‘ LE AS USUAL, when an “expert” sets up clinic, the only two courses open are flight or : attention.” I would have chosen flight, in this instence, if he hadn't buried his claws in my lapels Blinking one jaundiced eye, the man began his lecture. “You don’t know about dominant eyes, for crying out loud? Wouldn't it be shocking to find out that you are on the same level with the apes and monkeys? Every guy should know about the dominant eye. The human body won't function, you know, work, harmoniously unless one side of the brain is boss.” ’ 2 gt.

JUST THEN, being on the same level with the ape, the size of Bushman, would have been highly desirable. We - could have saved . each other a bit of trouble and the “anthropoid,” since he suffers no compunction from simple acts of violence, could have taken a chance at punching a dominant eye. You'd need only two tries to be sure. In slightly less time than- it takes to recite Longfellow’s “Evangeline,” I was led to believe that 60 per cent of the people T meet have dominant right eyes, 25 per cent have dominant left eves and 15 per cent have switthed dominance,

“WHY THE percentages for people I meet?" Didn't add up. “Are they different for people you meet?” The percentages were ‘an approximation A person isn't born with a dominant eye. It gets that way when the owner puts the thing to work. A right-handed person usually has a dominant right.eye. If he's left-handed, the left eye becomes strongest—and, friend, it’s dangerous to mix them up. :

It Happe By Earl Wilson

NEW YORK, Feb. 11—As part of my chore of covering Broadway; I've been hanging out lately with ball players—who are better actors than actors. » You should catch Leo Durocher and Casey Stengel in their dinner jackets making speeches, Durocher’s now a good, polished speaker. Stengel’s good, but nobody can call him polished. I took a couple nights off from covering the hams of the stage to observe them. Tuesday night, I heard Stengel telling’ the Sports Broadcasters of his playing days and his battles with umpires. “This young man,” said the fhanager of the world’s champion Yankees, naming one umpire, “ig gonna give me some information at first base. “He's a very good man on rules. I don’t say he’s good on decisions, but on rules he’s good.” So “this young man,” and other umpires. for whom Casey seemed to cherish the same low regard, ordered Casey not to run in from the field to protest a decision. “So I turned around backwards and walked in backwards,” said Casey. Naturally, this didn’t attract a bit of attention, and Casey soon was in trouble, and eventually was fined $100. * “I'll show you how slick I was in those days,” continued Casey. “I said, ‘They’ll never get that. money.” So 1 went over to Brooklyn and enlisted in the service.”

. ». He got out of the $100 fine, all right, and also

his year’s salary. <> <@ oo CARDINAL SPELLMAN being at the dinner, some religious stories crept in. "Leo Durocher recalled that years back, when Pope Pius, then Cardinal Pacelli, visited St. Louis, they met. The then Cardinal asked Leo what he did. “I play baseball for the St. Louis Cardinals,” replied Leo. : “Cardinals—but of a different type,’ remarked the future Pope. Good as Casey and Leo were, many thought . with a touching recital about Korea . . . and then a one-sentence ad lib. Toastmaster Herbert Bayard Swope had intro.duced Herman Hickman as “undoubtedly the greatest coach Harvard has ever had at Yale.” Hickman proceeded to tell three fast, friendly Catholic stores. After the third, the Cardinal laughingly called over: “Don’t you know any Protestant stories?”

Americana By Robert C. Ruark

NEW YORK, Feb, 11—Every time I ‘start to snort at the self-excusing of the backslid Communists who have hit the sawdust trail and now shout Hosannah for the right, I have to jog my memory a little bit to a.time when the whole Commie concept was presented as a noble dream it -hasn’t-been-so-long,- either, since. it was highly fashionable among the young “thinkers” to frowr on fresh laundry in favor of OI’ Massa Marx. Back in. my tenderer time it seemed to me tha! half the. people.1 knew. in. college. were waving o copy of Kapital and cursing its America: equivalent in triple-syllabled words. The early trail blazers had the most succulent intellectual baits for their hooks. I can recall being slightly ashamed of the clodlike, personal dumbness which so afflicted me that,I wanted to work for myself and get-rich on my own effort. I. was 4oo stupid, I guess, to glom onto the basic sedition which wore the frock of liberalism and a lot of other isms.

attracted the little gimmitks of the capital haters.

. 'The big Russian revolution was a couple of years

away when Margaret Sanger published an earthtwister on sex, “What Every Girl Should Know” in 1916. But even her primer on natural function, as groundwork for her feverish pitch for birth control, carried its little economic lecture as a summation. I have here a little Haldeman-Julius blue book copy of Miss Sanger’s first exploration of the birdsies and the beeses. She winds up her early shocker with the following: “In completing ‘this discussion I cannot refrain from uttering just a word about the relation of the entire subject (sex) to the economic problem . .-, The more we look into the evils of the day the more we Tealize that the whole structure of present-day society is built upon a broken and decaying foundation.

You. Too, Can Have A Dominant Eye

QUOTE: Cerebral dominance may be upset by the unnatural dévelopment of either the hand or the eye.of the opposite side. Unquote. What you don't know never hurts you. However, my eyes, bloodshot though they be, are priceless, matchless, possessions, Nobody can talk about my eyes and get away with it. If you have ‘a dominant eve, I got a dominant eye. An eyeball specialift friend at General Hospital was happy to see me, He's always solicitous about my health. “Oh, no--not again—what now”? Quaint expressions, he uses, While Dr. Eyetest pulled his hair and chewed his nails, 1 told him all about the dominant eye, “Can you find which of my eyes is dominant?” o o- oo “I WAS AFRAID of that,” he groaned, playfully tapping the dominant part of my cranium, the point, with a mallet. Dr. Eyetest stuck a piece of stiff paper with a hole in the center before my eyes and told me to sight with both eyes a spot of light on the wall. He ordered me to close first one eye and then the other. When the right eye was closed, the light remained in the opening. When the left eye was closed, the light scooted to the left. “Left eye—dominant.” Hmmmm — I'm righthanded. Pale hands beneath the shining eye machine shook. > P “NOTHING to worry about,” the doctor said. “As long as the development was natural, everything is all right.” . = Natural? 1s it natural to walk close to buildings and look at girls to your left? Looking left has always been easier than looking right. I kept quiet. What I don’t know won't hurt me. The doc said a dominant eye is necessary because binocular (two eyes) vision is defective in that only the object upon which the eyes are focused is seen singly. One eye, therefore, has to take over the work. It's the dominant eye. S& @ ALSO, the dominant eye is more sensitive to light and strain and a person should be careful while driving at night. In firing a rifle for split-hair accuracy the dominant eye should do the sighting. A right-eyed person should shoot from the right shoulder, both eyes open and aim with the master eye. Children who are left-handed - shouldn't be forced to change.. Throws a kid for a loop. Blur the dominant eye in an adult by faulty lenses and the result is the same as putting a burr in a saddle. ! Don’t, above all, worry about a dominant eye. If you feel good, see good, keep up the good work. Take this advice from an ol’ worry-wart.

SHE STILL signed her name “Lilibet.” But before she was 11,

Britain's new Queen Elizabeth was emerging fast into womanhood. Lflibet was now. heir presumptive to the throne. It long had been evident that there would be no brother to displace her. She was receiving the edu-

cation of a prospective mon-.

arch. For some years her father the King had been showing her state papers, guiding her toward her destiny. : The great change had come on Dec. 11, 1936, when Edward VIII abdicated to marry “the woman I love.” wr People: recalled that he used to call Lilibet “Queen.” The Duke of York became King George VI. Gone were the happy days of the family pillow fights at bedtime. Gone were the simple homes. The family lived now in vast Buckingham Palace. & » y : “PEOPLE here need bicycles,” Lilibet said. Lilibet attended her father's coronation, her first great affair of state, with Margaret. They wore “their first long dresses. Motherly Lilibet watched Margaret anxiously as they drove to the five-hour ordeal. f “I do hope she won't disgrace us all by falling asleep in the middle, Crawfie,” Lilibet said to Miss Marion Crawford, their governess, who recalls the story in her book, “The Little Princesses.” When they got home, Lilibet said: . “She was wonderful, Crawfie. I only had to nudge hen once or twice when she playéd too loudly with the prayer books.” Lilibet joined the Girl Guides. She intensified her study of constitutional history. The King began to have long talks with her on world politics. The King and Queen visited the United States and Canada in the spring of 1939. The girls stayed at home. Queen Mary
