Special Dispatch to The Star. | DETROIT, September 14.—That bad eyesight has less to do with auto- mobile smash-ups than is_commonly f supposed ix the opinion of Dr. Harold D. Judd of this city, who has made |a study of one hundred serious auto- mobile accidents in Detroit_recently. The investigation was made in c operation with the city police depart- howed that there is all operation between heads rivers. refully studying the cases | | ’ | i | - | ment, o little - | considered it is quite obvious that the poor vision that causes accidents in Detroit is frequently above the eyes,” Dr. Judd reported. “‘A man with only 50 per cent visual efficiency and a 100 per cent mentality would make a more careful driver than the man with perfect eves and half mentality. Observation has also shown that the man with the perfect eyes and full intelligence is liable to be more care- less than the man who knows his eyesight is bad, but who is mentally normal.” Ingenious Tests Devised. In order to find out just how much vision did have to do with the one hundred bad accidents studied, Dr. Judd devised an ingenious method of testing both the eyes and the mental acuteness of the Arivers at the same time. The subject was seated before a screen, and instructed to tell what he saw and what action he would take as soon as he was sure of what he saw. A lantern slide with . the word “Stop” was illuminated and projected onto the screen. The image was too small to be seen at first, but was grad- ually increased in size until the sub- Jject responded. The quicknes of the response was the measure of his men- ment, He Adds. | tal alertness as well as of the sharp- ness of his evesight. The use of the slide was based on the theory, Dr. Judd said, that objects are really recognized by their form long before they reach the size at which they are actually distinguished. Color Test Also Made. A color test was also made. Red, orange, green and blue, all of which are colors.used on automatic sema- phores for directing the traffic in De- troit, were thrown in turn on the screen and the subject had to state what he would do if he saw the color, stob or proceed. The tests were made with great care and when the men- tality of the subject was known to be below normal, that was taken into consideration. Out of the one hundred cases stud- ied, there were only five which Dr. Judd found were unquestionably due to poor evesight. There were also two doubtful cases which may have fallen into that class. In all of the hundred cases studied the accident was serfous and in 93 of them death or injury had resulted. . SEEKS STORE OF GOLD.
