JATERWAL DEATHS LAD T0 DRING : = | Mrs. Boole Addresses 2,000 MARCO '006:& CAT Foop | of W. C. T. U. as Con- vention Opens. Mrs. Ella A. Boole, president of the World Woman's Christian Temperance Union, told 2,000 members assembled in convention at Constitution Hall | today that steadily increasing drinking among women is the “one great cause of maternal death.” To the delegates to the sixteenth | triennial meeting of the world or- ganization, waving the fans in the sweltering hall, she urged scientific | study to cope with the problem. “Many organizations are promoting | child welfare,” she said. “These must | deal both with heredity and environ- | ment. Any study that ignores the pre- natal effects of alcohol on children born of drinking parents, or the effect on the environment of the child is in- complete, and so fails to accomplish its purpose. As social drinking has in- creased, this should be a matter of | grave concern to all lovers of the race.” | Children, toward whom the tem- | perance organization has directed the greatest force of its five-year program of educating the public on the affects of alcohol, were discussed by Mrs. | Boole in the light of juvenile crimes | ccmmitted while under the influence of liquor, and as the child as affect- | ed by the intemperance of its parents Delegates From 36 Countries, | The audience at this morning’s ses- | sion—first in the six-day convention— contained visitors and delegates from 36 countries, including Egypt, China, Costa Rica, Esthonia, Finland, Guate- | mala, India, Japan, Newfoundland, | Siam, Uruguay, and all the other | larger nations. Visitors to the con- | vention, numbering about 1,800, pay | $2 each for the privilege of attending all open sessions. | i The official opening of the session | was followed by two songs, in which | the entire audience took part; mass | recitation of the Crusade Psalm and | the roll call of ex-officio members. The Executive Committee, which met ning and evening sessions at the Washington Hotel yesterday, was | to make its report, following which | the consideration of amendments to the constitution, appointment of com- mittees and the announcement of members of the Nominating Com- mittee were to be taken up. To Review Activities. Miss Agnes E. Slack of England and Mrs. W. T. G. Brown of Canada were | to present a review of activities from | 1934, time of the last triennial con- | vention, until the present | Included in this afternoon’s pro- | gram will be ceremonies at Statuary Hall, where a wreath containing ever= green sprays from more than a score of the countries represented at the convention will be placed on the| statue of Frances Willard, founder in 1884 of the World Union of the W C.

U. representative in Central America, will address the gathering. Also the following delegates will be presented: Mrs. Sporri of Austria, | Mrs. H. C.

HENRY, Diseases of the eyes znd a surgical operation to cure squint cyes were described yesterday before opthal- mologists from all over the United States attending the graduate clinic at George Washington Medical School. "The diagnosis and treatment of an eye malady, aniseikonia, were detailed by Dr. Walter B. Lancaster of Boston, & pioneer in this fleld of opthal- mology. Aniseikonia occurs where one eye sees an object larger than the other eyve. A subconscious effort is neces- sary to fuse the dual images, with the result that there is eye-strain and all its attendant troubles. The reti- nas of both eyes, Dr. Lancaster said, are normal but different in victims of this eye malady. Light falls on points in the retina known as the rods and cones. At each of these points it sets up a chem- ical reaction, which, in turn, starts an electrical impulse to the back of the brain, where the center of vision is located. The fact that normally one does not see double is due, in part, to the fact that the pattern of the rods and cones in one retina is al- most exactly complimentary to the pattern in the other retina, so that the two images blend together in the brain. Adjustment Is Necessary. If there is any notable difference in these patterns, the eyes have to be | adjusted to bring them into compli- mentary relationship to each other. A frequent mix-up is when one eye is shghtly far-sighted and the other slightly near-sighted. Victims of pronounced cases of aniseikonia, Dr. Lancaster said, some- times see queer things, such as double images. Such a plane surface as a lawn or the surface of the ocean may appear tilted and automobile rides or boat trips become intensely disagree- able. The difficulty may be overcome, he said, by wearing a special form of glasses. W mrflut match of the season —crisp, delicious Shredded Wheat with fresh fruits or | berries.

Chalmers Jameson of Brooklyn. It consists in detaching the muscles of the eyeballs, rotating the eyes back to the proper position, and then sewing the muscles back on again. Thus the movements of the eye are not affected. ‘The operation was applicable, it was explained, to about 80 per cent of cases of crossed eyes. The other 20 per cent are best dealt with by other methods. The surgery is extremely delicate, since the operator only has a space of about one-twenty-fifth of an inch in which to work. With the surgical and other methods recently developed, it was stressed, it is no longer necessary for a person going through life with crossed eyes. Treat- ment in early childhood was urged both because the condition has not become so aggravated and because of the psychological effect on children of being perpetually “kidded” by their playmates. Nero Wore Glasses at Games. Nero probably was the first man to wear glasses, Dr. Edward Jackson of Denver told the opthalmologists. It is recorded, he said, that the Em- peror had lenses made for him with which he watched the performances of the gladiators and was able to enjoy in more excruciating details | the sufferings of Christians being torn I to bits by the lions. | As near as can be determined, Dr. similar to now provided for short-sighted per= sons. Something similar was prob- ably used by other wealthy Roman | sportsmen. Actually, Dr. Jackson | stressed, the Romans had no true | conception of the science of optics, | and the celebrated medieval mcnk,i Roger Bacon, must be credited with discovery of the principle of spec- tacles. For his writings on this sub- ject, in which he dared suggest that man might improve on the handi- work of the Lord, he was driven intc | exile. Old folks owe their »sifocal glasses, which they can use both for ordinary | fon and close reading, Dr. Jackson said, to the ingenuity of Benjamin Franklin, While. there have, been notable changes in design and much finer adjustments, it was explained, the fundamental principles of spec- tacles have changed little. The opthalmologists are devoting to- day to clinical demonstrations at the George Washington Medical School and a visit to Walter Reed Hospital, where some of the notable cases of eye wounds will be shown and discussed.
