GREEN Editor of “HEALTH” (@®, 1926, Western Newspaper Union.) HAT Is the relation between a man's work and his vision? The United States public health service has just completed a ten years’ study with some interesting results. The workmen studied were taken from ten various occupations. They are pottery, post-office, glass, gas foundry, steel, chemical, cement, cigar and garment workers. In these ten lines thirty thousand workers were examined as to thelr eyes, ten thou sand men and twenty thousand women This number naturhlly included mec and women of all races and nation alities, yet no essential differences were found in the different races of normal and defective eyes. But when the different occupations were compared there were striking differences. The two groups which showed the highest percentage of de fective vision were the garment work Not only did the figures show a sur dividual work but also to the length of service In that particular line Normal vision in both eyes in the group of workers of less than five years' service varied from 24 per cent workers to 73 per cent among founders. But In persons whe had worked ten years and over, nor mal vision in the garment industry 22 per cent, or 2 per cent foundries only 65 per cent after ten years’ service Instead of 78 after five years' work. Age naturally had a marked influ | ence. Taking all the thirty thousand | i years old had normal vision. That is | about the percentage would ex- | pect from any large group of young people. In persons from ~ thirty to | forty years old, 8 per cent had nor | mal vision. In farty forty-four, only 40.5 per cent had nor mal eyes. From fifty to fifty-four, the normal eyes had gone down to 22 per cent, while of those over sixty years of age there were only 5.5 per cent who had normal vision in both eyes. This tabulation shows as graphical ly as any figures that have ever been compiled the wear and tear of present day Industry on vision. A point which was that in most industries, one good eye was nearly as good for practical purposes as two. Many workers with normal vision In were entirely unaware that only eye was of any use to them. one "mM ’ i from 10 those curlous developed only one eye LONG RANGE WEATHER FORECASTING IVILIZED man has learned to do much to control his surroundings. He seems almost independent of out side conditions. But one thing he as yet can neither foresee nor control the weather, As Mark Twain sald, In one of his after-dinner speeches, “Everybody talks about it but nobody does anything" Yet the weather Is what determines | our crops and our food. Apparently, it Is the one thing man cannot fore see or control, Our weather bureau | can now forecast the weather with fair accuracy for a day or two in ad vance, but cannot alter it in any way That, at least, is some advance. A hurricane, telling | At least, But giving a At a convention of the National league of Commission Merchants of America at New York recently, Mr. Herbert J. Browne of Washington de. livered an address on “Long-Range Weather Forecasting,” In which he claimed that, by careful study, it might soon be possible te forecast weather conditions, not only days but years ahead. This new field Is only about five years old. Up to that time, 38 hours was the weather bureau's limit. Mr. that weather conditions, the gbsorbed by the ocean. In a desert, the sand is very hot by day but rap- idly cools off when the sun sets so that one needs a blanket to sleep at night. But water absorbs heat slowly and gives it off just as slowly. The ocean In the troples absorbs heat from the tropical sun and the heated water causes the great ocean streams like the Gulf stream which then control climate and weather, What determines the amount of heat which the Gulf stream absorbs? Sun heat. What controls the amount of the sun's heat? Sun spots. And these, says Mr. Browne, run in cycles, 80 ‘the observer can accurately pre. dict weather months and years in ad: vance. Larrobelle was crowned champion grade Holstein cow at the recent Na- tional Dalry show at Detroit, This cow was purchased four years ago by James E. Larrowe of Detroit, for ex- perimental purposes on his research farm. She then weighed but 085 pounds. She was bullt up by proper feeding to weigh 1,200, her weight when she won the title of champlon In her class. In the last year she pro- duced 13,082 pounds of milk and in the four years on the farm her record was 47572 pounds.

They do not relish being shut up and on that ae count often fall to relish their rations. Miss Cooke says they can be coaxed along by frequent grain feedings and by the serving of a moist mash once a day.

From now on there will be less fresh air In most cow stables than there ought to be. The stables themselves will be somewhat more difficult to keep clean and the cows, unless specially groomed and otherwise cared for, will become considerably solled. Regardiess of all this it still is possible to keep the stable taint out of milk. Perhaps the most certaln method to adopt toward this end is to keep the shipping can into which the milk pails are emptied standing outside the milk- ing stable during the milking period This makes a little more work and for be a milking stable in winter is about the taint to milk.
