JOHN HKH.MT.
Two things he had for which we
envied him:
An unknown mint ol money in the
bunk.
And in his fardcn, like a paradigm
Of opulence, the fattest thickest
rank
Of vegetables that care and applica
Could produce from one small pack
of seeds;
And si ion he had a mystic reputation
Of secrets with the soil beyond Ins
needs·
And for a .«ocrod fantasy ho had,
Though Gnd knows why In· did, with
all his wealth.
Ho peddled and displayed, like some
small lad,
The things that ho had raised, until
his health
Sent him away, and in his bank left
sheaves
Of legal notvs. and in his gr.rden.
wilted leaves.

When α Baby Begins
To See Things Clearly
Ry LOGAN CLENDEMNG, Μ. Γ).
• The newborn baby has ail eye
that is completely <1ιίΤ· η ntiated
into its various tissues and struc
tures at birth, but it doesn't know
how to use them. The size of the
Dr. Clendening will answer
questions of general inten st
only, and then only through
his column,
eye at birth is about 70'', that of
its final size.
The newborn eye is a short eve
and the lens is nearly spherical.
The fibers of the optic nerve are
only partly developed and they do
not become completely myelinized
until about the tenth veek, so
vision is not perfect unt'I thi n.
The normal infant avoids· exces
sive light, closes the eyes if a flash
Iifrht is turned into them. As early
a* the sixth day, however, its eyes
will follow a light in a room. It
follows a moving object h··!<! close
to the eyes, whether the object is
bright or not, at eight weeks.
At 28 weeks the baby should
ïecognize ite image in a mirror.
It has therefore learned the in
tricacies of binocular vision—the
ability to focus an ohiect with two
eyes and to turn the object right
side up in the brain. Of course, it
hasn't mastered all the intricacies
of this complicated function yet.
At forty weeks it pr.jnts at objects
it \Vants.
The pupil is small at birth, larg
est in childhood and adolescence
and gradually becomes smaller,
until in age, pupils are quite small.
The color of tire iris of the eye
is proportional to the pigment of
thi' nl of the body. Babies are
born with a lighter iris, in most
instnr ,·,·<. than what it will be
come .ι- time goes on. Most babies
are born with blue irie.
k TradWin of the «yês of youhg
b.^ij. s is comparable to that of
tej-nstrial animals in a state of
nature; the eye is adapted for
vision at Ions: distances with but
little capacity for focusing of near
objects. The newborn eye is ex
cessively short.
"We learn to see by seeing," ac
cording to an eminent oculist. The
number of children in an average
group who have 20/20 vision is
72 per cent at G years; 90 per cent
at 17 years. It is difficult to de
termine refractive errors in child
hood, because the oculist is testing
a .number of functions.
The power of attention which is
itself complex is one of these.

Strike Settlement Show
Value Of Conciliation

By HENRY Λ VF. HILL
Raleigh, Oct. 9. Commissioner of
Labor Forrest H. Shu for ci was not
• n the least surprised, hut at the
ame time he was very proud to read
paragraph two of a story in vester
iay's prc-s regarding settlement of
ι vexing strike ·Ί : : ι it-ci workers i ··.
\sheville.
The paragraph, brief and to the
joint read:
"Frank Crane of tire State depart
ment ol labor wa credited with bo
ng responsible I'm' the settlement ol
he controversy."
Mr. Crane is the department's only
ilfieially designated eoneiliator He
ook up his duties im longer ago than
Vugust 1—-but already he has proved
ο the satisfactn m of his superiors
: he \ allie of a stale conciliation serv

Govern· h· J. M Broughton made
available some $6.000 or slightiy
nore from the emergency and con
ingent fund.
The Asheville mica workers strike
s, perhaps, the ··η 1 ν one for which
practically one hundred per cent cre
dit has been extended Mr. Cram.
but he has, in the lightly more thai;
two months nl his official tenure,
participated in negotiations ol 11. · ι '
a dozen striKes most of which ha\i
been settled.
The Ashev ille walkout was a par

tor because feelings appear to ίπ\·.
been roused to lever pitch witu re
sultant frequent clashes in\ "h ing
pickets, non-strikers, the constabui
ary and even the reporters of Ashe
ville's newspapers.
The union (an AFL affiliate) had
lost a collective bargaining election
by a do. e vote: two workers had
been discharged, allegedly for their
union activities, and there were pre
sent all the inllamatory circu: -
stances which go to make up a first
class and riotous strike.
Settlement of the strike was im
portant, too, because most ot the
company's work at the present is
vitally concerned with national de
tense.
So that's the kind of strike that
Crane is credited with ending.
Other strikes in which he lias ac
tively intervened as a conciliator in
clude:
(.1) Walkout ol' Kernersvilie
hosiery workers. This strike has been
settled by an agreement which ap
pears to have suited both sides.
(2) Gaston silk mill strike. Crane
was on the grounds lor mediation 111
tins affair when he was called l<>
Asheville by the more important
mica strike. The mill is closed, has
lost many orders by concellation, and
there seems a good chance tnat tlu·
plant will stay closed.

Obviously Conciliator Crane has
not had time to allow any grass to
grow undei his leet: because in ad
dition to playing a leading role in
these halt do/en negotiations he has
Had the job of heading oil prospec
tive strikes in several cither plants
scattered over the state
Mr Shuford is vastly pleased with
the conciliation work and is not in
clined to press right now for addi
tional conciliator- With full knowl
edge that quite often Mr Crane has
had to leave one job unfinished in
order to take a hand in another, the
labor commi sionei feels that uni ]
conciliator can cover the field :ea
onably well undei existing condi
tions.
Apparently ine only very recent
strike to break out has not yet re
ceived attention from the state labor
department or its conciliator. That's
the walkout of some 15 girls, wait
resses in the coffee shop of a Win
ston Salem hotel.
These strikers are arter higher
wage- According to their contcn
:ion they get paid by the hotel $3.93
a week (after Social Security deduc
tions, etc., are made)- plus tips ul
course. They arc demanding a dol
lar a day as the hotel's wages.
Mr. Crane was an inspector for the
department of labor for about two
and a half years before being select
ed by Commissioner Shuford for the
conciliation post.
He came to the department from
H · State Employment Service in
1939.
