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 Daily Dispatch Bureau. In (hi* sir* Walter tlotcL 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 ce a unit authorized by the 1941 General A-.-emb!y, but which coiilo not be set up for lack of fund- unt.l Govern· h· J.

The Ashev ille walkout was a par ticularly tough nut for the concilia 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.

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. Resolutions Ir.ltroduced Immediately (Continued From Pate One) ι nu or permit the arming of Aincr .iaη merchantmen.
