About three million school children
n the United States one-eighth of
the entire school popu:ation are hand
icapped by defective eyesight, accord
ing to Lewis H. Cat ris, managing di
rector of the National Society for
Prevention of Blindness. Forsight-
edness is the common visual defect.
Railroads in the United States op
erate the most extensive car terry
system in the world. Thev move mil
lion of tons of freight annually on
the ferries, and some ferries are in
the passenger service. The railroads
have more than 2.000 units of tloat
ing travel, employing an army of
marine workers.
More than one hundred babies have
been born in the Federal Govern
ment's .experimental farm colony at
Matanuska, Alaska, since that project
was launched in May, ll'lio. The
.(deny is composed largely of fami
lies moving from submarginal lands

August living costs were a tenth
of a per cent higher than in July this
year, the National Industrial Confer
ence Board's monthly survey indicates.
This was 4 per cent' higher-than in
August a yeat ago and 24 per cent
higher than the lowest depression level
of litli.'i- but stilt 12 per cent lower
than the boom month of August, K'2!'.
All living cost items except food rose
last month.
The amusement industry in the
United Suites, inow constituting a
billion-dollar business, promises to ex,
pand still further because of returned
prosperity and shorter working hours
that afford more leisure, according to
"The Index" of the New York Trust
Company. Internal Revenue receipts
on theater and other admissions show
ed, for the lOW fiscal year, an increase
of 1 1 per cent over the previous year,
and radio sales were up 40 per cent.
To combat a "growing prejudice"
against -employment of persons more
than 40 years old. the Foundation
for Americans of Mature Age, Inc.,
anonunces the inauguration of a cam
paign against "the tremendous and
tragic waste" resulting from "discard
ing the experience and training of ma
turity." Mrs. Agatha 1. Ward, of
Washington, I). C, as spokesman for
the Foundation in a statement an
nouncing its program voices belief
that increasing reluctance of employ
ers to hire workers past 40 has re
sulted partly from "such well-intentioned
legislation as workmen's com
pensation and social security measures'."
Executive budget-balancing efforts
are made more difficult, by the fact,
revealed by a Treasury check-up, that
the last session of Congress authorized
about a quarter billion more of expen
ditures that were contemplated in the
January and April budget forecasts.
Returning prosperity is being re
flected in a pick-up in the volume of
new life insurance policies issued.
The amount of new insurance written
during the first eight months of this
year was 7.2 per cent greater than for
the similar 1'.' period, according to
a report to the Department of Com
merce by the Association of Life In
surance Presidents. The August gain
over August, JI'-IS, was 5.2 per cent.
James M. MaiKathihd. ussigi.l by
the New York Times to cover the con
vention of 'the American Sunbathing
Association at Mays Landing, N. J
tells in Kditor and Publisher how he
hung all his clothes on a pine tree and
became one of the nudists. The Times
gave no orders or advice as to whether
he should be clothed or nude when
leixirtine; the convention. He made
his own choice.
He writes that he w;.s i tnbarrassi d
at first but soon became used to Lis
own and other' people's nudity.
Mat-Fat land had persuaded Rev.
llsley Bonne, head of the Sunbathing
Association, to admit him as the only
reporter at the convention, with the
understanding that be would pass on
information to other reporters. These
others hung around the camp en
trance ''and waited for him to come
out every now and then and tell them
what was going on.
. Later the nudist 'chief was persuad
ed to let all the reporters in. They
we're supposed to go in the nude, lull
since they had to have sumo place to
put their pencils ''and paper, a com
promise was reached am) they stripped
to the waist. A women reporter re
fused to shed her garments and an
exception was made in her case.
"A visitor at a nudist camp, " .writer
MacFarland. "whether he be clothed
or not, docs, not know quite what to
make of it all. For the first time in
his life rinds himself in a so-called
Paradise" where naked men, women
and children come and go as they
please, chat with each other, eat with
each other and act just as they would
in a conventional city home. When 1
ain asked what I think of the idea, 1
shrug my shoulders and reply '1 don't
know.' Somehow it doesn't seem pos
sible, but yet I can see that it is.
"It is no uncommon sitrht to see a
husband and wife walking through the
pine-studded colony with two or three
little children, tagging along behind
them. To an outsider it is an almost
incredible sight to behold an elderly
woman chatting with her lH-year-old
son who is basking himself right be
sides her. But at nudist camps the
people seem to regard this as nothing
at all..
"The delegates at the convention in
cluded men and women from all walks
of life lawyers, ministers,, doctors,
educators and business men all of
whom say they are definitely 'sold' on
the movement, They say that fat
bodies, ugly scars and hairy chests
are not repulsive to the true nudist,
for the true nudist does not think
aesthetically, ,
According to Dr. Elton R. Shaw of
Washington, retiring president of the
American Sunbathing Association and
former dean at Kansas Weslyan Uni
versity, the nudist membership in the
United States has growji in the past
ten years from a mere handful to well
over the 100,000 mark. And, he adds,
there are over two million, people' who
sympathise with 'the -nudist movement.
"The United States, to my mind, is
not ready for nudism. But the United
States was not. ready' for abbreviated
womens bathing suits 15 years ago.
Has nudism reached its highest
pe-ak? My answer, 'I haven't the
slightest idea.' "
Annually the Bureau of Fisheries
turns-' loose- thousands of fish with
metal tags attached reading "Reward

Washington. I). C. To enable the bu
reau to learn more about fish habits.
Government pays 25 cents for return
of the tag, and from 50 cents to $1
Spider Big Eater
The Worlri'S liiest eatei is thnnr
ilinary tiouse spider, nccohling to South
fJermati entomologists. It e-its . four
times its own weight for breakfast,
nine times its wt -ight- for lunch ami Y.i
times its weight for dinner. It thus
consume a minliurm of 2T times its
own weight every day in Insect meals.
To equal this ratitn Die average man
would have . to eat some 1 ',4 tons of
loo a day !
for additional information regarding
whereabouts and condition of the
taged fish when caught. Discourag
ing results in non-return of a large
proportion of the tags has led to
discovery that many fishermen, in
stead of claiming the modest rewards
offered, are preferring to convert the
tags into cuff links, which ir) form they
resemble.
