MATERNAL DEATHS
LAID TO DRINKING
Mrs. Boole Addresses 2,000
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
committed 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.
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
in morning 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. T. U. Miss Slack will make
the memorial address at these cere
monies.
The Loyal Temperance Legion will
make its report this afternoon and
Mrs. Mary B. Egbert, World's W. C.
T. U. representative in Central
America, will address the gathering.
Also the following delegates will be
presented; Mrs. Sporri of Austria.
Mrs. H. C. Herbert of Australia and
Mrs. E. H. Pruden of China.
Tonight's program, to begin at 8
o'clock, will include the reading of
a mesasge to the convention, written
by President Roosevelt and read by
Secretary of State Hull.
Eyes'1 Disease Forces Focus
Of 2 Image Sizes on Retinas
G. W. U, Graduate Clinic Also Hears
Details of Surgical Operation to
Trent Squint Condition,
BY THOMAS R. HENRY.
Diseases of the eyes and a surgical
operation to cure squint eyes 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,
a pioneer in this field of opthal
mology.
Aniseikonia occurs where one eye
sees an object larger than the other
eye. 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 slightly 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.
The squint-eye operation was de
scribed by Dr. F. Chalmers Jameson i
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
to bits by the lions.
As near as can be determined, Dr.
Jackson said, these glasses were very
similar to the spectacle which are
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 monk,
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 into
exile.
Old folks owe their oifocal glasses,
which they can use both for ordinary
vision and close reading. Dr. Jackson

“The Champagne oj | ginger tAles”
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.
