ernment. and apparently American
labor and farmers have had little to
do with thef building up of such a
party so ardently embraced by radical
groups throughout *lhe country.’’
The American system is all right.
Mrs. Sisson said, adding:
’’There are siren voices crying out
with panaceas to correct our economic
ills. Because those intrusted with the
responsibility of government too often
fail in the proper enforcement of laws
of regulation and restraint, these
voices demand a change of system.
"In the name of efficiency they ask
the American people to give up their
freedom, forgetting that freedom in
citizenship is far more important than
efficiency in government, and that the
regimented efficiency of either Social
ism or Fascism inevitably leads to dic
tatorship of either one man or a
minority group."
In reporting on the Americanism
committee at the morning session. Mrs.
Horace M. Jones, chairman, empha
sized the Americanism work done to
counteract the "alarming growth of
juvenile delinquency.” In addition to
giving good citizenship prizes and
American flags, playgrounds and rec
reation centers were built through the
efforts of the D. A. R.. she said, and
members attended sessions of juvenile
courts, following up cases and guiding
delinquents away from criminal asso
ciates.
Miss Ruth Bradley Sheldon, chair
man of the Caroline E. Holt Scholar
ship Fund Committee, reported on the
$20,000 fund which gives to worthy
Philippine girls post-graduate study
in the United States in nursing,
hygiene and public welfare service.
The fund was inaugurated by the
Philippines Chapter, which celebrates
its 25th anniversary this year.
Other reports given during the
morning included those on the D. A.
R. Magazine, read by Mrs. Frances
Parkinson Keyes, editor: building and

Mack Williams of the Boys' Broth
erhood Republic of New York, speak
ing at the morning session, urged the
delegates to give youth the cause of
democracy to champion.
Would Teach Democracy.
“If the dictators can teach their
youth 'isms.' why can’t we teach ours
democracy?'' he demanded.
Declaring that never before in his
tory has youth been the object of so
much "demagogic solicitation and de
structive Influences" as it is today,
Mr. Williams said that the heroes of
democracy are found only in history
books, whereas the 1938 heroes, the
dictators, are in the news every day.
"If youth s conception of democracy
is faulty," he said, “the young people
will fall for the new heroes,”
He described the Boys' Brotherhood

Trouble May Be Caused by
Special Sensitivities,
Specialists Told.
Recurrent eyestrain headaches. In
flamed, teary and sore eyes, and eye
symptoms simulating those of tuber
culosis and brain tumor may be due to
special sensitivities to foods, dusts or
drugs, Dr. A. D. Ruedemann of Cleve
land told a post-graduate session of
eye doctors from all over the United
States at George Washington Uni
versity School of Medicine this morn
ing.
These optioal allergies, Dr. Ruede
mann said, are unknown to the great
majority of physicians. Glasses may
be prescribed for headaches, and do
no good, while eliminating one article
from the diet might cause a cure. The
watery eyes of hay-fever victims, he
stressed, are often considered as a
secondary result of a special sensitiv
ity of the membranes of the nose
which alone are treated, but actually
result from a sensitivity of the eye
itself.
Chocolate, he said, often Is the agent
of these eye allergies. A child may j
show up with badly inflamed eyes
every Easter and Christmas. Persons
often are sensitive to the orris root i
powder in face powders and even when
this is determined a girl may have a
recurrence of the trouble once she
used some other girl’s powder puff. I
He told of one man In whom a serious 1
and apparently chronic eye condition
was cleared up as soon as he stopped !
sleeping on a feather pillow. Another !
man must visit the oculist every time
he rides horseback, being sentitive to
horse dandruff for which he cannot
be desensitised.
Medicine Sometimes Bad.
The violent periodic headaches
known as migraine, he said, are more
frequently due to some special sen- j
sitivity than to any disfunctioning of
the eye itself. Sometimes eye doc
tors, he said, make conditions much
worse by treating the eye with medi
cines because the person is especially
sensitive to the very drug which is
being used. He told of one case where \
a hot compr^s placed over an in- \
flamed eye made the condition worse ;
and it was found the person was espe
cially sensitive to contact with cotton.
While allergies which show up in
the eye are not common, he stressed,
they must always be considered where
the physical cause of eye troubles is
not obvious, and if the offending ma
terial can be found remarkable results
may be obtained by getting the patient
out of contact with it.
Allergies may show up in a little
suspected way through failure of the
system to take up vitamin A and other
vitamins In the food. One of the es
sential Jobs of vitamin A—contained
in carrots, milk, butter and fish oils—
in the diet is to build up in the retina
of the eye the substance known as
visual purple, whose breakdown when
light falls upon it is one of the pri
mary steps in setting up the visual
impulses to the brain. One result of
lack of this vitamin is a condition
known as night blindness, or insensi
tivity to dim light.
Sensitivity Measured.
Measurement of this sensitivity by
means of an instrument known as the
bio-photometer is now frequent to de
termine whether there actually is a
vitamin A deficiency. Contrary to the
common belief. Dr. Ruedemann said,
this deficiency is very rare in children
and young adults. These have such
voracious appetites that they usually
eat such quantities of food in general
that they get enough of the precious
substance.
From 40 on, he said, this and other
vitamin deficiency conditions show up
in •'terrific amounts.” For one thing,
he stressed, persons of about 40 begin
to get fat and deliberately to cut down
on the amount of food.
Besides, he said, they get “picky
and choosy” and deliberately avoid
such food as milk and carrots. Above
60, when the appetite is failing any
way and a person thinks the little ne
does eat should be what he likes, Dr.
Ruedemann said, the vitamin A de
ficiency may run as high as 85 per
cent of all persons tested with the bio
photometer.
The condition usually can be rem
edied, he said, with heavy doses of
various fish oils. Sometimes they are
not improved by the foods containing
the vitamin because the digestive sys
tem, perhaps due to some allergy,
cannot extract the substance. It may
be allergic in Itself. This is quite
often the case with milk. Sometim-s
there may be an allergy to the fish
liver oils, in which case the condition
may be remedied through concen
trates.

EARLE’S INCOME
IS FOEHARGEI
Charge Governor Got Loan
From Beneficiary of
State Contracts.
By the Associated Press.
HARRISBURG, Pa., April 20.—Re
publican and insurgent Democratic
forces in Pennsylvania’s complex pri
mary fight trained their political guns
today on the private Income of New
Deal Gov. George H. Earle.
Gov. Earle, the Commonwealth's first
Democratic chief executive in 40 years.,
is seeking the nomination for United
States Senator on a ticket indorsed by
the State Committee and including
Charles Alvin Jones, Pittsburgh attor*
ney, for Governor.
The Governor’s private income be
came a campaign issue when Mayor
S. Davis Wilson of Philadelphia
charged that Gov. Earle borrowed
$30,000 from a contractor-politician
who later obtained $9,000,000 worth of
contracts in the State's $65,000,000 in
stitutional improvement program.
Mayor Wilson, elected mayor of the
Nation’s third largest city as a Repub
lican, is opposing Gov. Earle for the
senatorial nomination on a ticket
backed by the C. I. O. and United
States Senator Joseph F. Guffey.
Gov. Earle replied he borrowed
money from Matthew H. McCloskey,
co-leader of the Democratic party in
Philadelphia, but declared he had re
paid all but $6,000. He insisted the
loans had no significance because they
were made “prior to the time when it
was within any possible contemplation
that he (Mr. McCloskey) ever would
be the recipient of any State contract.”
G. Edward Green, chairman of the
Republican State Committee, followed
up Mayor Wilson s charges with a de
mand that Gov. Earle “resign at once”
or be impeached.
