unfortunate fact that we follow in
the train of our two-listed forebears
in small details as well as large.
The old cave man was intensely
suspicious of his neighbors. So are
we—or why our standing armies
and nsvies?
The old caveman believed in tak-
ing what he could get for himself in
the quickest way possible. So do we.
only we invent nice words like “en-
lightened self interest," "healthy
business rivalry" and "looking out
for number one" to conceal it.
The cave man hated those who
did not conform to his own tribal
taboos and creeds. So. it is almost
needless to add, do mosli‘M us.
The cave man refused to worry
about the future so long as he had
plenty to eat 'and a comfortable
place to sleep. And that is one of
our lamentable characteristics. too.
Up until recently it hasn't mat-
tered so very much. Mankind stum-
bled along much as the cave man
did. and got along fairly well. too.
But the earth is beginning to
move just a little faster.
It's the scientist who has done it.
With astounding rapidity he has
gone ahead with the job of lighten-
ing the average man's load of toll
and suffering and hunger and pov-
erty. In the very near future it is
possible that new discoveries will
make the length of the average
man‘s life a full century, and the
length of his working day a scant
two or three hours.
This will come. sooner or later.
The scientists are fairly on the trail.
But when it comes will we be
ready to take it and make the most
of it? Will we be able to discard our
hates and suspicions and greed and
fears and pettlnesses?

of the eyes which is widespread in
a number of the states of the Union.
This disease is as old as history it-
self, but its coutugiousm-ss has hem
recognized only in modern times.
Now. no immigrant who shows avi-
dencc of being infected with tra-
choma is allowed to cater the coun~
try.
Many states have [well active in
attempting to control this disease by
passing laws and regulations. How-l
ever. before our present regulations
were adopted and effort made to en-
force them, trachomrt gained a foot-
hold ill some of our more remote
communities and has remained pre-
valent for years. The disease is Very
common among American Indians.
We do not know what‘ specific or-
ganism causes bedroom, but that
some organism is responsible for its
spread through a family or through
it group of persons who are thrown
closely together.
it would appear that all persons of
all ages are susceptible to trachoma.
We know also something about‘thc
ways in which tracllomu. is trans-
mitted. The discharges from eyes
infected with trachoma are conta-
gious and the disease apparently can
be transferred on the fingers and by
articles such as handkerchiefs, tow.
els and wash-basins. as they become
soiled with discharges. Those who
have made a study of the disease
in localities whore it prevails. have
come to regard the ommon towel
as one of the' minimal agents in
transmission.
A pronounced case of trachoma is
not difficult to recognize. An af-
fected person usually experiences
smartlng, hot eyes. very much as if
some foreign body had been caught
under the lid. The disease develops
slowly in the membrane lining of the

The task of controlling and pre.
