Eyesight Specialist THE EYES IN MODERN LIFE Copyright 1927 PART 18 Because of many misfits who started life handicapped, being forced down rather than up the ladder. If you are only partly efficient you are your own worst enemy. Poor vision weakens your will power, making you less am- bitious and much nerve energy is wasted that could otherwise be put to some profitable use. The past few pages have covered causes which might be considered neglect and delay. I omitted to men- tion glare as one thing that tends to- ward creating; even this also may be governed by neglect because after all if the proper correction is worn much glare could be eliminated or if proper lighting conditions were in use much of the intolerance of light and photo- phobic condition would not exist. Glare is known by the effect that light has in the eyes becoming subject to it. It may be considered impossible in some ways to measure because of its greater effect on some eyes than others. Its chief ill effects are photo- phobia, eyestrain and the attendant irritation laying the eyes open to in- fection and disease. (to be continued.) HORSESHOE CHAMPIONSHIPS AT THE ROYAL WINTER FAIR Horseshoe pitching is one of the minor Canadian "industries" that is not worried by economic conditions and doesn't know the meaning of that funny term "depression." It is going stronger, doing a brisker, ding-dong business even than in the boom year of 1929.

' I was 18 when I first went into the mills, iad worked around 3 heat before; where the heat of a Kansas harvest field seemed like 8 breath in comparison. But the steel mills were hotter. A whole acre with hot iron. Always the heat waves dancing and jiggling befo Night or day it was just the same. Summer or winter. This was in the days of the 12-hour shift. Six to six. Day or night. Seven days a week. The pay was good The work was hard. And I got to appreciate the expression "hard as sted 2 If I bumped into a protruding billet it felt as though my hip was broken. And always overhead were the tons of steel. Being carried back and forth back and forth by crane. A dozen billets to a load, each weighing a quarter of a, ton, If they fell... if even one of them fell. Then 1 yearned to be a strander, Stranding on the eight-inch mill was con- sidered the most dangerous job in the plant. The billets were dragged out of the furnace by hand and skidded up to the roughing rolls. These were like the rolls on a wringer, only 20 times as big. Back and forth the billet went between the roughing rolls, growing thinner and longer with each passage. Then it was stuck into the stranding rolls. With their backs to the rolls the stranders stood, pairs of tongs in their hands, As the steel streaked out of the guide they caught it, turned swiftly and stuck it into the next roll. A bar was hard to catch as it came out of the rolls. It came so fast. A strander could hardly wait until he saw it, he might miss it. After a while he learned to snap his tongs when he heard the bar hit the rolls on the other side. If he did it just right he caught the bar about 18 inches from the end, so it was easy to handle. If he got a much longer hold on it, the bar would bend and the end would hit against his leg. Of course, it was red hot. I remember the first time I saw the rolling mill working. So many of them seemed to be painted yellow on their faces, necks, arms, hands. It was picric acid--what they always put on themselves where the steel burned them. It was fascinating to watch, this stranding and rolling, The men, dressed like wierd gnomes, with hot steel running all around them. The moving bars looked like giant, red hot snakes, twisting, slithering, chasing one another over the iron floor and through the rolls. o Many of the stranders were stripped to the waist, and they wore big canvas aprons to keep the heat off their abdomens and thighs. On their legs they often had leggings made of thin sheet iron, covered with canvas. The iron floor was so hot that it sputtered when they spit on it. The | soles of a pair of shoes would burn out in a single night. To avoid this the men made extra soles, Old leather belting, two or three layers of it. Layers of heavy canvas. Old auto tires. Even then their feet got hot. Gradually I learned. When the mill was slow I would try my hand. At first I dreaded going in and taking the tongs. Sometimes I would sit for half an hour, trying to screw up my courage to go in and relieve a man. I guess it was a kind of game. It took a quick eye and a quick hand, besides nerve. Only about one out of five men who tried to become stranders succeeded. your eyes quit coming in. If I got in a tight place, if the steel was coming too fast for me to handle in comfort, if I missed a bar or two, I always got out. This night I missed three in succession. I slowed the mill down and the other men were holding the bars, cursing and shouting at me. The steel was burning their hands. I-was burning up. My hands were beginning to blister, the heat was so constant. I motioned to Gus, the strander I was relieving, to «come in and take the tongs. I couldn't stand it any longer. But Al saw me, "Stay there, damn you," he yelled. "If you're goin' to relieve a man, relieve him: Stay there and keep your head." = Another bar came through just then and I missed it. By the time I got the tail end in the rolls another came through. I caught this one, bent it in the rolls. The steel was coming fast. I was almost ready to drop, and the heat on my hands was driving me crazy. The rolls began to go black before my eyes. I was' dizzy and my knees were wobbly. But I couldnt get out until Gus relieved me. suppose it was about five minutes. But I hadn't missed a bar in that time. At last one night Al gave me a regular job. It was the night that George got burned. George had his back to the rolls and was whipping out a finished rod. The next rod shot out and something went wrong. I think a guide had worked loose. Instead of remaining in the trough, the bar jumped the low walls and shot out at an angle. Some one yelled at George, but it was too late. The rod hit his foot. He yelled and became entangled in it. Al shut off the power immediately and everyone rushed up, each with a pair of tongs or shears to extricate George. He was screaming and the smell of burnt flesh was sickening. They had the steel away from him in a minute except from his foot. The sharp end of the rod, three-eighths of an inch in diameter, had pierced his foot, between the tendon and the ankle. Fifty feet had gone through and another fifty feet was behind, It couldn't be pulled out. It burned its way out, through the tendon. He was badly burnéd on the arms, legs, hips and even across the back, where the red hot rod had looped around him. His foot, of course was ruined. The next night I was a regular millhand, and I kept the job most of the summer. Then I got mine. 2 It was one of those hot, sticky nights when everybody is depressed any- how. And the mill was slow. About ten o'clock the roughers got hold of a billet that was a little cold. I waited, my eye on the guide, for it to come out. I could hear the rolls bang, the way they do when the steel is cold. And it came through. But not straight out, as it was supposed to. It came out with a jump curling straight toward my belly. I didn't have time to think. I couldn't catch it. But I got my tongs in the way and deflected it between my legs. It hit the left one and almost knocked me over. I grabbed the top of the rolls to keep from falling and the hot bar hit the other leg. I climbed up on the rolls and let the rest of it go by. It was a narrow squeak. If I hadn't knocked it down, that bar would have gone right through me the way the red hot rod had gone through George's foot. The doctor put something on the burns, scraped the dirt and scale out of them and put me in the hospital. I would be all right, he said, if in- fection didn't set in.. But I guess the hot steel had cauterized the cuts it had made. Anyhow.I didn't get blood poisoning. I was only in the hospital | for a few days, but I couldn't walk for some time more, It wasn't long after that that I quit working in the steel mills. I joined isn't so dangerous. , I thought; 22% cents an hour, $18.90 a week. | 1 didn't want to admit that I was a coward. | But Al, the roller, told me one night that I'd either have to learn orf, It seemed lik an hour before he came, "I|- the Navy and went. to war, where 4 man doss's have fo-work go hard and it, i Everything must be wait for a few days. tirely.
