He ought to knowsometimes he Is right. s Cross Eyes Cross eyes and squint are two conditions that may be present. at birth or develop early in life and which, if neglected, may cause strong psychological' extl.emely SO( ttnet images, tends to suppress the vision of the affected eye nnd blindness through disuse develops. This can also occur in bvth eyes if corrective glasses a<e needed. Tlie psychological effect on thc^ fhitd" with cross eyes is impurtiuit. Often the target of unkind remarks by his playmates, the child withdraws emotionally, j'he child is usually nervous, and and tends to .sleeplessness and restlessness. Treatment before the age of <1 years obtains normal vision in most patients, but the percent eh .nges. in the child as well as result in blindness. Because so much can be d ne for both conditions. which are grouped under the medical ' term strabismus, ag-e declines as the child grows wise parents will seek medical 0]^ei although correction can still be accomplished to „a certain extent. $r Careful examination of the eyes for glasses is the most iniattention for . their chjjjiren early the educational committee of the Illinois State Medical Society points out in Health Talk. Cross eyes is present when one 5 p. j-tant part of treatment in the eye is turned in or out; up or eaily stnges. The eyes should be examined at regular intervals so that the required corrections can be established «to' restore visual acuity. While surgery is not always necessary) it is usually essential to the complete correction of most patients with cross eyes. If indicated, it is wise to complete this before the child enters -chool to obviate the development of emotional reactions and an inferiority complex. Our sight is a possession that, unfortunately, is not always appreciated until it is lost. Give your child the right of appreciation. Help him to do well at school by helping him to see well. Remember cross eyes can be corrected. Math Sehmitt, formerly of Sunnyside Estates, visited, Bill Ricks and Judge Sengstock Sunday. v * Mr. and Mrt.

"At first the eyes; niay. cross for only short intervals, particularly when the child is tired, or following an illness. Cross eyes may also be due to unequal development of-one .or . more of the six delicate muscles to each eye and this, in tutn. produces an unequal action in the coordinating muscles. This muscle defect is more commonly the type of cross, eyes which is present at birth. . . i A child tends to squint if not seeing clearly. Unusual habit? such as holding books or toys too close, or the tilting of the head should make the parents suspect an eye problem' This is also applied to a child who develops carsickness easily.

THE OLD YEAR AND THE NEW IN STATE 1 TRAFFIC FATALITIES Reports of 166,163 tmi'c accidents were filed with the Division of Highways last year, in compliance with the Illinois traffic Act.
