When I got out of Liigland 1 caine to America, where 1 went again to prison, this time in Auburn. tn 1927, free again, I came to Chicago." ,ri. v „ : ' Chicago Anne declared "that she had lived an honest life for six years and would have stayed a retired mem ber of crookdotn if Ueedy hadn't ap peared a few weeks ago with a tempting offer. "He told me he needed tny help," she asserted, "Just for one good Job. We'd uiake a single big jewelry haul and have enough to live out our days with plenty. I agreed to help hi in. So ho called himself Doctor Clayton and I called myself Mrs. Clayton and we went into the Benjamin Allen A Company Jewelry shop on Wabash avenue. "I was to keep the clerks attention'and 'Doctor Clayton' was to take the -'Jewelry when they weren't looking. But the poor old fellow had lost his grip. He confessed to me when, we got out that he hadn't taken a thing, that he didn't have the nerve. Poor old guy! Now he's dead and buried, all for disappointment because he couldn't be a good crook any longer.' "But," said Chief Schoemaker. "he did get something In that jobj He had $2,500 worth of Jewelry In his room. We foundjlt after he committed sui cide.*' And It came from Allen's." "What!" exclaimed Chicago Anne. "He made a sucker out of me. The dirty double-crosser." Civilization has lifted' many burdens from the backs of human beings, but has gteatly increased the severity of visual tasks. And that's certain. Ask any editor who reads the equivalent of .a full-length novel in the course of a day's work, or any housewife busy of an evening at her sewing and inending. Particularly the housewife. She approaches the task at the end of a day whose hours of work have nothiiy? whatever to do with rules laid down in Washington for other indusadfutting them**Ivea to %oid* contrast*. tries. She's tired. But the job that puts the greatest burden ojnJter eyesight-- the seeing and mending--generally has to wait until the rest of the day's work is done, > the hungry family fed ,for. the last time that day, ard the fishes washeo anc put away For mending or sewin gwith black thread <»n black material, where-contrast, always a factor m quick seeing reaches its lowest ebb, the eye specialist will tell her she needs a clear light f()puse<J right on her work The light -should come over her left shoulder. When she repairs that peek-hole in father's sock, she needs at least from fc.ur to five times the light he needs ! for his newspaper, the lighting engineer tell§ her. The poorer the light the longer it takes her to see, the : more energy is used In the work. I Using eyes for demanding work like this is under insufficient light is like drivirg an automobile in low gear. You may get there, in time, bat it takes longer and is much harder on the machine. *- Rgiht lighting, says the eye specialist, should make the eyes most productive with the least drain on th® strength. Good light, according to the illum*- inating engineer, increases reading and sewing ability from 5 to 23 pot cent: A portable lamp if adequate candle power plus cheerful general lightii^ in the room,- best answers the sewin|£. requirements. If there's any doubt about .the sufficiency of the portable lamp, the "sight meter" of any illuminating engineer, will quickly settle the question. The light on the sewing should no(r" be the one bright spot in an otherwise dark room. Every once In a while, at her work, the housewife glances up. And if she looks from brightly lighted work around a much darner room, she is putting her eyes tnrough an unnecessary set of calisthenics, forcing* them to adjust themselves to wide con tracts of light; a condition which hastens fatigue. In all the household, there is no one using eyes at work over a longer period than th mother- And of all hel^ tasks, none is as demanding as her sewing.
