Student Health EXAMINATION OF THE EYES An explanation of the designations or title: of persons qualified to examine the eyes is con- sidered important. Oculist and ophthalmologist are the names given to a graduate physician or a doctor of medicine who has, in addition to the regulai medical training, specialized in the treatment of diseases of the eye and the correction of visual defects. Optician is the name given to the person whoj is trained in the grinding and fitting of lenses. Another name for an optician is optometrist. This means one who makes measurements of the power of vision and adaptation of lenses for the aid thereof without the use of drugs. Another name used is "eyesight specialist." In an attempt to remove the confusion regard- ing these terms, the Guild of Prescription Opti- cians of America, an organization of the opticians of the better type, has decided to call one of their number a dispensing optician or guild optician and to call the oculist or ophthalmologist an eye physician. A guild optician or dispensing optician will give glasses only when a prescription is brought from an eye physician. They do not ex- amine eyes; they only fill prescriptions. They realize that glasses should be given only after a careful examination of the eyes by a graduate physician or doctor of medicine who has had special training in treating diseases and defects of the eye. An optician, or optometrist, or eyesight spe- cialist, is not a graduate physician or doctor of medicine and he does not diagnose or treat dis- eases of the eye. He is trained to grind and measure lenses and to fit frames properly. . The proper way to examine the eyes for glasses is with the aid of a cycloplegic or "drops. There are several kinds of "drops," depending upon the type of case. All have the same effect, that is, temporarily to put at rest the little muscles in- side the eye, so that the pupil will become dia- lated or enlarged. With a little instrument called the ophthalmoscope, the physician can then look inside the eye and see the interior, make a study of its contents, and determine whether everything is normal or whether there is evidences of dis- ease. This can not properly be done unless "drops" are used. Also, when the pupil is dilated the phy- sician can, with another little device called the retinoscope, see into the back of the eye and with it measure the length or depth of the. eyeball. When this is done he can accurately prescribe a suitable glass; he knows what to prescribe, and does not have to guess regarding it. The exami- nation of eyes and the fitting of glasses without the aid of "drops" are based on guesswork. An eye physician can determine whether head- ache and other symptoms are due to the eyes or to other causes, and can direct the patient to the proper physician. Pain around the eyes and defective vision are often due to sinus' infection, pus absorption from tonsils, teeth, etc. The eye physician recognizes such conditions and the proper treatment is advised. In such cases glasses are not needed at all, although pain and eye symptoms are present. It is important that such conditions come to the attention of an eye physi- cian so that glasses will not be prescribed when they are not necessary. o some threeyears ago when one Myrtle Ross md a number of other people put this same show o the acid test. As I recollect those evenings down at the Whit- ley, I feel that any play capable of standing up inder the gentle ministrations of Miss Ross' com- )any was a great play. And "Meet the Wife" did. 3ad as Miss Ross' production was, I wore the car- et through in three places from rolling in the aisles, and they carried me out on a park bench. "Meet the Wife" has to do with that grandest of traditional comic characters, the garralous fool. Gertrude Lennox is partly Mrs. Malaprop with some of Mary Boland thrown in. Too stupid to be quite a hypocrite, she emotionalizes on her arty soul, her false importance in the home, and her imaginary past so intensely that she convinces :ven herself. Last night Frances Johnson gave a heartily amusing reading of the part, sweeping through her lines with the requisite graceful, off- hand, slightly absent-minded manner. Her char- acter emoted, domineered, exhibited charm, rant- ad, shrieked, fell into a dead faint; and it was all great fun. Her performance carried the show, along with that of Jack B. Nestle as Victor Staun- ton, fancy fortune hunted. Mr. Nestle was laugh- able without being annoying, in a part that could go to either extreme. Donald Brackett and Maxwell Pribil, although handicapped by too-youthful makeup, were con- siderably better than adequate. Russel McCracken's direction was spirited (the good-showmanship of the script overcoming a few technical errors) and his drawing-room set was appropriately burlesqued. Another review of "Meet the Wife" will appear in tomorrow's Daily). ROBERT HENDERSON TO OPEN BONSTELLE SEASON WITH PHILIP BARRY'S "ANIAL KINGDOM' The opening the Bonstelle Civic Theatre on Friday evening, Nov. 11, with Philip Barry's com- edy "The Animal Kingdom," will mark the be- ginning of another chapter in the history of that playhouse.I This initial bill will be in the nature of a memorial performance to Jessie Bonstelle, the founder of the theatre which now bears her name, it has been announced. Robert Henderson, who was to have been associated in the season's enterprise, has been engaged by the trustees to carry on her work, and the sparkling Barry' comedy has been selected to be the first of many interesting bills. A cast of distinguished Bonstelle alumni, in- cluding Jessie Royce Landis, Lester Vail and Gale Sondirgaard; has been selected for the produc- tion. Others will include Frances Dade, popular in Detroit and Ann Arbor for her many successes in te anhual Ann Arbor spring dramatic festival, Marie Adels, John Lucas, Ainsworth Arnold, Fran- cis Copton and Walter Vaughn. Mr. Arnold, who ha 'een a popular New York character actor f'dr several years will play the prize-fighting hutler-a part which he cieaed in Ann Arbor last season', "The Animal Kingdom," which Burns Mantle selected as one of the 10 best plays of the year, is the story of a man who married the wrong woman. It is an intriguing study of contemporary life in New York's Greenwich Village and the wealthy Westchester county social set. The bril- liant Barry dialogue, the amusing situations and the conflict of human values unite to form an interesting and lively drama.

T UESDAY'S results in the national election made one thing practi- cally certain as far as Congress is concerned. No longer will the party irregulars, the insurgent Re- publicans, as typified by Senator Norris and Brookhart and Representative LaGuardia, wield as powerful a vote as they used to. For now the Democrats seem certain of a majority in both houses of Congress and no longer will they be forced to rely on the irregulars for support. The imminent decline of the power 'of this group brings to a probable close another era in party history. For years these men had been elected on a Republican ticket, apparently as bona fide members of the party. But after election time they deserted the parties to whom .they owed, their election and went into the opposition camp. Theoretically they belonged to one party, actually they voted with the other. And their votes consti- tuted the balance of power in a Congress which was held by small majorities during the last two years. Extreme party regularity, blind to arguments or conditions, is to be deplored." But to vote c'onsis- tently with one party after having been elected by the other organization does not seem to be quite ethical. It is indeed fortunate that this election brings with it the downfall of the power of the so-called progressives. For in the next two years they will have -to declare the true colors they wish to sail under and stick to them instead of sailing continually under false colors. Roosevelt Smiles; Stocks Go Utip.. T HE SMILE of a victor, the smile of a popular favorite, the smile of President-Elect Roosevelt, is a glorious thing. It will probably have us well on the road to financial recovery before President Hoover is out of office. No aspersions are cast on the great ability of Mr. Roosevelt. We are merely remarking on the fortunate trend of mob psychology and the irony of fate. Let us explain, Wednesday morning stocks all over the country took a decided leap, which was noticeable as soon as the stock exchange opened in New York. What is the answer? Candidate Roosevelt im- presses upon the nation that he will bring back prosperity if elected. He is elected by an over- whelming majority. Convinced that stocks are bound to soar, the nation rushes to buy at low prices. A comparatively huge volume of buying forces stocks upward, so more people buy. A new confidence is engendered. Stocks begin to pay steady dividends. People begin to buy merchan- dise. More people have money. More confidence. 1ffnr,.,,htti rr- - -o- 212-214 So.

AT THE MICHIGAN "THE CRASH" Linda Gault...........Ruth Chatterton Geoffrey Gault.........George Brent Ronnie.............. Paul Cavanaugh John Fair ..............H..Henry Kolker The program in brief: We'll let you judge this one more or less for yourself. Here it is: Linda Gault, married to the plutocratic Geoffrey, Wall- street bear, or bull, as the times may be, is "bored with the world, Celeste" as she puts it to her blonde maid. The time is 1929. October. Along comes the crash, and Geoffrey takes more or less to drink and attempts to worm market secrets out of John Fair in order to about face, and come out of the depression. Linda is delegated to do the work. And so it goes. Finally she must go to Bermuda. There she meets sheep-herder Ronnie, big, tall, dark, Englishy sheep-herder who first indicates his like, then his dislike, then his love for her. He wants her to divorce Geoff. She goes to New York to do this, doesn't. Then Ron- nie appears on the scene and has "words" with Geoff, although neither forgets that the other is a gentleman. Geoff wants to take the Englishman out on the sidewalkand pummel him soundly. In a gentlemanly way. Then they forget all about it and talk the whole matter over in a way we though very sophisticated. There is talk then of Ronnie's taking. Miss Chatterton to Europe, but : . . does Geoff let him? No he sells her letters to John Fair, buys back her idolized furniture and they live happily ever after . . . with each other. That is, Geoff and Linda do. Ronnie is still Waiting in the taxi-cab watching the meter go up, for all we know. What do you think of it? We didn't, either. Added attractions: An Andy Clyde comedy with that girl with the form! There are some fine semi- undress shots, although even a fur coat can't conceal that girl. Also Paramount news, and a Ruth Etting short, in which Ruth wears a dress that doesn't fit. And Ruth's dresses must fit. -G. M. W. Jr. TheTa heatr AND LINGERIE SHOP Editorial Comment' THE HOOVER TRAGEDY For the President personally in his defeat there will be a feeling of kindness touched by the pathos of the political misfortunes against which he has struggled in vain. The strong god circumstance was too powerful for him. He was held respon- sible for the sins of others. Upon his individual head was wreaked the spirit of resentment and of vengenace fo1 events which neither he nor any other man in public office could control. It is true that he partly exposed himself to such at- tack by identifying himself with the wrong poli- cies and foolish promises of his party four years ago; but to single him out as if he were the sole man accountable, the only one to bear the burden, the fitting target for the slings and ar- rows of outrageous fortune, was no doubt inevit- able, as human nature goes-especially as the nature of the political animal goes-but distinctly and grossly unfair. Mr. Hoover was deserted by his friends as well as assaulted by his enemies. The campaign was going against him almost by default until he stepped forward to assume the whole load of it. To the end he presented the pathetic spectacle of a man exerting all of his strength against formidable and insurmountable obstacles. It was, a clear case of an individual made to suffer unjustly for the mistakes and crimes of others. Herbert Hoover ought to be remembered for his abilitiies, his successes as well as his failures. Through all the great crisis he certainly displayed great qualities, No President ever worked harder in the hope of helping the people to escape from their troubles. Mr. Hoover also worked with rare intelligence. His grasp of facts was phenomenal. His adherence to what he believed sound prin- ciples was heroic. For fully three years he was compelled to pass through the furnace of political affliction, and came out of it, to be sure, with certain defects and flaws revealed, yet with a large amount of the pure gold of statesmanlike talent, along wtih an undoubted and unsparing devotion to the public good. 305 South State St. (Half a Bloch from the Campus ) We have just received another shipment of WOMEN'S ALL-WOOL LOUNGING ROBES at $2*.5 and $.9 These may be had in Green, Red, Rose or Blue I pp SILK ROBEs at .$5.25 and $7.25 LACE NEGLIGEES at......$18.00 10G' WOMEN'S GIRDLES Extra Firm Elastic Webbing -- Guaranteed in Every Way Priced at $1.00 $1.50~$1.95 $2.75 and $2.95 A Large Line of BRASSIERES at 5Oc up to $1.50 " " I I I 11___________________________________ - ., ,4 11
