Bound for far-away Wonders Of Plastic Surgery Doctors Have Constructed Eye Socket Where None Existed Born with only one eye and with only a few traces of eyelash where the other eyelids should have been, a 3-year-old New York girl will soon undergo an operation at the Man- hattan Eye, Ear and Throat Hos- case, although many plastic surgery reconstruction of eye sockets have been carried out with varying de- grees of success. These operations usually have involved persons in- jured in accident or in battle. Eighteen months ago the same surgeon who will do the next oper- ation broke the “seal” of the closed eyelids. In his second operation, about a year ago, he transplanted some mucous membrane from in- side the little girl's cheek to the un- lined socket to make a “pocket’’ to hold the new eye. He also con- structed upper and lower eyelids out of the skin where the regular eye- lids should have been. The third operation will include grafting another tissue flap from s6me other part of the child’s body to improve the lids and deepen the eyeball “pocket.” The surgeon ex- pressed optimism concerning the of i vy) ig the child’s appearance. yelashes will be made, he said, probably from the some time after the operation, to give the tissues a chance to heal. island and a year of scientific investi- gation in the north country, Clifford MacGregor, Newark airport meteor- ologist, and 11 associates sailed out of Sydney harbor in their schooner, the A.

Heavy Fighting Plane U.S. Has New Plane Said To Be Most Effective In The World The United States army is ready to send into the air what it terms the The new five-seater fighter, being prepared for test flights at Buffalo, N-Y., is a radical departure from pre- vious military designs. The all-metal, armored plane is a twin-motored “pusher” (with pro- pellers behind the wings), carries six machine guns and light bombs, and has new devices to increase its speed and fighting power. The war department said the plane had been designed to cope with the “giant bombing planes of the flying fortress type now flying in the lead- ing nations of the world.” The de- partment said: “An essential quality in an air destroyer is the ability to strike with power when it has en- gaged its prey. This plane answers with six guns, more powerful arma- ment than ever before carried on a fighter.” MAKE THIS MODEL AT HOME— SHIRTFROCK’S BECOMING TO EVERY TYPE "Way in the fashion lead for mid- Summer and Autumn, this striking Anne Adams shirtwaister is due for @ busy season of home, school, and office wear!

Based, it would seem, on the instinct of self-preserva- tion, people have been prone always to keep to that side. While the left, and more vulnerable side of the body, was naturally protected by a shield, the right hand and side were kept clear so as not to be hampered in drawing the sword for defense or attack. Was there not a tendency in ancient warfare for opposing forces to edge away to the right when approaching each other, which further illustrates the natural de- sire? An interesting survival is to be seen in the marriage service, when at the conclusion, the bride walks away on her husband's left side, instead of occupying the post of honor on his right hand, clearly that his right hand may be free to defend her, if needs be. The time seems al- most overdue for any regulation to be issued, but one can only hope that if anything is done, the old custom of keeping to the right will be main- fur as with the swiftness and skill of a swallow she hawks her meal of minute insects through the darkness of early night. Should she tire of thus transport- ing her babies, she hangs her twin brood beneath the leafy protection of a branch, returning to give them the solace of her body, while she in turn hangs head downward by the claws of the “thumb” on her forearm and her diminutive hind feet throughout the majority of the 24 hours, her wings folded as a fan is closed.—Cal- gary Herald.

With the ex- ception of coal, iron ore, tin, antim- ony and tungsten, all of which are 5) on a ble scale, mining is a relatively undeveloped industry in China proper. No prospecting or exploitation of any mineral is allowed except when such rights are given by the govern- ment. The Chinese capital of a com- pany must be at least 51 per cent. of the total; more than half of the directors of the company must be Chinese citizens; the chairman of the board of directors, and the manager of the company must be Chinese. Broadly speaking, except for the coal, iron ore and tin industries, the greater part of mining operations in China are carried on by simple old- style Chinese methods operated by enterprises having very little capital resources and therefore not in a posi- tion to install modern equipment.— Correspondent In U.S. Has Sent 78,000 Missives A certain Mr. Charles Hooper, of Coeur D'Alene, Ida., has created a peculiar record. He is the world’s champion write of “letters to the editor.” To date he has written 78,000 such missives, and these have been sent, not only to editors in the United States, but also to France, Germany, Italy and Spain. All let- ters are written in the language of the country in which they are printed. It is easy to incur the criticism of being a busybody merely by writing to editors, but Mr. Hooper doesn’t care. He knows why newspapers de- vote columns to letters—the reason being that people like an open forum for discussion—and he has decided to make use of them.
