Girls with cleft palates are harder to treat than boys, said he, "because girls are ordinarily protected from the rude mockery of other children. Consequently they are apt to take pride in their funny way of talking...
Spread before the eyes of the young poets who wish to see is the vista of a world of struggle, of economic and political forces locked in a clench, battling without regard for the Marquis of Queensberry's rules.

Registering a newborn's foot prints is not very reliable, because foot prints are not distinctive for some time after birth. Newborn children clench their fists so tightly that finger prints cannot be made. Dr. Kegel last week suggested a novel idea: stencil the infant's foot in suntan from an ultraviolet lamp...
