Upon hearing that an eyeless baby was born in Washington last week, officials of the Manhattan Eye, Ear & Throat Hospital revealed that they are building an artificial socket for an artificial eye in the head of a one-eyed baby. Plastic operations began 18 months ago when the baby, a blue-eyed blonde, was 18 months old. Surgeons first slit the skin where her second eye should have been and reamed out a cavity. When this healed, surgeons lined the cavity with mucous membrane taken from the inner surfaces of her cheeks. In the next few days the surgeons expect...
Nobody knows how many of them are women. Relief Administrator Harry Hopkins says there are 6,800. "BoxCar Bertha," whose ghost-written autobiography appeared last week, doubles the estimate. Whether or not Bertha is always strictly accurate in her figures or her facts, her narrative is cauliflower-ear-marked by the brutal truth, wears no wig.

Coats of Weiser, Idaho, who has a patient claiming sinus and ear trouble as the result of exposure to tear gas, the Journal pontificated: "It is reasonable to believe that enough irritation of the eyes or throat may be produced by tear gases to pave the way for secondary bacterial invasion, with ensuing pharyngitis and conjunctivitis on occasion. The possibility of the production of sinusitis and otitis media secondary to irritation by chloroacetophenone [commonest tear gas] is not at all fantastic. Chloroacetophenone is not the practically harmless substance it is commonly reputed...
