Under Miscellany of TIME, May 6, was an item headed "Scared" telling of a boy, age five, frightened by a dog and within six hrs. losing his hair.

Two items down appeared an intimation that the Duke of Gloucester, third son of His Majesty George V, had consented to become the Patron of a charitable institute.
