Picnickers in the woods around Washington are apt to have the tick jump on their necks and hide in the hair of the scruff. Public health bulletins to local papers advised that the insects be picked off the neck very carefully, without crushing. Children coming in from play in gardens or woods should be gone over. So should dogs, cats and other pets in whose fur the tick might find an intermediate spring board...
...nose and throat through two holes at the inner corner of each eye. Ordinarily this flow & drainage of tears is imperceptible, and serves simply to keep the eyeballs clean and slippery. But dirt or stinging stuff in the eyes makes those glandular reservoirs suddenly empty in a protective local reflex. The excess causes weeping, sniffling and gulping, for hard crying produces more tears than the tear ducts can carry off, and the excess overflows the lower eyelids onto the cheeks.

Last week the second National art show opened to a very different reception in the rooms generally reserved...
...without opposition from lesser Pittsburgh priests, the Radical Alliance quickly found a local strike in which to interest itself, that of the Canning & Pickle Workers' Union against Heinz Co., which had recognized a company union for collective bargaining. Fathers Rice & Hensler went down to the pickle workers' picket line, hoisted signs declaring "The Catholic Radical Alliance supports the Heinz strikers." Horrified, the pickets begged the priests to cover the word "Radical" on their signs. Night before an election conducted by the National Labor Relations Board, the three priests appeared at a mass meeting of Heinz workers, Monsignor...
