...clean white short-sleeved shirt, pants and sneakers. While Dr. Sweet scrubbed up, Warden Lawes was wheeled into the operating room, laid out on the operating table by prisoner-nurses who are paid 5? a day. Sheets were spread over him so as to cover the scar of his old rupture operation, expose only his left leg. Just above the knee of that leg was an exceedingly painful lump the size of a lemon...
...Cunningham's legs were burned in a school-house fire so badly that doctors did not expect him ever to walk again. When Bonthron was a child, he encountered a live wire while climbing in an apple tree. The result was a burn which left a large scar on his left leg. Like Venzke, who used to run to work every day for training, Bonthron goes everywhere on his own two feet. He owns no automobile, dislikes streetcars because "they stop at every corner." In racing against Cunningham, he has perfected a technique: to stay close behind until...

For they are sometimes not TOO clever, these Schneiders and De Wendels. And they seem to miss one point: the fire trenches and shell holes that scar the countryside in war time are only the primary lesions of an informational social discase. When the disease at last inevitably attacks the blood and bones of nations that have gone to war, even De Wendels and Schneidors can suffer--suffer with their tottering banks, their dropsical holding companies, their shocked...
...Reggie McNamara, "Iron Man" of the sport, the Six-Day Bicycle Race in Manhattan last week was his tooth. A friendly, mild-mannered man with a deep scar in his right cheek, McNamara is the son of a New South Wales sheep-rancher. He and his 13 brothers and sisters all learned to ride on the same bicycle. Reggie alone took the sport seriously. He shot kangaroos, sold their skins for money to enter local races, arrived in the U. S. in 1913. By 1920 he was the greatest rider in the world, with records, most of them still unbroken...
