Sirs: At last I have found something that I can contradict in the pages of TIME magazine, on very good authority. I refer specifically to p. 54 of the April 11 issue of TIME magazine. The notice is headed "Slip" and refers to what is, without a doubt, a remarkable accident record of 795 days [at Remington Typewriter's Syracuse factory ]. However what we take exception to is the statement made by F. E. Redmond, director of the educational bureau of the Associated Industries of N. Y.

"It is the greatest individual factory safety record in the history of the civilized world," cried Frank E. Redmond, director of the educational bureau...
...reproduce them in drawings of exquisite details. (He is notably skillful at freehand drawing.) If he could see into a windpipe, lung or gullet, why not reach into them- remove foreign bodies, perform small operations? It was only necessary to invent forceps, pincers, clamps, scissors, knives small enough to slip through the tubes. They must be operated by long, slender The University of Pennsylvania created a Chevalier Jackson Bronchoscopic Clinic for him. There he has taught to hundreds of graduate doctors, among them his son & assistant Dr. Chevalier Lawrence Jackson, the technique of removing growths and obstructions from the mouth...
