Everybody knows that eyes were made to rubber. Very few know that eyes are now being made of rubber. This Is one of the million results of the war. notes Il correspondent.
 Glass eyes are always more or less uncomfortable. and frequently unsight- ly. and 1t is interesting. therefore when the defOrmitieS of war are SO serious a subject of consideration, tn learn that two French workers, Mme. IIemaitre and Teuillieres. have evolved an entirely new method of replacing a lost eye.
