former King Hussein Of the Hedjez
might find home in Iraq, where his
son, Feisul, is king, may be the solu-
ton Of the homeless ex-monarch's
problem. The Bagdad Times learns
on good authority that this question
has been discussed by the council of
ministers. The decision arrived al:
was that there would be no objection
to Hussein taking up residence in
Basrah, provided he came to Iraq as
a private individual, not as mon
arch. 1t is considered probable that
Hussein will agree to these terms.

BERLIN.-An iron splinter, one
milimeter long, was recently removed
from the eye of a locksmith with the
aid of a gigantic magnet. The splint-
er had been in the patients eye for
three months before it could be To-
Gated. Eleven sittings during each
of which the splinter, which was To-
Gated in a remote corner of the eye,
was brought forward little farther,
were necessary to complete the opera
ton. DR.. Paderborn, the oculist in
charge, was particularly concern ed
about removing the splinter, as the
locksmith had lost one eye 80 years
ago through a similar mishap. The
experiment with the magnet was re-
garded as one having little prospects
of success, but it seemed to be the
only alternative to complete blind
ness.
