Or isn't she? Is she eating it?"

Being Remedied
Gradually.

A 6-YEAR-OLD Kentucky boy with
an upside-down brain has just
been reported to the child develop
ment section of the National Re-
search Council here.
He writes, draws and does hts arith-
metic wrong side up.
He holds a book upside down to
read.
BY patient training, according N
the report of Marion l.. Billings, q
Louisville educator, in the Research
Councils journal, the boy is being
trained to do all these things right
side up.
Now, in fact, he can read his primer
about as we'll right side up as upside
down.
This is believed to be the first case
of the kind known 10 science. al
though similar condition, known
as mirror writing, is not uncommon.
1t may be. of course, that 6-year-old
Arthur is normal and all the rest of
us abnormal.
All of us should see things upside
down. That's the way they are re-
ceived on the retina Of the eye, which
is like the lens of camera.
But we know that we actually see
them right side up. Just why nobody
is quite able TO tell us. Somehow or
other our brains twist them around
for us
1t seems Arthur's brain didn't start
doing that of its own accord.

turned into lovely rings. bracelets and
attractive ornaments for the home as

If you are looking for hobby that

it's making jewelry, they say.

In fact, Mr.. Baxter himself occas-
ionally refers to him as assistant
professor"
Hes been in the shop since it
opened two years ago." the instructor
explained. He works with me on
lots of experiments and often when
I'm busy and students want to have
a process demonstrated I just turn
them over to Bush"
Nor is Edwards reputation confined
to the shop in which he does his
class work.
STUDENTS throughout the building
know of his ability, and he's build
ing up quite business on the side
with special orders from boys and
girls who want rings and bracelets
set with semi-precious stones and de-
signed with that special Bush touch.

months after I started this course"
Edward said, land I've made prac-

five matches and arranges them Sc
