Crippled Children Are
Aided by Modern Surgery

Magic, in the guise of modern
surgery and the ancient craft Of
brace making, is reality to Iowa's
crippled and deformed children
who have been patients at the Uni
versity of Iowa Children's hospital.
Here, under the genius of DR.. Ar
thur Slender, regarded as promi-
nent in this work, laboratory has
been built that ranks with the ma
tons best in orthopedic work. Here
children who we're hopelessly des-
tined to go through life with Grip
pied arms or legs. or deformed
foot, are walking and playing just
the same as their more fortunate
playmates.
For those who are not, and can
not be completely cured, there is re-
lief or permanent help Of nature
that lessons the burden of a physical
drawback that might have kept
them away from society as a whole.
DR.. Slender began orthopedic
work here even before the children S
hospital was built. He COMMITTED
to Iowa City from Des Moines twice
weekly to see patients and perform
operations.
The department was established
here in 1919 when the children S
hospital-one of four state operated
hospitals at the university-was con-
structed.

Blue Eyes Straightest

A soldier with blue eyes can shoot
straighter than his brown-eyed COM
rades, on the average, according to
officers Of the United States marine
corps. If this is so it might give
this nation at least one important
advantage in any shooting war with
Japan or Italy. A survey shows that
some two-thirds of our marines are
blue-eyed. A brown-eyed marks
man, it is said, is likely to be both
cred by shifting lights and shadows
or drifting clouds. He may make a
fine score under the most favorable
conditions, but his aim tends to
WAIVER when heat waves make the
target dance.

stars, now identified as members of
the Pleiades constellation, DR.. Adri-
an Van Maanen of Mount Wilson

Pleiades sisters and their mother,
who escaped the pursuit Of Orion
by becoming stars, the group con.
tains at least Oil known stars, the
astronomer said. The most bril-
liant, Alcyone, is about 1000 times as
bright as the sun and some Of the
