Book of UncIes

(MdcmillanJ
The Book Of Uncles" Is . new
venture in the Paul Bunyan field.
This boy surely had more uncles
than any boy is entitled to have, and
they all had virtues and powers un-
known to the common run Of un-
cles. Even though they were just
average men, their averageness was
much superior to common average
ness.
Take the first uncle described. He
was the only one Of the lot who
achieved fame, but his method Of
achieving it could only belong to
one Of Mr.. Cofhn's uncles. He
achieved fame by missing boat!
Or take the last uncle described.
He spent all his days and nights for
years nursing q century plant and
waiting for it to bloom. On the
night it decided to bloom he was
busy elsewhere, and kicked the
offending flower into perdition in
the dark.
These are just samples Of the
kinds Of uncles that grew In iris
tram Coflin's. Maine. Some are
much more noteworthy than these.

This book seems to be a rewriting,
and perhaps an elaboration, of
charges made by the Department of
Justice against certain corporations,
and of testimony presented before
the Truman Committee to Investi-
gate the National Defense Program.
The works purpose is to show that a
number Of prominent American
companies. previous to Americas en-
try into the war, made contracts
with German companies which gave
Germany advantages in materials
and processes indispensable to mill
tary operations. The author insin-
yates bad faith on the part of the
companies involved, summons his
public to witness that the world has
come to the end of the private en-

management of business and indus

War Causes Development
OF New Plastic Eye

A plastic eye almost impossible of
detection from the real thing is the
latest development of the laborato-
ries to meet wars complete shut-off
of the source of supply, according to
DR.. Theodore ]. Dimitry of New
Orleans, writing in the Journal of
the International College Of SUI
geons.
Some 10000 artificial eyes are
used in the United States eachSear,
DR.. Dimitry states, and of this num-
Der Germany supplied 10000 be-
fore the war started.
However, American ingenuity has
already forestalled the necessity
of returning to the ancient patch
over the eye when the stock of not
moe than 1000 artificial eyes the
Un.ssc States had on hand at the
outbreak of the war is completely
gone, DR.. Dimitry says. The new
type of artificial eye, made from
acrylic resins, is fully 80 per cent
machine made and can be turned
out in mass production. Not only is
the plastic eye capable of being
turned out in huge numbers if nee
essary, but it is many times better
than the best glass eyes which here
tofore have come. almost exclusively
from Germany. The new plastic
eye will move in harmony with the
companion eye, writes DR.. Dimitry,
impossible with the old type of glass
eye which was set in fixed posi-
ton in the eye socket. The iris col
oring and the size of the pupil of the
new plastic eye can be made to
match the real eye perfectly by
means of color photography.
Down to the present day, Germa-
ny has had a virtual monopoly of
the artificial eye industry. With one
exception, all eye making firms in
the United States used German glass
before the war. But the discovery
of the use of plastics in the max
ing of artificial eyes will eventually
make our country entirely self-sup-
porting in this market since all the
materials for the synthetic resins
are found here. Plastic artificial
eyes, states the article in the Jour-
nal of the International College of
Surgeons, are Immediately availa-
BILE and only await commercial pro-
duction.

Courses of Pills Are
Charted by Scientists

IOWA CITY, IOWA.-The secret
of how pill knows where to 60 to
stop the pain is out. The pill doesn't
know where to go.
1t is for this reason that scientists
in the University of Iowa pharma-
ceutical laboratories are working on
experiments to perfect a new pill
coating which will resist stomach
digestion until it passes into the in
festival tract where it is needed.
Dean Rudolph A. Kuever says that
mechanical stomachs and actual
ones are being used to determine
where pills 60 and when they dis
integrate students are using their
own stomachs for experimentation.
They take harmless pills with diff
ferent types of coating and observe
the progress of the pills through
their bodies with a Horoscope.
Some diseases and illnesses can
be treated effectively only If the
pills do their job in the right places.
In a few months experiments will
reach final stage, and We'll know
all about the ways of pills.

Yar,k Wants Return

HELPED China as Bomber IN

SHEPPARD FIELD, TEXAS
Dana Dodge wants to get q crack

A private for Uncle Sam now. the
serious-eyed Dodge few as q major

as ever you'd find"
They came from all lands to fight
at Chungking and nothing was asked
of their past except their ability to
fly and shoot.
Dodge left the University of Cali
fornia with IA others at the behest
of a Chinese friend.
In China he was a machine gunner
and bombardier with fiiers whose
equipment was 30 obsolete planes.
Their duty was to protect thousands
of square miles of Chinese territory.
''The planes had fewer instru-
ments than modern trainer" he
said. at took pilots with nerve
and ability to fly them. China was

anything available"
Dodge returned from China i'm

ing their coastal cities-the Chinese
fought well-equipped army to a
standstill.
Sure, thousands of Chinese died."
Dodge said, ''but life is cheap In

gladly die if he were sure of taking

The inheritance came in August.

'TeethinP-Ring'

Still another of the scientifically
designed contraptions for the very
young is an ultra-modern 'teething-
ring" which really isn't a ring at
all but a string of three-cornered
pieces of plastic. These things are
just the right thickness for a baby to
bite on and they are so fashioned
that it is impossible for a youngster
to stretch his, or her, small mouth
out of shape, or to swallow the OBJ

STARLIGHT. STARLIGHT

The color of the stars is almost
entirely a matter of temperature,
varying from white, through yellow,
orange, orange-red to red. If star
is very hot it appears white and if
it is very cold it appears deep red.
A star will have the same color as
will a piece of metal, lump of clay
or any other material heated to the
same temperature.

Il you should lose four or 1--WE times,
It would mean the end Of our for
tune. We'd better mot come out
here any more"
But by now Dufican was very sure
OF himself. He knew, he said, his
horses. Moreover, after he'd cleaned
up they could live just 50 much high
er than heretofore planned.
And so Duncan, much TO Maria's
CONSERVATION, began to plunge. He
bought hlndred-dollar straight tick
cts in punches. And il. wasn't long
before the fact that the worth of
acquired experience, touts and tips
and dope sheets was practically nil.
Favorites didn't always win, and
old-timers' advice was about as
good as nothing at all. No one, Dun
can discovered, knew great deal
more than anyone else about which
horse would win a certain race.
Duncan lost 5000 on a single
race. Before the day was ended
his total losses had risen to SIC, 900.
That night he consulted his most
reliable dope sheet, made certain
rotations on a block of paper and
the next day journeyed out to Hia-
leah with q vengeance. Before the
last race was run he had contrib
uted $4,000 more to the fund that
supports the pink flamingoes in the
parks center green. A sort of des-
perate feeling kept him awake that
night And when he dropped an
other 5000 on the day following the
desperate feeling changed to panic.
His losses now were serious, and
unless he made a final plunge in the
hopes of cleaning up-well, things
looked pretty bad.
Duncan was standing all
alone by the paddock railing when
the horse on which he held straight
ticket came in third, and the feeling
that came over him was similar to
that which comes to men who con-
template suicide. He felt suddenly
old and broken and sick at heart.
Realization of what a fool he'd been
swept over him and brought trem-
or of disgust to his lips. He thought
of Maria, remembering her quaint
old New England custom of being
conservative, deriding himself for
scorning it. New England seemed
very far away just then.
He turned away, dreading the mo-
ment when he would have to face
his spouse; he turned and found her
standing two feet away, watching
him. Duncan gulped and tried to
meet her eyes and couldn't. She
took a step toward him, placed a
hand on his arm, and smiled.
Il know, l know" she said. We'll
go away tomorrow. l guess we're
not gamblers, Duncan. We're
we're New Englanders, conserva-
tive folks"
Duncan looked at her miserably
and shook his head. eve can't
60 away, Maria. We've lost-every-
thing"
But Maria still smiled, and then
Duncan saw that her other hand
held something in it. He stared,
and heard her voice as if from
distance.

she said, family admonishing. 1T
