How can official wives find time
for war work, or don't they? What
do the women whose husbands are
here because the American people
have so voted do while their bubbles
are helping make the Nations laws?
They have their households to run
many have children to supervise
and all have that so-important
share in doing the feminine half
Iof a hard-working American team.
How we wondered, is there any time
left for the wives of lawmakers
to help with the war effort?
We decided to ask one. And we
chose Mrs. Harold Burton. wife OF
the junior Senator from Ohio.
A friendly ana simple and very
charming and natural lady, Mrs.
Burton arrived few minutes be-
fore our appointment-having come
by streetcar. She looked as trim
and slender and neat as a pin, and
despite the fact that she said she
felt wind-blown, not one of her
neatly groomed gray hairs was out
Of place.
Our first question to Mrs. Burton
was this: How do you find time
to do all the war work we are told
you are doing and still manage
your official life?"
And Mrs. Burton's reply was that
official life was far simpler thing
than 1t used to be back in peace
times. Entertaining, that is, offi-
cial entertaining, has been cut to a
minimum, she said. People are just
plain too busy trying to win the
war. Entertaining on a lavish scale
is too difficult-what with the serv-
ant problem and food rationing and
gas rationing and the wine short
age. So Mrs. Burton, like other
official ladies. finds less time for
official entertaining and more time
for war work.
| And here are a few of the vol
unteer jobs that Mrs. Burton does!
She is a member of the Traveller S
Aid board and as such was chosen
to be member of the Operating
Committee Of the USO Lounge al
Union Station, where she is on reg
ular duty and also is on call. day
and night, as an emergency fill-in
Every third day she serves with
the Antiaircraft Volunteers as a

PHYSICIAN TELLS
OF BABY'S HURTS
BY HENRY L. SUPPLE

PITTSFIELD, Mass, Feb. o.
R-A physician testifying today at
superior court trial of John F. Nox-
on. Jr.. 7, on a charge of muir
dering his six-months-old subnor-
NAL son, said that he had noticed
injuries about the infants eyes
during an examination few hours
before the child was electrocuted
in the Noxon home on Sept. %.
Under questioning by District
Attorney Charles R Albert, DR..
George P. Hunt, elderly pediatri-
clan, said that when the mother,
Mrs. Margaret Noxon, brought the
infant to him for a checkup and
for diptheria and whooping cough
NEGOTIATIONS, she explained that
the baby had bumped his head or
face against his crib.
DR.. Hunt said that there was
evidence of a slight hemor-hage
near the external corner of the
left eye and a discoloration on the
inner corner Of the right eye.
In response to the prosecutors
questions, the doctor said he ask
ed Mrs. Noxon about the condi-
ton.
GAS I recall" the doctor said.
Mrs. Noxon said it happened four
or five days previously"
The child, previously designated
as of the mongoloid type in cour1
testimony was described by DR.
Hunt as "a relatively short baby
with flabby rather than firm tbs
sue." He said the arms and legs
were shorter than normal.
1T seemed to me that the mus
cles of his back were stronger
than on previous visits" the physi
clan declared. THE baby woulc
move his head from side to side
and his arms would come up tt
his face, but l do not recall thai
he grasped anything He would moi
move his arms with the activity
and frequency of motion of a nor
NAL baby"
Earlier DR.. Hunt had identified
a 26-gauge rustless steel needle as
the one he had used in giving the
baby a Schick test. The needle
was INTRODUCED after being shown
to the jury as commonwealth
exhibit.
