Of his plastic nose that will endure
weather, washing-and blowing

marine officer is being measured for
a plastic ear to replace one blown
of in the South Pacific.
To all of them, the incredibly
realistic artificial parts have meant
a bright outlook on lives that were
darkened by war injuries.
The new, hitherto-undiscovered
uses of the plastic, acrylic resin,
have been developed in the Maxillo-
facial prosthesis department recent
ly established in the dental school
at the center.
A three-man team OF a dental
officer, medical school illustrator
and technician, has adapted the
magic substance to its present use
They have discovered how to add
permanent colorings and how to
cure it with best results.
Far Cry From Old Processes.
The material can be hardened
into an eyeball and bounced against
the wall without breaking, or cured
into a fesh-colored. tissue like mass
for nose and ear replacement.
The new facial parts are a far
cry from those used until now.
Noses with shiny enameled sur
faces were hung on to eyeglasses.
Ears were attached to glasses, too,
and artificial eyes were glass shells
that left the eye socken sunken,
destroying facial contour.
Nearest approach to the plastic
for facial replacement has been
latex, but this Is colorless and cos
metics must be used. Latex is
short-lived and must be replaced
constantly.
Plastic noses and ears are attach
ed directly over the damaged stub
with a light gummy substance.
Coloring already is cured" into the
material and will not fade. Ex-
posure to heat and water has proven
that the plastic will stand up for a
period Of years.

The most radical departure from
replacement methods is the

made to fit the empty socket. This

LONDON. April 27-The us.
Army Medical Corps is ready,
when invasion begins, to give
the sick and wounded the best
medical care in the world. It's
easy for a civilian to forget the
medics until the battles start.
But the Army doesn't forget this
vital service, and battles don't
begin until it is ready.
The Medical Corps in the Eu-
ropean Theater of Operations
began building hospitals for the
Second Front just as soon as
America entered the war.
Before the hospital program
could get into full swing, the
medics had to know the plans OF
the pending operation in detail.
How many casualties must they
prepare for? How many sick
and non-battle injured? What
types of sicknesses?
BUILT HUGE HOSPITALS :
The number of hospital beds
required depends not only on
the number of patients admit
ted, but on the length OF time
each stays in the hospital. In
