...temporarily. Ousted Mr. Huston was reported as saying at once: "Enter the Ohio Gang again." If uttered, this bitter remark was aimed at Walter Folger Brown of Toledo as much as at Simeon Davison Fess. The latter was never a member of the Harding-Daugherty-Jesse Smith inner circle, though party and State loyalty required him to flay the Ohio Gang's critics in his maiden Senate speech. Postmaster General Brown was not a Harding Gangster, either, but he now controls the bulk of the party's patronage...
...statue dedication, the main preoccupation of the convention. The association wants employers to realize that the deaf can work at every occupation except aviation. Their handicap in flying results, not from their inability to hear, but from deficiency of the organ of balance in the inner ear. President Arthur L. Roberts declared that not one insurance company discriminates against the deaf, that employers have found that accidents are rare among deaf workers because they are exceptionally careful. A recent Pennsylvania check-up of motorists revealed deaf drivers are best. Only Ohio, North Carolina and Minnesota have public employment bureaus...
...highly experienced ophthalmologists, for the danger of an ill-trained man injuring his patient's eyes is great. For fitting such glasses 39 lenses are necessary.

Nor may their optical curve be exactly that of ordinary eyeglasses. Contact lenses are held against the eyeballs by the capillary suction of tear water. Thin though the layer of tears is, it has an optical effect...
...perceived a peculiar red contrivance not common to deer. Puzzled, Hunter Daley took careful aim, fired. The buck dropped. "Daley approached somewhat cautiously and examined the animal. The buck was dead with a broken neck. From the deer's neck he removed the red stripe-an automobile inner tube. . . . The shot had exploded the inner tube and presumably broken the deer's neck." Investigation proved the owner of the inner tube to be a vacationer who, fortnight before, while repairing a flat tire, had been attacked by a deer, had thrown the tube in defense, landing it around...
Largest of North American terrestrial rodents, the porcupine is, however, a highly destructive emergency food supply to have wandering unmolested through the land. It is a voracious vegetarian, not at all fastidious. Besides all manner of plants, buds and the inner barks of trees, it will gnaw at men's cabins, canoes and food containers, especially where any salty supplies have been stored...
