Show This Week by Arthur Brisbane When Our Eyes Open Job, Ford and Valentino Dinutron and Penetrometer Campbell of Montana Earl Musselman, 22, student of the Pennsylvania Institute for the Blind, and blind from birth, "can now s-je, thanks to surgery, and has taken his first look at the world. Bright flowers delight him and he finds intense pleasure in studying study-ing faces of companions, whom he knew only by their voices. The young man says: "I won't have to guess at things any more." Perhaps we shall all say that, when we awake on the other side of the grave and our eyes are opened. Let us hope so. This period of worry would hardly be worth while, if it were all. A woman writer, who understands men and women, answers the question: ques-tion: "What kind of husband do women wo-men want?" thus: "A woman's ideal husband would show a composite com-posite picture of Valentino, Henry-Ford Henry-Ford and Job." She suggests Valentino's beauty, Fold's money, and Job's patience in a husband. But Henry Ford, with iiis high forehead, is, for an intelligent woman, wo-man, much better looking than Valentino ever was, and he has more patience than Job, who only sat down and complained. Ford works. A woman wants a husband "who can mak love with one hand, and money with the other," says the writer. That is part of clever writing. The reality is that a good woman wants a husband that she can respect, one able to provide for his children, and possesed of loyalty That is not too much to ask. Prof. Carl Stejskal of Vienna discovers a food paste that can be rubbed into the skin, keeping a man alive indefinitely without swallowing food. Of the new food, called dinutron," six ounces rubbed into the skin is enough for one day. And you can take a bath thirty miutes after af-ter the rubbing without losing its nourishing effects. This will discourage hunger strikes in prisons, make possible the feeding of Insane patients who refuse to eat, and will be of great value in certain surgical operations, when food cannot be administered It is believed that dinutron will also be highly valuable In treatment treat-ment of diabetic cases. Different from Vienna's "dinutron" "dinut-ron" is the German "penerometer," which enables policemen and customs cus-toms officials to look into packages and see everything they contain. It is a special X-ray machine, planned to discourage the business of "naziz," and Communists sending send-ing bombs to each other and to outsiders. Rumania's government forbids passage of Soviet cargoes up the Danube. Russia protests to Britain, Brit-ain, France and Italy, and Holland objects to the Danube blockade, well pleased to have Russian goods "dumped" if they are cheap enough. Rumania, living in the shadow of Russia, may be inviting serious trouble in imitating our boyish financiers who underestimate Russia's Rus-sia's power. They might learn from Thomas D. Campbell of Hardin, Mont., a farmer on a big scale, cultivating 300,000 acres producing hundreds of thousands of bushels of wheat a year. Mr. Campbell has directed, for Russia's government, the development develop-ment of a farm that really is a farm. He has under his direction direc-tion 30,000,000 acres that would make a strip fifteen miles wide from San Francisco to New York. And Mr. Campbell says: "The biggest market today for American goods is Russia. And this Russian business would do more to relieve our industrial depression de-pression than i any other single factor. If we take it now, we shall have it for the next fifty years. It is the only foreign business busi-ness available for any manufacturing manufac-turing country today." It is not wise for high-spiritei Rumanians or low-spirited Wall Street men to underestimate Russia. Rus-sia. The Rumanians might lose their territory and Wall Street men might lose their chance to make money. Mothers, nurses, read and remember. re-member. Doctor Jackson, whose specialty is removing foreign bodies from human air and food passages, says babies swallow pins because their mothers set the example. When changing the baby, a mother mo-ther holds safety pins in her mouth. The baby, learning by imitation, as all young animals must, puts safety pins in its mouth. Don't hold pins in your mouth in the presence of babies or young children. William Wrigley, an able business man in a dozen diffrent directions, direc-tions, will buy up to 100,000,0u0 pounds of cotton in the next eight months, if the price does not risa above 12 cents a pound. At that price Mr. Wrigley will accept cotton in payment for all his shipments to the South. Mr. Wrigley says cotton is a good investment at 12 cents and is willing to lock up twelve million dollars worth of his company's resources re-sources in it and hold it indefin-itly. indefin-itly.
