RABBITS' EYES TO MAKE RADIO

BLIND PEOPLE SEE

SURGEON TO GIVE

RESULTS

OF

EXPERIMENTS

Thousands of blind human beings, many of whom have been sightless since birth, will, it is expected, be able to see through the eyes of rabbits in the near future.

Mr. J. W. Tudor Thomas, the Cardiff eyegrafting surgeon, has been trying for several years to breed rabbits which have corneas large enough for grafting on diseased human eyes.

These experiments, it is understood, have been successful, and it is believed that Mr. Thomas will shortly announce the results of his experiments to the medical profession.

'OFF WITH THE OLD LOVE' HUSBANDS

ATTACKED BY M.P.S

(By William Barkley)

The House of Conimons provided an unusually in- teresting Friday discussing a Bill to stop husbands disinheriting their widows and children.

It was introduced by Mr. J.S. Holmes (Lib. Nat.-Har- wich), who said

"It will stop such cases as that of a man who has been married for twenty years to a woman who has given him the best years of her life suddenly making a will in favour of some young woman who has swept him off his feet, thus leaving his widow and children destitute."

Major Dower (Penrith-Conís.) opposed the BHL. He admitted such hard cases. "A devoted wife."
