Artists Craft Hidden Art Eyes at Iowa Medical Center
Two artists Lee Allen and Howard Webster at the State University of Iowa Medical Center produce about 125 custom artificial eyes each year. Each eye requires nearly two days of work with hand painted irises using dry pigments and a plastic solution. Tiny blood vessels are created with red embroidery thread stitched into the white of the eye.

Multiuse Furniture Stretches Small Living Spaces
Furniture that serves more than one purpose can extend a homemaker's budget and multiply space in small quarters. Tables fold to 18 inches yet seat 12 or more, desks with drop leaves convert for dining and work, and cedar chests double as low tables with hidden storage. Early American style chests reveal a serving area when leaves are raised.
Tripoli Leader survey on space saving furniture ideas
A 1961 Tripoli Leader column offers modern style tips for compact living spaces. It suggests using chest bench storage units as window seats and entry hall accents, repurposing bedroom dressers as main living room pieces, and pairing a low dresser with a centered mirror for balanced decor.
Cattle on Feed May Rally Late Summer Says ISU Expert
Farm Economist Francis Kutish of Iowa State University says a dwindling backlog of heavy cattle on feed could spark a late summer or early fall rally. July 1 totals show only a 2 percent rise in cattle on feed across 26 states, with heavy cattle up 15 percent but largely sold by August. The 900 to 1,000-pound class remains the next major supply, with 6 percent fewer on feed than a year ago, suggesting a market soften then possible price recovery into fall. Kutish expects increased late-year marketing from 700 to 800-pound cattle, though the gain may be tempered by late-market supplies. Government feed grain stocks won’t rise for the first time since 1952, with 1961 production at about 140 million tons vs 168 million last year, supporting livestock production under a pay-in-kind program while reducing surplus.
