Dr. Frank R. Morton, ` Standard Oil Co. of Ind, 910 S. fsilchlgan Ave., Chicago, 111. Dear Dr. Morton: Through an indirect channel a story has come to me in the last several days concerning an Injury to a man, supposedly an employee of the Standard Oil Company of Indiana at Western Springs, Illinois, who Is said to have lost his sight because of the accidental spraying of Ethyl Gasoline Into his eyes. It has been reported that the entire community was excited over the matter, being convinced that the trouble was largely due to ETHYL fluid In gasoline. I wonder if this incident has come to your at tention, and if you could give me any further Informa tion as to this occurrence and its results. Many of these stories turn out to be rather wild, but I am at tempting to Investigate all of such instances as come to my attention, whether wild or hot, so that 1 would be very glad fbr any information you can give me. With kindest regards, Very truly yours, RAKsET "M ; K -. / :o;
