Synthetic Insulin. John J. Abel and H. Jensen of Johns Hopkins reported that they had reduced insulin (hormone which controls the body's sugar) to crystals of relatively simple chemical content. In the crystals they found 3% sulphur, considerable nitrogen, five different ameno-acids. They are working to identify remaining insulin crystal constituents. When that is done they feel that they can make synthetic insulin much cheaper than the present animal product. Insulin is one of the four hormones so far isolated. Of the others: adrenalin, thyroxin and pituitrin...
Production is to start this winter in Palestine. A troupe of religiously mixed actors is to leave Manhattan in October. On schedule are 100 two-reel stories, some with dialog, some without. Some titles: "Abel, the Shepherd of Eden," "Joseph, the Vizier of Egypt," "David, the Shepherd King," "Ruth, the Widow of Moab," "Isaiah, the Poet-Prophet of Israel...
Chairman Harold McMillan Bixby of the St. Louis Chamber of Commerce knows how irked Charles Augustus Lindbergh becomes when he hears the song, "Lucky Lindy," by Abel Zaer. Last week, Mr. Bixby told that at a Lindbergh party in Manhattan, he and others sang "Lucky Lindy" at Col. Lindbergh on purpose. Col. Lindbergh made no comment.

The blue-shirted New York team were picked to win this year because they were fast and clever, because their centre, Frank Boucher, is the smartest poke-checker in the game, because their two bald defense men, Ivan ("Ching") Johnson and Clarence ("Taffy") Abel, are heavy and efficient, because Bill Cook, who skates with the rhythm of a moose running, is the highest-paid team captain in the National Hockey League, because Bun Cook, his brother who looks like Lindbergh and is engaged to be married, is surpassed as a skater only...
...trying to discredit Candidate Smith and Tammany Hall as vicious, grafting plug-uglies. Mayor James J. Walker of New York City,* with 36 pairs of spats and a plenitude of evening shirts, morning shirts, afternoon shirts and silk pajamas instead of nightshirts, all most exquisitely cared for by Robert Abel, English valet, last week set out for the Mardi Gras at New Orleans. The theory: the Midwest may think what it has a mind to about Tammany Hall, but what the South thinks of Tammany is important. At Baltimore, Tammany's dandy lived up to his word that...
