Founder of professional football in the U. S. and organizer of both its major leagues is a 60-year-old general practitioner with offices at Broadway & 103rd Street, Manhattan, named Dr. Harry Addison March. Dr. March grew up in Canton, Ohio, played football at Mt. Union College in 1893, became a reporter for the Canton Repository. When William McKinley, a friend of his Army officer father, campaigned for the Presidency, Reporter March joined him, followed him to Washington, landed a job there as $7-a-week assistant to Dramatic Critic Channing Pollock. When McKinley advised him that newspaper reporters were...
...Harold Lawrence Mason and his associates at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota are trying to isolate, determine the chemical structure of, and eventually synthesize the potent hormone cortin, secreted by the suprarenal glands. Cortin maintains the potassium, sodium and urea balance of the blood; without it man develops Addison's disease and dies. Last week the Mayo researchers announced isolation of a pure crystalline substance which seems to be a close cousin of cortin. The crystal molecule contains 21 atoms of carbon, 28 of hydrogen, five of oxygen. It seems to have the same effect on animals as impure...
...Bureau of Biological Survey, State Game Commissioners and conservation societies. In 1932 one M. E. Bogle, reputed originator and longtime ringleader of the racket, was indicted in Western Tennessee, fined $1,800, given a suspended sentence of 18 months.

Happy were quail protectors, for the Walley brothers, alleged proteges of Bogle, were reputed to be topnotchers in the Mississippi racket. Jailed in Chicago on charges of conspiracy...
There followed one minute of devotional silence. Then Representative Guyer, onetime high-school principal, onetime judge, onetime mayor of Kansas City, Kans., presented the Republican tribute to the dead. He quoted Felicia Hemans, Tennyson, Shakespeare (twice), Joseph Addison, William Cullen Bryant, William Winter. He drew on three foreign tongues: from Dante, Lasciate ogni speranza, voi ch'entrate; from Bishop Jean Baptiste Massillon's funeral oration over Louis Quatorze, Dieu seul est grand; from a "lucid saying" of the Romans, Sic transit gloria mundi. Two he translated for the benefit of his less cultured colleagues...
...Charlie Chan's Secret" is rather disappointing to a Charlie Chan fan. We are afraid it would be a kindness to retire the noted detective before he comes to an ignominious end. It seems as though, Warner Oland would understand Addison's feeling that he would rather kill Sir Roger than have someone else disgrace...
