...Calmette-Guérin vaccine that Manhattan's Dr. Park referred last week. The U. S. profession has been skeptical of its value, although Drs. Calmette and Guérin have tested it with apparent success on more than 100,000 French infants. Rumanian, German, and English experience have confirmed the discoverers' assertions and experience.

Although it was a damp, warm day of Capricorn summer, a breeze rumpled the thick greenery around Apia. At anchor rode the brigantine-rigged wooden yacht Carnegie. Built in 1909 to study all the things that the Carnegie Institute thinks man should know about the sea, the Carnegie was made a unique ship: not an ounce of magnetic material in her hull or aboard her. Even her 150-h. p. auxiliary motor was built of nonmagnetic stuff...
