There is, naturally enough, a comic-strip incompetent artist, the variant of the impoverished count, who serves as the specious attraction for the foolish young woman who misses the sublety of her husband's quiet charm. This one can't even elope with the wife on the husband's money, because he doesn't know how to open his new billfold. He is ably played by Guido Nadzo, and the foolish young thing by Lillian Emerson. But whenever Mr. Young is off the stage, the audience is manifestly waiting for him to come back...
Publisher Saunders had Artist Thomas Cromwell Corner paint a portrait of Artist Brödel wearing the sort of rumpled blue suit which Johns Hopkins medicos have seen him wear for 44 years. And at a jolly party in Philadelphia last week Mr. Saunders presented the portrait, to be hung in Johns Hopkins near the famed Sargent picture of the Four Doctors† who organized that medical school...
Johns Hopkins' Max Brödel considers one of his finest works of art a picture of an unborn child cradled in a pelvis (see cut). Gynecologist Howard Kelly taught Artist Brödel this phase of medical art. Dr. Kelly-just turned 80 and the only survivor of the Four Doctors-attended last week's dinner.

It was designed by an enthusiastic artist named Earl C. Liston. It costs $5,000, about $1,000 more than an ordinary chamber, but it is worth it. With its hydrocyanic gas, it can kill two humans at a time, quickly, efficiently, without any mess. Says Earl Liston, with a craftsman's pride: "Our calculations show that this new chamber should snuff out the life in about 15 seconds...
