Impressed, Author Beach wrote an article on "The Pain Killer" which appeared in the August Hearst's International-Cosmopolitan (circulation 1,700,000) with photographs of Dr. Locke, his clinic, his strong hands. Seventeen afternoon Hearst papers (circulation 3,200,000) spread the story...
...cases of infantile paralysis in 46 States of the U. S., two more than in the corresponding week last year.

...Diego's population of 150,000. Last week he invited the 1,300 to behold an omnibus collection of U. S. art. He had picked one picture by each of 49 living U. S. artists, two dead ones. The 1,300 eyed the 51. In August, Director Poland's collection will begin a long itinerary to Honolulu, Pasadena, Santa Barbara, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Phoenix, Denver, Omaha, Kansas City.
