...serious diseases has soared: 1) tuberculosis among young women; 2) industrial poisoning, mostly in munitions factories. ^ So far, no serious dietary deficiency diseases have been observed, although Sir Wilson is sure they will turn up in the future. Although all food is scarce, only the following are rationed: meat, bacon, butter, margarine, cheese, tea, sugar, jam.* All persons must register for milk; mothers and infants get a pint a day, schoolchildren a little more. Although this is low, it is actually more than most of them got before the war, said Sir Wilson. His great worry, he said last week...
...Probably the most swashbuckling group of two-gun capitalists that ever pulled a bootstrap, its 35 members include George J. O'Brien, treasurer of Standard Oil Company of California; Roy Bronson, attorney for Aluminum Company of America; Charles S.

Embiricos, 32, Greek-born director of a London shipping firm, and Mrs. Eleanor Young, 23 (ex-Mrs. Robert Ogden Bacon Jr., ex-Manhattan glamor girl), had taken off from Newport, R.I. in a Fairchild monoplane to fly to New York. At Matunuck, twelve miles down the coast, amateur Pilot Embiricos circled, found a rift in the fog, nosed downward for a landing. As he leveled off, a wave slapped the wings, and the plane crashed in shallow water. Embiricos died...
