...Indiana, nine days before, Governor McNutt signed the original "anti-heart balm" bill which Mrs. Roberta West Nicholson introduced in the State Legislature last January (TIME, Feb. 18). Only woman member of the legislature, mother of two and daughter-in-law of Author-Diplomat Meredith Nicholson, she said: "It looks like I've become the standard bearer of a crusade to make the world safe...
...first time in four years may in time permit the U. S. to regain a $150,000,000 Cuban export market, now almost vanished.

Funds ran out and work was dropped...
...foul of his State's governor. President Suzzallo's feud with Washington's Hartley cost him his job (TIME, Oct. 18, 1926). The Iowa legislative committee which in 1931 investigated the State university on charges of maladministration gave President Jessup a thorough whitewash. More than adequate balm for his political wounds came to Henry Suzzallo in 1930 when he was handed a front-rank post in U. S. education - the presidency of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. He kept it until his death last September. Last week in Iowa City, President Jessup surprised...
