...Tests indicate that the diagnostician can be more certain than ever before of recognizing a cancer or benign tumor in its early stage," said Inventor Simjian. "Another very important point is that for the first time it becomes possible to illuminate blood vessels." Among other photographic devices invented by Mr. Simjian are a fogged silver screen for projecting microscopic photographs, a self-focusing camera, an automatic developing tank, a system of mirrors and a camera with which a subject can photograph any desired aspect of his face, and a set of mirrors for dress and hat shops inside which...
...months ago Archbishop John Timothy McNicholas of Cincinnati, one of the ablest Roman Catholic prelates in the Midwest, took the lead in forming the Legion of Decency to boycott pictures considered immoral or obscene (TIME, June ii). One day last week the benign, grey-haired Archbishop sat in white cassock and red skullcap on the porch of his Cincinnati suburban residence.

Lately the blatant manifestations of black-shirted British Fascist Sir Oswald Mosley have filled Commander Locker-Lampson with wild alarm. He rose in the House of Commons last week to introduce a bill that would not only deprive Sir Oswald of his uniform, but would strip the shirt from his distinguished mother, the very dignified Katharine...
What of Krupp, now? In theory, Krupp smelts only peaceful ore, and forges its steel only into such benign shapes as locomotives, rails, bridge girders, and others purely industrial. Actually, Krupp is rearming Germany--the discoverable portion of whose annual armament bill now about $80,000,000. Germany, forbidden by the Treaty of Versailles to import armaments, receives generous supplies from Sweden (where Krupp controls the armament firm of Bofors) and Holland; forbidden to Export armaments, she ships to South America, the Far East, or to any European nation that will violate its own treaty by ordering from...
