...asking for a submission of the Prohibition question to State referenda. Hitherto the Legion's Dry element has blocked similar measures by raising a point of order, declaring that Prohibition is not the Legion's business. This time National Commander Ralph T. O'Neil from the bone-Dry State of Kansas was prepared. Banging on the Legion's miniature Liberty Bell with his gavel, said he: "Anticipating that question I have asked the [Legion's] National Judge Advocate [Scott W. Lucas] to advise me whether, in his opinion, the introduction of this subject would...
Horse Doctor. William Francis Doyle was graduated from the New York American Veterinary College in 1889. For 19 years he tended the ring bone and spavin of Brooklyn carriage horses, got in with the politically right people.

But Mayor Hylan made him Chief...
...ancient slab of bone, shaped and curved like a cupped hand, gave Australian anatomists imaginative play last week. The bone was found recently near the Jervois Mountains in southern Australia.

...Institute of the University of Pennsylvania, a onetime worker at the Rockefeller Institute, won the gold medal for his demonstration of experimental leucemia. Leucemia is a blood disease closely resembling cancer. The blood contains abnormally vast numbers of white blood cells. Usually the spleen and liver are hugely enlarged. Bone marrow is usually affected. Dr. Furth isolated a virus from leucemic chickens. The virus stimulated leucemia in other chickens. He got a virus from leucemic mice, which affected other mice deleteriously. Presumably a virus causes human leucemia. Chicken virus does not affect mice, nor vice versa. Dr. Furth demonstrated...
...Manhattan Lowell Fess, 35, son of bone-dry U. S. Senator Simeon Davison Fess, chairman of the Republican National Committee, appeared in magistrate's court, shielding his face with a straw hat, having passed the early morning hours in a lockup. He heard himself charged with disorderly conduct, heard that he "while intoxicated did use abusive and profane language and attempted to take the officer's baton." He had, moreover, shouted to the desk sergeant in the police station: "I'm going to burn you all up for this! Wait till you hear from the Senator from...
