There, as many as 200 Chicago-bound barges were stalled at one time this fall as the water in the lower sill, diminished by the four-year drought in the Mississippi Valley (TIME, Dec. 17), fell from its normal (9 ft.) level to a bottom-scraping 6 ft., thus forcing the carriers to lighten their...

With encouraging answers to both questions, Dr. Bailey got a supply of May curettes: metal tubes, only one-sixteenth of an inch in diameter, nine inches long, with a nick filed halfway through at one end. On Oct. 29 he was ready for his first patient...
