...great California fortune came to San Francisco's late Senator James Duval Phelan when he was 21. When he died in 1930, aged 69, he left $20,000 to Tennist Helen Wills Moody, $20,000 to Author Gertrude Atherton, scores of other bequests to natives whose brain or brawn had reflected credit on his beloved state.* Last week another of the Senator's benefactions posthumously bore fruit when the San Francisco Art Association awarded the first $2,000 Phelan Traveling Scholarship to Helen Elizabeth Phillips, a young sculptor who in all her 23 years has never been outside...

Instead of a psalm, the mourners sang Though All Should Prove Unfaithful, anthem of Nazidom's elite Schutzstaffel (Black Shirts), whose chief...
...Fishbein last week was thrombocyto-penic purpura. Victims of this condition are constantly in danger of suffering a gush of blood from any of the orifices of the body. Without apparent cause or warning blood is likely to accumulate in a puddle somewhere under their skin, in the brain, in the adrenal glands. Disease renders capillary walls abnormally permeable to blood by simultaneously thinning the blood and capillary walls. Hemorrhage is due to wholesale escape of blood through the walls of those capillaries. According to one of the articles which Dr. Fishbein published last week, one treatment for thrombocytopenic purpura...
