...Life Insurance Co. of California went into the Los Angeles court of Superior Judge Douglas L. Edmonds. In a 45-minute proceeding the company was, at the request of Commissioner Carpenter, declared insolvent and its assets placed in his care until reorganization could be worked out. In the same breath, a new company called Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Co. (i.e., without the "of California") was formed to take over its predecessor's business under a management headed by old Pacific Mutual's President Alexander Nesbitt Kemp. No sooner had Messrs, Carpenter and Kemp announced details of their reorganization...
...cold mist at Grunau, Washington University's eight-oared crew won the gold medal by half a length over Italy and Germany in a breath-taking finish. In Berlin German gymnasts swung, spun and rolled up the impressive winning total of 657,936 points. While the International Basketball Federation, meeting to see what could be done about making the game satisfactory for the 1940 Olympics at Tokyo, vetoed a proposal to limit the height of basketball players to 5 ft. 8 in., agreed on 6 ft. 3 in., the U.

Last year Physiologist Howard Wilcox Haggard of Yale announced that onion or garlic breath "arises solely from particles retained in the structures of the mouth," could be cured instantly by chloramine, a mouthwash containing chlorine (TIME, July 1, 1935).

Professor Marion Arthur Blankenhorn and Dr. Calvus Elton Richards, both of Cincinnati's General Hospital, were convinced that, when eaten, the essential oils of onion and garlic pass into the blood, are aerated into the lungs and from there breathed out. In proof, they offered the results of an experiment on a patient whose mouth was blocked off from his stomach by a cancer of the esophagus, who could receive nourishment only through a tube in the abdominal wall. Through this tube the experimenters introduced garlic soup. Three hours later the patient's breath began to smell, continued...
Another subject could eat normally, but his respiratory tract had been disconnected from his throat because of laryngeal cancer. This patient's breath was inhaled and exhaled through a tube inserted in the windpipe. Three hours after he ate salad garnished with onion and garlic, the air exhaled through the tube became malodorous. In this instance the breath had no contact with the mouth, throat, esophagus or stomach, must therefore have picked up the contamination in the lungs. Unwilling to trust their own sense of smell entirely, Drs. Blankenhorn & Richards called in technicians, hospital internes and residents...
