...hall devoted to "Insults to the Honor of German War Heroes" were several etchings by Draughtsman Otto Dix, who ranks with Grosz for his skilled and brutal memories of trench fighting (TIME, Aug. 6, 1934). Another section oddly entitled "The Mocking of Christianity" displayed Emil Nolde's Christ and the Thieves which the National Gallery in Berlin bought for $10,000 in 1930. There were also "A Peasant Scene from a Jewish Point of View," "The Manifestation of the Soul of the Jewish Race" and a group called "The Derision of the German Women." But the greater part...
...many of them are women. Relief Administrator Harry Hopkins says there are 6,800. "BoxCar Bertha," whose ghost-written autobiography appeared last week, doubles the estimate.

One of the pictures disclosed a pair of handcuffs in the pocket of an attacker (see cut) and from the photographs it seemed likely that the Ford men would be identified. It looked very much as if that brutal beating might hurt Henry Ford as much as it hurt Richard Frankensteen...
...pioneered U. S. psychiatry, Benjamin Rush showed the greatest ingenuity, Dorothea Dix (credited with founding or improving 32 mental hospitals) the greatest energy. Better known to present-day readers is Clifford Beers, whose autobiography, A Mind That Found Itself, published in 1908, created a sensation by exposing his typically brutal treatment in private, endowed and State hospitals during a three-year stay. On the crest of the ensuing public indignation was launched the modern mental hygiene movement, which during the World War received an impetus like neurology in the Civil War. When IQ tests tried out on the Army revealed...
