...sooner finished fishing in Mexico's Pacific backyard last week than Secretary Hull sent Mexico a note about expropriation-without-compensation. The document was remarkable not only for force and color unusual in the State papers of Cordell Hull,* but because it was really many notes in one- carbon copies to all Latin-American neighbors and a copy to the U.

...aviation, this foolproof ocean-spanning plane had been forced down, that contingency was provided for, too. Aboard were two inflatable rubber rafts, with stocks of water, "nose cups" to condense breath into emergency water supply, concentrated rations, a can opener. To inflate the rafts there were cylinders of carbon dioxide covered with woolen jackets, and a supply of canvas gloves with which to handle them, since compressed carbon dioxide freezes its container when expanding. Linked with a long towline, the rafts would float together until help could come. To call for help there was a waterproof, 10-inch square...

...bismuth powders or pulverized lead glass were blown deep into the lungs of anesthetized cats, Dr. Barclay and his associates found that the dust in dry form remained in the windpipe and its branches, never penetrating into the little sacs (alveoli) which absorb oxygen from the air and eliminate carbon dioxide from the blood. They could see by X-ray the foreign particles moving from the base of the lungs up & out. The movement they discovered was spiral and (viewed from above) clockwise. Particles traveled 1½ inches per minute within a cat's windpipe. When administered...

The carbon particles he declares "disappear rapidly from the blood stream after their injection and are found lodged in the various organs: first and above all in the lungs, but also in the spleen and liver and, to a less extent, in the bone marrow and kidneys where the endothelial cells seem to absorb them. The carbon particles do not cause any local reaction. ... In short, it may be stated with assurance that this new anti-infectious agent-the intravenous...
