...offer the kiddies. There's one more sweet, this time wrapped in technicolor celluloid. It involves a music box, a lot of people dancing in masquerade, and a freckled little girl in pigtails and pajamas, among other inedible. But it's only a short--just enough time for a cigaret in the large, well-lighted lobby...
...public." Its Journal has fought to raise and preserve medical ethics-and has always been suspicious of newfangled notions. In 1871 an A.M.A. president found women "totally unfit" to be doctors (the first woman was admitted to A.M.A. five years later).

Four days after Washington's dictum, millions of American-looking Russian cigarets were flooding Berlin at 2½ marks apiece-half the price of U.S. cigarets...
...queue started to form in front of Barry's Jewelry Store in Glendale, Calif. By noon, when the doors opened, there were 3,000 in line. Waiting for them were twelve regular and eight extra clerks, one uniformed policeman, one private detective. Waiting, too, were electric clocks, cigaret lighters, liquor sets-18,500 items in all. Retail value ran from $2 to $50. But for each item the price was only 18?, in honor of Barry's 18th anniversary...
