Cincinnati's chief knight, Col. William Cooper Procter, last week witnessed the dedication of his Children's Hospital Pediatric Research Clinic.

Tuskegee attempts to better the quality of local livestock: it will swap a pedigreed cow, chicken, hog with a farmer, take in exchange his meaner stock for its larder. Tuskegee sponsors the only clinic in the U. S. where Negro doctors may meet and discuss their special problems; last week 300 Negro physicians & surgeons attended the annual meeting...
