...Harriet" as an anatomical model was unique (see cut). Foreign savants stopped in Philadelphia to admire her. Generations of medical students learned neurology by tracing her ramifications. She made a special trip to Chicago for the World's Columbian Exposition of 1893. Hahnemann Medical College made Dr. Weaver a professor, gave him a Rufus B. Weaver Anatomical Museum, gave "Harriet" an honored vault. In 1925 he retired from teaching. Last week when arteriosclerosis and his 95 years made him unable to resist longer, Death took Dr. Weaver...
...Hoover is two exceptions. First, he is the only person who graduated from George Washington University and then really amounted to something. Second, he is the only native of the District of Columbia-male native-who has ever amounted to anything. As a graduate of G.W. and an oldtime Columbian I find that the time for G.W. graduates and District natives is in the future, history being rather cruel to them. Maybe Hoover is the first one of us to become great. Helen Hayes showed the D. C. girls the way, now Hoover should be an example for the boys...
United Carbon made $1,872,000 in 1935, against $1,452,000 in 1934. The 1935 profit was best since the company's organization in 1925. Earnings had a distinctly automotive complexion, since this company, along with Columbian Carbon Co., produces about two-thirds of the U. S. supply of carbon black for which the main use is in automobile tires. United Carbon has no preferred stock, last year made $4.70 a common share, sold last week at about 16 times earnings...
...metaphosphate story was narrated to the 50 sightseers last week by the Melon Institute's Director Edward Ray Weidlem, 48, co-author of Science in Action, who next week will receive the Chemical Industry Medal for 1935. They saw samples of Columbian Carbon Co's carbon black for lacquers, which, ground to particles .000001 centimetre in diameter, is so black that it makes other blacks look brown. If any of them had neglected to shave before breakfast, he could have accepted the free-shave offer of the research man for Schick Dry Shaver, Inc who shaves twelve...
...Mitchell lays about him with such infectious vigor that one almost forgets that other archeologists who are interested in the cultures of pre-Columbian America are still agnostic about the origins of the Inca, Aztec and Maya Indian civilizations. And if one looks at a map of the world, one is struck by the vast distances between outposts of Polynesia and America, between Easter Island and Chile, between the Hawaiian Islands and Mexico. Could Polynesians or Chinese, in their small boats or canoes, have traversed such forbidding stretches of water to bring a god of Egyptian origin to Yucatan...
