...most delicate and stubborn surgical problems is the relief of pain in childbirth. Injection of synthetic, cocaine-like drugs, such as novocain and procaine, into the canal of the spinal cord is objectionable because such injections act on the cord and brain, interfere with the heart. Anesthetics such as ether and nitrous oxide (laughing gas) are harmful because they cause a deficiency of oxygen in the blood streams of mother and child...
Into the cold waters of San Francisco Bay last week went Blackie and Buster Olds, at the same time but from different points. Trainer Roberts trailed behind Blackie, hanging on to a cord attached to his tail. When old Blackie had finished his industrious swim, not only had he beaten Buster Olds but also had come within two minutes and 31 seconds of beating the record...
...banged their heads against the ground, tried to run on their sides, collapsed on the turf. In Massachusetts alone 200 horses died, victims of equine encephalomyelitis. Entirely different are the eastern and western varieties of this disease, although both are caused by viruses which attack the brain and spinal cord, produce inflammation, high fever, and in some localities 100% mortality. Last spring Dr. Ralph Walter Graystone Wyckoff of Lederle Laboratories at Pearl River, N.Y. and Dr. Joseph Willis Beard of Duke University prepared vaccines from chicken embryos which conferred immunity against both types of the disease, and this summer...
Last year the rubber industry bought 283,750,000 lbs. of cotton for use in tires. Therefore when U.S. Rubber Co. and Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. announced last August that they had developed a much stronger tire by using rayon (TIME, Aug. 15), the makers of cotton tire cord were stirred to action. Last week the biggest one of all, Bibb Manufacturing Co. of Macon, Ga., announced the result-a cotton tire cord which it claims has 25% more tensile strength under friction heat developed at high speeds than the old cotton type. A Bibb customer simultaneously announced that tests...
...price war, this was merely revision in line with more efficient production and distribution. In May, FORTUNE estimated that for a $15 Schick Shaver, the motor costs $1 or less; the head, about 50?; case, cord and indirect labor, another $1.25; overhead, advertising and sales, perhaps another $2.50. Total costs then amount to about $5, leaving a neat $10 net for dealer and manufacturer. That Schick, first in the field, should lead in price-cutting was no surprise; that Packard, which has always been out to beard Schick, should cut further was no surprise either. Big surprise was that General...
