...receiverships last week made news: ¶ Studebaker Corp., famed automakers of South Bend, Ind. were put in receivership, but not by the slow and common process of financial decay. Considering the general state of the automobile business, Studebaker had not done badly (loss for the first nine months of 1932 was $4,390,000). Last week it claimed assets exceeding liabilities by over $70,000,000. It entered a friendly receivership for technical reasons. Last autumn Studebaker attempted to acquire White Motor Co.

They took leaves of absence from West China Union University to prove their theory on rats at the University of Toronto, their alma...

If a baby takes too much calcium from its mother. she must replenish her supply by eating calcium-bearing foods. Otherwise her teeth may decay, her bones ache, her resistance to disease decline. Thus calcium (lime) is the mineral which cooks must closely watch. For most people it is more important than a dish of blood-renewing liver...
...world's future population. From England wrote Major Leonard Darwin, 82, eugenist son of Evolutionist Charles Darwin: "My firm conviction is that if widespread eugenic reforms are not adopted during the next hundred years or so, our Western civilization is inevitably destined to such a slow and gradual decay as that which has been experienced in the past by every great ancient civilization...
