...small, carp-like fish could tell whether or not a woman was going to have a baby (TIME, Jan. 7, 1935). Called bitterling, the female fish has a small tube protruding from her underside. When the bitterling is about to lay eggs, the tube lengthens and enables her to deposit her ova in the siphon of a fresh water mussel, among whose gills they ripen and hatch. Drs. Aaron Elias Kanter, Carl Philip Bauer & Arthur Herman Klawans of the University of Chicago discovered that a bitterling will stretch her ovipositor, whether or not she needs to lay eggs...

He himself likes its tariff policies, its securities and stock exchange regulation, its bank deposit insurance, its handling of strikes and championship of Labor. He approves of public works, regulation of public utilities (including government "yardsticks"), easy farm and home credit and a more equitable distribution of the nation's wealth. Strong for social security, he considers the New Deal's system unjust...
Very little of this was believed in fiscal Paris. Up went eyebrows as M. Auriol made provision for labor union and employer association delegates to sit ultimately in the councils of the Bank of France, threatened Frenchmen who have funds abroad with confiscation of equivalent funds unless the foreign deposit is reported to the Government, and implied that his "Baby Bonds" had better find quick buyers-or else.
