...Baker started a newspaper to air his opinions. Science's anonymous contributor quoted an editorial printed this month in the A. M. A. Journal: "By some of the strange influences known only to politicians, President Hoover was induced to apply to a pushbutton in Washington the presidential digit, thereby giving to the presses in Muscatine the electrical juice necessary to induce motion, whereby inked rollers applied to paper aided still further the dissemination of Baker's notions and nostrums. . . . Somewhere, somehow, some secretary succeeded in precipitating the President of the United States into a situation that awaits explanations...
...that with 6% of the world's population, the U. S. has 70% of its life insurance. James Lee Loomis, president of The Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Co. of Hartford said $108,500,000, 000 life insurance will be in force at the end of the year?first twelve-digit figure of U.

Although at an important crisis he mistakes Mr. Barrymore for a wax dummy, this animal adds enormously to what would otherwise remain a not very startling reiteration of the Jekyll-Hyde theme complicated by stupid detectives...
...graduates and non-graduates has been phenomenal. In the ordinary course of common-place events, a present of five hundred thousand dollars marks at the very least a red letter day on the institutional calendar; but when one has become accustomed to speaking carelessly in terms of millions, any digit with a following of less than six ciphers seems almost trivial. Of the ten million dollars originally hoped for by the sponsors of the present University drive, over eight have been subscribed. Princeton has been equally successful, and Yale has just received another gift of half a million...
