...repeated statement that the revision of German liabilities at a definite and presumably somewhat reduced figure would not necessarily involve a similar readjustment of Allied indebtedness to the U. S. Said Agent Gilbert, in the manner of President Coolidge: "The reparation question is an entirely independent problem concerning only European nations and has no relation to the debts of the various countries to the United States...
...nitrite decreased the dizziness and "seasick" feeling of subjects after they had been rapidly rotated. Believing that seasickness is caused by overstimulation of the labyrinth of the ear by the constant changing motion of boats, they decided to give sodium nitrite a public trial. Dr. Hayden had planned a European trip; he made the liner his laboratory. During a tempestuous passage he rounded up 16 tormented travelers. After each had been given a well-known treatment (subcutaneous injections of epinephrine chloride), he started his experiment. To eight he gave three to five grains of sodium nitrite every two hours...

But it has recently been discovered that numbers, in themselves meaningless, can carry...

The illustrations in these manuscripts are often valuable as works of art, aside from the literary merit of the works. We have a collection of about 200,000 medals, many of them famous historically. Our periodical department is quite extensive, and we have several newspaper reading rooms. One of these is intended principally for Americans...
