Weak Hearts & Oxygen. Several types of heart disease can be helped by keeping the patient in atmosphere of 40% to 50% oxygen, reported Dr. Alvan Leroy Barach of Manhattan.* The excess oxygen increases the amount of blood the heart pumps each beat and thus aids the flow of blood through hardened arteries, or it helps maintain circulation when the heart is jolted by a blood clot plugging a blood vessel. The oxygen treatment relieves shortness of breath, lowers pulse rate, improves appetite, aids elimination of body poisons. It does not help tuberculosis of the lungs...
Diabetes Criteria. Thousands of people who have not diabetes are being treated for it and refused life insurance because of it, asserted Dr. John Ralston Williams of Rochester, N. Y. Excess sugar in the blood is no positive criterion of the disease, he said.

...better acquaintance with the CRIMSON files would probably show that two or three years ago a Harvard Debating team speaking in Boston met a team representing the University of Oregon, speaking in Oregon, at that early time "spanning the Continent."

Debating over the radio, as the Chicago debate was not the first to show, entails a sacrifice. The speaker stands in a studio before a machine, his audience imaginary, all personal contact lost, his time hopelessly...
...strikingly failed to carry it in its face. The cost of building having fallen, a prudent corporation is talking of putting up the memorial chapel. Some of the children are bawling in the college papers with that zeal which sounds so funny to their elders, long vaccinated against any excess of that quality. Cambridge and Boston are chock full of churches. What's the use of building a church where nobody wants to go? A building with some athletic object, an infirmary for the martyrs of sport, would be laudable. But a church? Who goes to church? Religion is played...
