TIME, in its synopsis of medicine (July 22), did not take time to explain fully the A. M. A. Journal's article on mercurochrome. Readers are likely to be left with the impression that the red dye has been shown to be more efficacious than tincture of iodine as an antiseptic. You fail to state that when drug-buyers ask for mercurochrome, they are not getting the tincture, which Miss Hill described as being more bacteriostatic than a 7% tincture of iodine. They are handed instead a 2% aqueous solution, since few places outside of institutions carry the tincture...
...signatures were they?" asked Senator Black. "Well, my mother, a boy friend, a fellow who lives next door-a mechanic- and I got three others."

In the comfortable air of the President's office Governor Talmadge sat down to explain just how terrible it was that the Government was holding up $19,000,000 of Federal highway funds rather than trust their spending to the Georgia Highway Board. As between two practical politicians, couldn't they play ball together? Considering the President's cordiality, it looked as if they...
There is nothing particularly original about Front Page Woman. Nonetheless, brightly written, eminently well played and directed for comedy values by Michael Curtiz, it is distinctly better than average entertainment. Good shot: Ellen Garfield trying to explain to her city editor that her flash on the outcome of the trial was incorrect...
