...half-bald and bushily mustached culprit thus honored by so informal a trial, was Dr. J. B. S. Haldane, a former reader in biochemistry at Cambridge University, a noted scientist recently much in the public eye*. His experiments and prophecies concerning ectogenesis (laboratory birth) long gave the impression that he believed birth by woman would eventually be done away with. It was therefore with consternation that his friends saw him named as corespondent in an uncontested divorce suit last December. At once the "Sex Viri" of Cambridge ousted him from his readership. His trial last week was an appeal from...
Macroscopically (to the naked eye) the whole brain is divided crosswise into two unequal, grossly wrinkled parts. The rear and lower part is the cerebellum, the chief duty of which is to regulate the automatic reflexes and movements, such as walking. The upper and fore part is the cerebrum, where thinking is done. It is by far the larger...
...locations of the brain functions in each lobe may be roughly placed as follows: At the forward end is the higher psychical centre, just back of the eyebrows and forehead, and running back to about the temples. An injury to an eye or a frontal sinus may puncture this centre, but is not always fatal. Somewhat higher up and a trifle before the temple is the speech centre. Just above that is that of the head. Ahead of the head centre is that of the eyes. Back of these latter two and going in a sort of band from...

A senatorial committee for investigation of the United States Tariff Commission has just been formed.

The Commission, it is charged, has lost its non-partisan, independent character and has become a tool in the hands of the present administration...
...whimsy it once possessed. People here are like the lady who whispered to the friend with the rattling program, "Now they are all dead, and we know they are all dead, we can laugh at the funny places." And the funny places are the crude places. Only the occasional eye notices the delicate nuances of character, wishes to notice them. Yet it is for such that Sutton Vane wrote his play--and it is for such that the Copley players are producing it. So one must credit them with a task, verging on the impossible--a task so often ably...
