...Dawes Plan. In fairness to Germany it must be remembered that the Fatherland was stripped of colonies after the War, and thus deprived of raw materials which would very materially have assisted debt payment. It is conceivable that in German East Africa alone there may eventually be found enough gold, copper, coal and oil to pay the whole reparations bill. It is but natural that Dr. Schacht should cast eyes upon these resources, that he should remember East Prussia, now cut off from Germany by the "corridor" which Poland was given to connect her with the sea. On the other...
...causing a civic demonstration. Fully one-quarter of Worcester's total population (197,600) is foreign-born and mostly French or French-Canadian. Of Worcester's four daily newspapers, one, l'Opinion Publique, is printed in French. When ce brave Monsieur Claudel arrived in Worcester, he found 30,000 cheering citizens waiting for him. Assumption College was M. Claudel's chief host, but Assumption College under the Massachusetts laws can only give a B. A. degree. An ambassador should certainly be honored with not less than an LL.D. So Clark University, which is also in Worcester...
...came from Cleveland's Dr. George Washington Crile. He considers that every living cell is a tiny electrical cell, that the body is a battery with the brain the positive pole and the liver the negative pole (TIME, Aug. 30. 1926). Last week he reported that he had found that every living cell has a definite electrical potential, or tension; that as that potential decreases the cell becomes enfeebled until it dies. When an electric current with a potential opposite to that of a cell is passed through it, then that cell dies. The cell's potential depends...
...Alexis Carrel of the Rockefeller Institute provided a generally acceptable explanation and description of cancer cells. Those malignant cells, he has found, do not grow faster than normal cells. Nor do they have more growth energy. Nor are they necessarily diseased. They do, however, differ from normal cells in their physiological properties. Chief difference is the fact that they use nitrogen. The nitrogen they get from proteins or protein-split products. And of those the body has an unlimited store. That is why cancer cells can multiply (not grow in size) so rapidly...
...document affirming their refutation signed by Engineer Johnson. Now, for some curious reason he has spoken again. Nebraskans recalled that Engineer Johnson had not been allowed to build the capitol, that Architect Goodhue had let the contracts and dominated the construction.* This time the capitol commission and other defendants found it easier to combat Engineer Johnson for the capitol had arisen in the prairie and offered tangible evidence. Potent among the defendants was Manhattan Architect Francis L. S. Mayers of the firm of Mayers, Murray and Phillip (Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue Associates), successors to Architect Goodhue. Mr. Mayer's firm...
