Sixteen hundred select U. S. doctors who belong to the American College of Physicians saluted a tidy-minded scholar by giving Professor Leo Loeb of Washington University Medical School (St. Louis) a gold medal during their annual meeting in Philadelphia last week. Small, frail, sombre, he rose from his seat to accept the medal, big as his palm, and in return to tell the College a simple chain of endocrine events which may lead to a simple cure for the ugly form of goitre called Graves's Disease. The thyroid may not be appreciably enlarged in a case...
...over the railings to watch the eating & drinking better, were the womenfolk. At the speakers' table big, bluff President Edward Dickinson Duffield took his place, and close to him his good old friend, Dr. Frederick Ludwig Hoffman, Prudential's longtime consultant on vital statistics.

...Jockey Club stewards and other race-track notables, who make a habit of stopping at Max Hirsch's Belmont Park cottage on summer mornings for breakfasts of hot bread and ham & eggs, his frail-looking, sad-eyed 22-year-old daughter is usually called "Miss Mary." She rises at 5, spends the morning at the track, goes to the races in the afternoon, to bed at 9. She owns three dogs: cocker spaniel, pointer and Dalmatian. She wants to stud)' aviation, has never ridden in the show-ring or to hounds. This summer she expects officially to train...
