...zaro Cárdenas makes frequent journeys to observe conditions among his people. As tireless a horseman as Roosevelt I, President Cárdenas loves to beat the brush, sometimes leaves his $350,000 Olivo (olive-colored special train) at an obscure siding and gallops off to find the underprivileged. On such occasions local governors are under strict orders that the President is not to be guarded. They know he means it, and they try to keep their troops always just beyond the next hill. A tent is good enough to shelter the President at night, but if the hacienda...
...speech cannot find room enough to vibrate the vocal cords. Then, instead of a healthy, he-man holler, there emerges only a high, husky whisper. Before doctors discovered how to prevent this condition by the use of throat-tubes and toxoids* such stenosis (contraction) of the larynx was a frequent aftereffect of diphtheria and scarlet fever. Today, the largest number of laryngeal deformities is caused by accidents, not by disease...

Their members are frequent victims of that painful deficiency disease, pellagra, with its attendant diarrhea, dementia, dermatitis. Physicians have known for nearly 25 years that small amounts of green vegetables and milk will forestall the disease. But still pellagra continues. In its advanced stages it has been considered incurable, since the patients are unable to ingest the necessary kinds of food...
...lively series on the homely, 100% American problems of the Hardy Family, Love Finds Andy Hardy rises above the standard not only of its predecessors but also of most of its producer's most expensive features. Its numerous faults-the assiduous overacting of Master Mickey Rooney, frequent instances in which bread-&-butter comedy falls butter side down, a misbegotten musical number for a climax-serve mainly to emphasize its cardinal virtue, of preserving intact the mood and flavor of ordinary life in an ordinary U. S. town. Humor of the Hardy family chronicles is based principally on the pleasures...
