...been breathing with lungs for a million years. Men have been studying the lungs's physiology for nearly 5.000 years. But not until Radiologist Alfred Ernest Barclay* took to blowing bismuth and powdered glass down the windpipes of cats was one of the lungs's important protective devices thoroughly studied. Last week his findings were published in the American Journal of Roentgenology...
...walls of most of the throat, of the windpipe and its branches (bronchi and bronchioles) are covered with fine, threadlike filaments called cilia, which continually move, waving their tips with an upward motion. When bismuth powders or pulverized lead glass were blown deep into the lungs of anesthetized cats, Dr. Barclay and his associates found that the dust in dry form remained in the windpipe and its branches, never penetrating into the little sacs (alveoli) which absorb oxygen from the air and eliminate carbon dioxide from the blood. They could see by X-ray the foreign particles moving from...
...President's error in administrative judgment does not, as in the reversed movie, pour the spilt milk back into the glass. The final conclusion of the Committee that Drs. Walsh and Sweezy should be reinstated is unjustified at this late date. If President Conant can be forgiven for making a tactical blunder, it is not so easy to forgive the Committee for declaring that Drs. Walsh and Sweezy should now be reappointed...
...Washington last week, Unemployment Census Director John D. Biggers, whose Libby-Owens-Ford-Glass Co. has contributed to Ohio's relief troubles by discharging 4,000 of its 5,000 Toledo workers, contributed a garish reminder of the size of the relief problem. He released his final figure on the total number of unemployed who registered in last November's census: 7,845,016. This, as he pointed out, is as big as the combined population of Nevada, Wyoming, Delaware, Vermont, New Mexico, Arizona, Idaho, New Hampshire, Utah, Montana, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Maine, Oregon...
...taste lavished on third class, tourist and cabin class alike. Solid, cleanly built furniture, beautiful fabrics, opulent rugs, plenty of light and unobtrusive color harmonies of silver, beige and light yellow were more important to the general effect than the occasional murals and ornamental work in metal, wood and glass. In an apparent effort to make some distinction between tourist and cabin class quarters, the designers gave cabin class passengers a little Coromandel wood and gold. Finest rooms: the theatre, only air-conditioned one afloat, designed by Cornelis J. Engelen and Elisabeth de Boer in the shape of half...
