...Willis-for-President rally on the evening of March 7, where Hardin, Allen, Hancock, Logan, Putnam, Anglaize and many other fine counties in the state will be represented and do some "booming" for Willis, something which seems to hurt TIME terribly. There is not a thug, saloon parasite, grafter, bootlegger, and not a "big wet" in the state of Ohio who will not welcome with glee the slurs which TIME has spread out before the people. If I am not mistaken, the thousands of women voters in Ohio who know that Willis has fought for their homes and firesides against...

Physiologists convening in Stockholm all but forgot other topics in a furore created by Dr. Serge Voronoff, famed gland-grafter. Last fortnight, Dr. Voronoff told Frenchmen about his extra-heavy three-glanded Algerian rams (TIME, Aug. 9). To his Swedish hosts he revealed that he had grafted within Nora, a mature female chimpanzee, the sex organs of a human female. Then, with assistance from Dr. Elie Ivanoff of Moscow, he had artificially impregnated Nora with human sperms. She was to bear her baby in January and it would be, biologically, a human child. To date, she was progressing normally...
