...donned a topper and traveled by ferry to little Bedloe Island in New York Harbor. There he joined President Albert Lebrun of France, who spoke by radio from Paris, in celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Statue of Liberty (see p. 27). Said the President, repeating Grover Cleveland's pledge in dedicating the statue: "We will not forget that Liberty has here made her home, nor shall her chosen altar be neglected." Said Herbert Hoover later in Denver: "Two days ago [Mr. Roosevelt] rededicated the Statue of Liberty in New York. She has been the Forgotten Woman...
...Gulf, at Port Arthur, Houston. Mobile and New Orleans, rank & file groups started minor strikes. On the Atlantic, at Boston, Poughkeepsie, Providence there were similar troubles.

Subsequently the Chicago obstetricians discovered that male urine also caused the bitterling to project her ovipositor. This phenomenon was casually accepted at first as more evidence that males harbor chemical as well as emotional traces of femininity in their constitutions. When the urine of an occasional nonpregnant woman was discovered to be stimulating to the bitterling, experimenters admitted themselves bewildered. The bitterling lost her standing and the doe rabbit and mouse were reinstated as nature's best indicators of human pregnancy. But Obstetricians Kanter and Klawans pursued the matter with another research mate, Physiologist Broda Otto Barnes, secured further...
