Significantly, journal editors throughout the country have raised interested eyebrows, expressed enthusiasm over a new pictorial, which appearing today has already an American demand in excess of 800,000 copies, and 500,000 in European nations. The new magazine, titled "Rising Tide," conveys the message of modern Christianity, as exemplified in the Oxford Group, to men and women in this country and abroad. The Group here attempts to popularize and demonstrate, apparently with success, Christian doctrines for the solution of current industrial and national problems...
Last week Drs. Eugene Lindsay Opie and Jules Freund of Cornell University Medical College reported in the Journal of Experimental Medicine a harmless preventive which they described as just as effective as BCG. They simply killed tubercle bacilli by heat and added heated horse serum. This protects an inoculated individual for one or two years, long enough, noted the doctors, "to influence favorably the delicate balance between asymptomatic or latent infection and progressive manifest disease that is characteristic of human tuberculosis...
Oldest anatomical research institute in the U. S., the Wistar Institute of Anatomy and Biology is housed in a yellow brick, old-fashioned but scrupulously clean building in West Philadelphia.

Offered as "probably the most fearless and revealing of all modern autobiographies," this one is also remarkable for the fact-rare among wives' memoirs-that it contains nothing to embarrass the husband. First published serially in The Ladies' Home Journal (TIME, March 8), and now among the ranking bestsellers, This Is My Story is told without literary pretensions. Several cuts above her columnist style, but with the familiar homely, philosophical asides, This Is My Story traces Mrs. Roosevelt's successful struggle to achieve self-sufficiency, a social conscience, against...
