...crony of Stalin, Kaganovich has lately been winning his boss around to buying some Russian railway equipment. Meanwhile, however, he had to perform the impossible to keep Stalin's favor, had to load more Russian freight cars than could be loaded-unless. This "unless" was Comrade Kaganovich's inspiration, his stroke of Bolshevik genius. Seeing that freight car loadings could not be increased unless passenger service, already inadequate, was ruthlessly curtailed, the Commissar for Transport has been busy reducing the number of Russian passenger trains, cutting out sleeping cars except those used by foreign tourists, slashing the number...
...Manchuria the Japanese regularly load trains with seeds, cinemas, drygoods, hardware and propagandists, dispatch them to the back districts for the edification of incredulous Chinese. In the U. S. railroad peddling has been largely confined to private cars in which crack executives tour the land, scatter cheer to underlings and big customers. Last autumn Chairman Winthrop Aldrich of Chase National Bank led a long goodwill mission around the borders of the U. S. in a private car with his nephew Nelson Rockefeller as Exhibit A (TIME, Dec. 24). But not until last fortnight when Chicago's Marshall Field...
...diseases like angina pectoris, in which strong emotions play a part. Reason: the intelligent person understands and worries about his condition, and it gets worse; the madman has no such worries.

With the peak load of epidemics likely to rise to five times the normal capacity of the building, it would seem that the duty of Harvard to the student body ended when it provided medical offices and an infirmary as a clearing house. Physicians capable of swift, expert analysis at Holyoke House and ward facilities for non-major aliments such as colds, laryngitis, and the like would fulfill the college's responsibility. Contagious diseases, major operations--such as appendicitis--and infectious skin cases should be referred by the medical advisers to the proper Boston hospital...
Rheumatic Fever & Spinach. Dr. James Fleece Rinehart of San Francisco found new ailments which attack human beings unless they load themselves with spinach and other sources of Vitamin C. One of the diseases is rheumatic fever, dread disease which sometimes leaves the hearts of children so leaky that all the rest of their lives they must avoid exertion. The other disease is rheumatoid arthritis (swelling and pain in the joints, particularly in the knees, elbows, wrists). That streptococci most probably cause rheumatic fever has long been suspected. Dr. Charles William Wainwright of Baltimore offered evidence that the streptococcus also...
