...Eire, who barked long and hard about the Nazis' repeated violations of Danzig's Constitution, Commissioner Burckhardt has uttered public words in Danzig only once and then subtly to quote from an inscription on a Danzig building: "The high things must be kept high and the low things low." His hearers could only guess at his allusions, but among the "low" things which took place in Danzig in violation of the Constitution were the suppression by local Nazis of opposition parties and the imprisonment of Socialist, Catholic and Jewish (though not Polish) enemies.

Enter Goring. Since General Goring took control of the entire German economy in 1936, the Nazis have made some progress towards their goal of Wartime self-sufficiency in Central and Eastern Europe. Low-grade iron ores are being worked by the State-owned Hermann Goring Iron Works; by 1940 the Nazis expect that perhaps 35% of the iron consumption of Great Germany will be supplied from domestic sources. Aluminum from bauxite imported from Hungary and the Balkans is supplementing heavier metals, such as copper and nickel. Artificial rubber sufficient for 25 to 30% of the peacetime rubber requirements is being...
There are some 3,000,000 battery-run radio sets in the U. S. today, most of them operating on 2-volt tubes designed in 1930 to operate on heavy-duty, "air cell" batteries. Key to the 1938-39 portable is a low-drain, 1.4-volt tube developed last year. This tube, requiring slightly less "A" voltage and only 90 (instead of 135) volts for the "B" circuit, uses about one-third as much current as the 2-volt tube...

At the same time the patients were placed on the traditional low-water diet, to dehydrate their brains and allow a greater volume of blood within their skulls. Within two months, all but one of the patients were completely free from attacks...
...attacks, he was taken out on a high-school party to celebrate a successful football season, and broke his training by gorging himself on pop, ice cream, and hot dogs. Within five days, in spite of his well-developed physique, he had three epileptic seizures. A return to his low-water diet ended his attacks, and he has had none since...
