...cancer cells of the type called Ehrlich sarcoma are ground up, made into an emulsion and injected beneath the skins of mice, the animals invariably die. Drs. Alexandre Besredka and Ludwik Gross of the Pasteur Institute in Paris made small, weak doses of finely minced sarcoma tissue, injected them not beneath but in the skins of mice. In most of the animals metastases (cancer colonizations elsewhere in the body) took place and death followed. But in 10% the skin tumor caused by the injection dried up and disappeared and thereafter the mice were immune to that type of sarcoma...
...embarrassing solution" was the work of Polish-born Relativist Ludwik Silberstein, 63, of Toronto. Albert Einstein, convinced that Nature is not divided into compartments, wants to confine charged and uncharged particles, gravity and light within a single geometrical framework. Some time ago he concocted relativistic field equations in which particles were treated as "singularities" in the field. Dr. Silberstein carried this out for a two-particle problem, found that, though all stress between the particles disappeared, they remained stationary. Since either Newtonian or Einsteinian gravity would require them to fall together, this seemed to be a reductio ad absurdum...
...League. The next problem in Koki Hirota's busy week was what to do about Dr. Ludwik Rajchman. So glaring are the things that the League of Nations ills to do that the world is apt to forget the practical international charity which the League attempts.
