...little, in-page book was written by Dr. Arthur Marston Stimson, medical director of the Public Health Service. Designer was young Robert Brouse Thorpe Schmuck, who inserted graphic photographs of malaria victims, battered privies (see cut), rotting carcasses of animals...
...spectators were especially eager to see the performance of Joan Tozzer, 17, defending champion, and Audrey Peppe, 20, who lost the title last year by the heart-breaking margin of 1 10 of a point. Joan Tozzer, blueblood, blonde daughter of Harvard's Anthropology Professor Alfred Marston Tozzer, is a letter-perfect skater of school figures (which count two-thirds in determining a national champion). Audrey Peppe (pronounced peppy), petite vivacious niece of Beatrix Loughran, national figure-skating champion in 1925-26-27 is famed for her spectacular free skating (self-selected routines, which count one-third in determining...
...Dawson between 1912 and 1914. Piltdown was placed in a separate genus (Eoanthropus) of the human family, of which Homo sapiens is only a species; he was considered to be 100,000 to 300,000 years old. Not long ago a London dentist and amateur archeologist named Alvan T. Marston found in gravel at Swanscombe, Kent some human skull fragments which he thought to be of antiquity comparable with the Piltdown skull (TIME, Oct. 12, 1936). Academic anthropologists at first paid him no heed. But when the Swanscombe relic was examined under scholastic auspices, it was seen...
When the judges' decisions-tabulated, computed and checked by specially hired mathematicians-were announced, top score (521.6 points) went to long-legged, 16-year-old Joan Tozzer, last year's junior champion, daughter of Harvard's famed Anthropology Professor Alfred Marston Tozzer. But close on her white-shod heels (517.5 points) was vivacious, Audrey Peppe (pronounced peppy) of Manhattan. So eager is Miss Peppe to follow the figure-eights of her aunt, Beatrix Loughran, who held the title in 1925-26-27, that she went abroad last summer to study under Sonja Henie's skating instructor...
Last year a London dentist and archeologist named Alvan T. Marston found a primitive skull fragment in the gravel at Swanscombe, Kent. Few months later a bigger piece, the left parietal bone, was discovered. In his latest report to Nature Dr. Marston stated that his skull is more primitive in a number of points-including a lower and more sloping vault, "flat ruggedness and non-filled out contours"-than the skull of the Piltdown man, and therefore that the Swanscombe man should be assigned his rightful place as England's oldest oldster...
