...famed breeders of mice are Professor Maud Slye of the University of Chicago and Dr. Clarence Cook Little of Jackson Memorial Laboratory at Bar Harbor, Me. Each has raised, killed and dissected more than 150,000 mice. Their purpose: to learn whether or not a tendency to cancer is inherited, and, if so, how. Dr. Slye has decided and firmly declared that cancer is genetically a recessive character which she can breed out of her mice and could, if given a stupendously free hand, breed out of human beings (TIME, Aug. 31).

As the ships lay at anchor, their funnels cold and smokeless, pale-eyed Norwegian seamen in blue jerseys leaned against lamp...
Indefatigable Professor Maud Slye, pathologist of the University of Chicago, will use her "vacation" to address the International Congress for the Control of Cancer which meets in Brussels next month. Also at Amsterdam, Berlin, Paris, London, perhaps Copenhagen, she will give the case histories of 5.000 cancerous and noncancerous mice, renew her old plea that complete medical records be kept for human cancer as she has kept them for her army of rodents...
...Simpson, too. The second last week omitted Mr. Simpson altogether, announced a dinner at York House in St. James's Palace at which ate His Majesty and Mrs. Simpson, Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of York, the First Lord of the Admiralty and Lady Maud Hoare, Mr. and Mrs. Winston Churchill and Lord and Lady Willingdon, the former Viceroy and Vicereine of India...
