Obviously stung by the term demagogue as applied by Alfred E. Smith, Franklin D. Roosevelt made answer Monday night in a speech at a political rally in St. Paul. Elevating his oration from a mere defence to a prolonged attack on the Republican economic program, Mr. Roosevelt reasserted his favorite criticism of the Hoover plan, reiterating the opinion that any effective solution must depend on a "policy that seeks to help all simultaneously." In an effort to give weight to his proposal, Mr. Roosevelt punctuated his address with ringing names drawn from the histories of both parties. Concluding that...
...originator of physiatric hospitals,* Dr. Frederick Madison Allen of Morristown, N. J., last week suggested (with reservations) that insulin be used to treat tuberculosis. Insulin, he observed, ''serves for more than mere carbohydrate [sugars, starches] utilization. It is the hormone of assimilation and anabolism. In this capacity it plays a well-recognized role in the resistance to infection, as is illustrated by the susceptibility of diabetic patients to infections and the restoration of resistance by insulin.

There are three tables at which earnest students converse glibly in Spanish, German and French to the bewilderment of the waitresses and themselves...
While the competitive system seems to set mere men at the whim of imponderable elements beyond their ken or control and give free rein to huge competing combines that must, by their very nature, reach the point of saturation, obsolescence, and final destruction, a survey of present day democracy gives pause to those who wish to believe that in public ownership or control there lies a solution for periodic industrial collapse. Legislatures composed of individuals apparently forced to spend as much as possible for the delight of local constituents make the trusteeship of common welfare a grisly political farce...
