Last week, Physiologist Negovsky reported that this revival technique had been used in more than 1,800 cases since it was tried in the "Great Patriotic War," and that half the patients had pulled through with no mental impairment.

Possibly MGM never thought thought about the outdoor acoustics, so they would be glad to have one more feather in their bonnet. Another good one in the same vein is, "The unparalled, unexpected thrill of Rose Marie in Eastman Color can only be matched by seeing if nature's coloring in Canada is really that...

By placing their books in a wooden box the night before, Lowell men can wake up at 11 a.m. and find themselves only 10 to 25 cents poorer. Without the service, late risers might incur losses as high as two dollars per book...
