...many of our readers recall the days of the so-called "prosperity"? Then daily proclamations from the Department of the Treasury decreed the golden age, upon the authority of the mild-mannered gentleman who served as such a polite watchdog of the nation's finances. (Mr. Morgenthau can never hope to achieve a like benignity; the poetry of yesterday has yielded to prose.) To be a broker was not at that time the equivalent of pauperism, nor were pent-houses merely points of departure for leaps to the pavement below...
...voice of the No. 1 Irreconcilable of 1919 from the grave, Hearstpapers got Grandson Henry Cabot Lodge to announce : "Another attempt is now under way to make us the whipping boy of Europe by joining the League Court. . . ." All this outcry sold newspapers and presumably whipped Hearstreaders into a mild frenzy of fear and protest. With that any ordinary publisher would have been content. But William Randolph Hearst is also a Power and a Patriot. So while his newspapers foamed noisily, the private Washington lobby which he has long maintained to fight for U. S. isolation and lesser Hearst, causes...
...Madison, Bachelor Anderson lives with three sisters in a house his father built near Lake Mendota. A brother, Isaac, is on the New York Times Book Review staff. Artist Anderson gets many a Henry idea from watching moppets in the streets. Big-framed, grey, mild, plain as homespun, he looks and talks like a Norwegian woodworker, lacks the jargon of the comic-stripper. For fun he goes to a carpenter's bench in his house, turns out odd pieces of woodwork. A child's desk of his design is marketed in Milwaukee for about...
...missed, is the severe headache which is apt to be more unbearable in this disease than in other acute fevers. . . . When the rash, together with fever and headache, delirium and extreme weakness, is clearly described, typhus is easily recognized; but it must be remembered that the rash in the mild, isolated endemic cases-and especially among children-may be so slight and transient that often it is not noticed at all by the physician unfamiliar with the disease. For this reason, until typhus becomes epidemic, individual cases may often remain unrecognized...
When an attack of typhus is mild it probably is due to the bite of a rat-flea. In human blood rat-typhus virus may be transformed, by ways which bacteriologists have not discovered, into human-typhus virus which in turn is transmitted by lice in a much more virulent form. Professor Zinsser two years ago invented a vaccine to prevent human typhus (TIME, March 13, 1933). Before that, Dr. Rolla Eugene Dyer of the U. S. Public Health Service invented a vaccine to protect humans against rat typhus (TIME, Nov. 7, 1932). Though the mortality rate of typhus under...
