Bethlehem, No. 2 steel company of the land, actually reported a profit last week, $550,000 as against a deficit of $8,700,000 in 1933. Even more dependent on the moribund rail and building markets than U. S., Bethlehem was operating at 40% of capacity. President Eugene Grace, who has not earned a $1,000,000 bonus in several years, dourly remarked that he could see no reason why operations would not hold at that level for "a little while...
...jugular vein. A small quantity of blood is set aside for laboratory study while the rest, treated with potassium citrate, goes into cold storage. Surgeon Judin, who perfected the storage of blood in wholesale quantities and arranged for the gathering of donor corpses, has revived moribund patients with blood stored as long as 30 days.

With vast relief the Seventh Pan-American Conference in Montevideo "referred" Dr. Puig's moratorium for consideration to the Washington whatnot...
...their propaganda are capable of no other interpretation, and that propaganda they have brewed with uncommon energy and ability, leaving no page in the book of mob inflammation unturned, no trick in the militarist deck unplayed. M. Daladier has been an apt pupil, and the guerre de revanche, seemingly moribund, has blossomed beneath his hand. The great obstacle is economic expediency, but Lloyd's are willing to wager at three to one odds that the French and German foreign offices can achieve the decisive calorie which will boil this issue away, and bring the kind of unmoneyed, simple conflict which...
