...four years of trying, but the new one-piece Gillette which opens up like a clamshell is basically his invention. This spring, just to see if he could do it, he wrote a mystery story, Murder in Newport, which Scribner's accepted and published. He also plays the mouth organ (upside down) and does sleight-of-hand...
Medical men have long expected widespread disease among the undernourished population of Leftist Spain. Last week their fears were realized. From half-fed, unheated Madrid came word that 40,000 inhabitants of that city of siege were suffering from pellagra, caused by malnutrition, which results in mouth and skin inflammations. Common in the U. S. South, where there is often a restricted diet of salt pork, corn meal and molasses, pellagra is caused by a lack of those vitamins found in fresh meat, milk and vegetables...

...examining 1,000 Annapolis midship men the Brothers Belding discovered that the acid was produced more rapidly in some mouths than others, that there was ''a remarkable relationship between the speed with which the acid [was] formed and caries susceptibility." "Primitive" foods, they said, such as rice, potatoes, orange juice, honey and sucrose, are fermented so slowly in the mouth that they probably have no relationship to dental caries...
