Suddenly a squadron of Japanese bombers came tearing at the U. S. flotilla. Bombs struck and sank the Panay, burned and sank three Standard Oil ships. Bursting with pride at having scored four hits the Japanese airmen immediately flashed news of what they had done to Japanese headquarters in Shanghai. Meanwhile, in the muddy, choppy Yangtze, passengers and crew of the U. S. vessels kept afloat as best they could until ships of the British flotilla came to the rescue. Of 72 persons believed to have been aboard the Panay, 63 had been rescued at latest reports, an American seaman...
...bring up to date the technical details of France's military alliance with Hohenzollern Carol's Kingdom. M. Delbos was insured a welcome because he came to offer French capital to build a Rumanian factory which will turn out war tanks, and to arrange that Rumanian crude oil and gasoline will be accepted by Paris in payment for fine new artillery, additional tanks to be supplied to Bucharest. Premier Tatarescu was so pleased that he joined M. Delbos in a fervent pledge that "our two countries will remain faithful to the League of Nations and its principles...
...usual chemical method of obtaining vitamins from fish oil is to remove the oil and leave the vitamin-like obtaining a carburetor by removing the rest of an automobile of which it is part.

Last week, at scientific meetings in Ithaca, Manhattan and Washington, Dr. Kenneth Claude Devereux Hickman of Eastman Kodak laboratories, Rochester, N. Y.-a British bachelor of 41 who likes...
...distillate and a cold condensing surface, molecules can be separated by weight. "Dr. K. Hickman," said Dr. K. Hickman last week, ''began experiments in high-vacuum distillation in 1927. In 1931 he constructed the continuous molecular still and was able to separate from cod-liver oil a golden waxy concentrate which showed high potency of vitamins A and D. Up to this time, molecular distillation had been a scientific curiosity. It represented the ultimate in the application of vacuum...
...temperature increased, the distillation rate of each vitamin changed and each had its characteristic peak. By this means he established that different fishes manufacture different kinds of Vitamin D. Vitamin D obtained from bluefin tuna did not resemble, in distillation behavior, the vitamin from white sea bass. Cod-liver oil was found to contain two major Vitamin Ds and some minor ones, making at least four and possibly five in all. When the new stills are completed it is hoped that these will be isolated and identified...
