...even higher if many of the men were not teachers in universities, just getting their careers underway. About a dozen men make $10,000 to $15,000. One of these is a staff artist for Cinemanimator Walt Disney-salary, $12,000. The group includes a physical scientist and a physiologist who are university department heads; a 32-year-old aeronautical engineer who is coordinator of research in a $10,000,000 laboratory; also jazz-band players, ghost writers, radio announcers, a fox farmer, a rare-stamp dealer, a cop. Half of Terman's boys entered professions, with...
High Proof. Yale's Physiologist Yandell Henderson has his own ideas about alcoholism. Because drunkards thrive on hard liquor, always drink it straight, Dr. Henderson wants to dilute their liquor for them. He proposed high federal taxes on high-proof whiskey,* low taxes on low-proof. He even advocated that watered-down, 60 proof liquor be legalized. "Consumers of spirits," said Dr. Henderson, would probably "support the experiment" by drinking such cheap liquor. Result: fewer drunkards. Such "as would be still produced would be addicted to 60 to 70 proof instead of 80 to 100 proof. And this would...
Urine for Ulcers. Women rarely have peptic ulcers. On a hunch that female hormones confer natural immunity, Dr. David Jacob Sandweiss, Physiologist M. H. F. Friedman and colleagues of Detroit's Wayne University made a purified extract of the urine of normal, healthy women, injected it under the skin of dogs in whom they had produced peptic ulcers. In several weeks the dogs recovered. Within the last two years the scientists have tried experimental urine injections on 60 patients, with "highly encouraging results." What the healing substance is, and where it is produced, the doctors haven...
...spread the severed ends into tubular shape so they can be stitched together. Some 30 years ago, Dr. Alexis Carrel, then teaching at Chicago, overcame this difficulty by stuffing torn blood vessels with vaseline. But this technique was so troublesome that few surgeons have followed it. Last week famed Physiologist Anton Julius Carlson of the University of Chicago announced that one of his medical students, Sidney Smith, had finally made the two ends meet-by the simplest of inventions. For this he was awarded Chicago's coveted Harry Ginsburg prize...
...runs a physiologist's description of a sneeze. But such words pale before a sneeze's peppery reality. Last week Professor Marshall Walker Jennison of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology took high-speed, stop-motion photographs of this complicated phenomenon. His findings: 1) every spasm expels thousands of droplets, 250th of an inch in diameter, heavy with millions of germs; 2) human "muzzle velocity" runs as high as 150 feet a second, nearly two miles a minute...
