Their latest contribution to popular enlightenment is an epic on venereal disease, "Dr. Ehrlich's Magic Bullet." Apparently the moguls of moviedom have resolved that if club-women can take Wassermann tests, the movies can proclaim the existence of such a thing as syphilis...

With joy the French primate received a letter entirely in the handwriting of Pius XII. "We desire ardently," wrote the Pope, "that Catholic France, overcoming the difficulties of the present hour, achieve in ever greater degree her noble vocation of apostleship and civilization, which Divine Providence has assigned to her in the concert of nations...
