...provoke a social industrial revolution. Last week James Ramsay MacDonald was said to be on pins & needles lest the Ford survey soon to begin in London and in Manchester, should prove that a shilling is worth more in one of those English cities than in the other. Inevitably such proof would rouse the British Labor Party to all kinds of imperative demands upon the Prime Minister which he dare not face. At Scot MacDonald's urgent request, the Ford investigators will probably announce their English findings on the basis of an average struck between the Manchester shilling...
...drugs only to those manufacturers who had proved to his Administration that they sincerely wished to sell only such pure, safe drugs. His staff inspected manufacture as frequently as they could. Congress did not supply him with sufficient money to hire the vast staff he really required for fool-proof supervision of all foods, drugs and insecticides.* He was obliged to compromise for expediency, to trust the manufacturers' probity. The ergot extractors to whom he released substandard crude ergot were trustworthy. All the ergot extract which left the manufacturers was legally pure and obstetrically safe; but practically every extract...
...finer and finer analyses, man has broken down Matter from molecules, to atoms, to immaterial "particles" of radiation. No more paradoxical seems the new Einstein theory that Space is the stuff of which Matter is made, that Space is "solid."

Although the tapping restriction had not really had time to be effective, rubber merchants considered last week's market proof of its failure. Ominously, stocks of rubber on hand in London mounted to a new high of 101.380 tons against 35.107 a year...
