Entering a Metropolitan subway car last week Henri Decharbogne, famed Paris newspaperman, member of the Legion of Honor, was bumped on the head by a closing door, killed. A great cry of protest against the danger of subway doors went up. "Metro" officials, calm, ignored it; said the doors were modeled on those in use in the U. S. for years...
...official protest of the U. S. government against the now tariff law (TIME, Sept. 19), the French government countered skillfully. It declined to entertain the U. S. proposal for a treaty of amity and commerce modeled on the one recently concluded with Germany (TIME, Aug. 29). In other words France refused to give the U.

...Bishop of Ripon, however, preaching in Leeds the following Sunday, made a protest far broader than simple anti-Darwinism. Said he of Science in general: "With all this new mastery over nature, man has not seemed really to be advancing his own cause. . . . Dare I even suggest, at the risk of being lynched by some of my hearers, that the sum of human happiness, outside of scientific circles, would not necessarily be reduced if, for say ten years, every physical and chemical laboratory were closed and the patient and resourceful energy displayed in them transferred to recovering the lost...
