Many a bimah (pulpit) of New York synagogs vibrated with Rabbinical wrath last Friday evening. The Kashruth Association, guild of ritual food inspectors, met during the week in anger. Some 6,500 kosher butcher shops feared for their supplies. Half as many kosher delicatessen stores were worried about their spicy provender; householders in The Bronx, Manhattan, Queens and Brooklyn chirped excitedly. All because of horrid disclosures of racketeering in the city's kosher food markets (see p. 15). The Kashruth Association called conditions in the kosher chicken markets "a blot upon the good name of the Jew." The Kashruth...
...audience understood more than the gist of Sir Henry's discourse. He stood behind a lectern in the amphitheatre's pit, tall, domed and ruddy, looking like a vicar in a pulpit, and in a rich baritone spoke at length about the drugs which the body creates within itself. The hormones are among such drugs. Histamine and acetycholine are two subtle auto-pharmacals with which he dealt particularly. Histamine seems to be a generalized component of body tissues.

In the first (March) issue of The Michigan Sportsman Editor Van Coevering foresees Depression ending with "America's mills again . . . operating at feverish heat, fiendish efficiency." Then men & women, if they are not to be reduced to "pill...
...slightly bulbous fairly god-mother, he brandished the wand of reform over startled New Yorkers. His first economy measures took the city by surprise; though it was obvious to many that these moves were dictated by the city's banker-creditors, McKee was resoundingly lauded from press and pulpit. Taking advantage of his sudden popularity he issued scores of orders, closing burlesque shows here, and dictating now traffic rules there. With the coming of the fall elections McKee was even more thoroughly defiled by the civic leaders because he was promptly snubbed by Tammany, which nominated O'Brien instead...
