...Walter B. Cannon put himself on record on this matter by referring to: "The quick insight of the faculty and of the student members into the dire need of the wounded men who have fought for the legitimate government of Spain...
...Manhattan art critics were surprised twice in quick succession last week: 1 ) when the swank Knoedler Galleries opened their season with an exhibition of 21 flower paintings by the wife of a Hollywood producer. and 2) when the paintings turned out to be not so bad. Mrs. Bessie Lasky is the wife of Mr. Jesse Lasky. Slender, pale, serene, with curly Titian hair and a love of Chinese pajamas, she has been painting ever since the Laskys became prosperous about 15 years ago.

...himself off from another record: 46 years of jockeying, set by Great Britain's John Osborne. As a public figure, however, Steve Donoghue has equaled any of them.

Thus if a man weighing 160 lb. drinks 20 drops of heavy water, the excess of deuterium will show in his urine. Biologists have been quick to see that, with two kinds of hydrogen atoms as distinct as red and green, a neat method was available for tracing the course of hydrogen-bearing compounds in body processes. Scientists in Germany have already found by this means that half the water which they drank stayed in their bodies nine...
