...development of new stills resulted not only in a new method of obtaining vitamins, but in the discovery that vitamins previously recognized as individuals were in fact whole tribes of near relations. Distiller Hickman found that as temperature increased, the distillation rate of each vitamin changed and each had its characteristic peak. By this means he established that different fishes manufacture different kinds of Vitamin D. Vitamin D obtained from bluefin tuna did not resemble, in distillation behavior, the vitamin from white sea bass. Cod-liver oil was found to contain two major Vitamin Ds and some minor ones, making...
...awkwardness for the violin (Schumann was a pianist). Very obvious, despite Menuhin's contentions, was the need of editing. Most of the important violin concertos by great masters have either been edited by, or written in collaboration with, some eminent violinist. But violinists, generally hard-up for first-rate concertos, greeted the new work with hosannas, as did the 3,200 who turned out to hear Menuhin play...

That time it had two weeks in which to get going, but to justify including the cost of its rental in the rate base, a company official testified a few weeks ago that in an emergency it could turn out power on an hour's notice. "We waited until they had committed themselves fully," said Mr. Beamish smugly, "then we sprang the trap...
...began to fall on most fronts. Car-loadings are now some 20% under last year at the same season. With 28% of U. S. trackage already in the courts, the railroads were quick to clamor for Government help in the form of a general 15% rise in railroad freight rates. For a month railroad men and business leaders have almost unanimously maintained that the alternative to a rate rise is Government operation. Hearings before the Interstate Commerce Commission in Washington by last week had become such a unanimous parade of evidence that almost everyone began to take it for granted...
...earnestly. But established practice before any commission allows a petitioner to request an immediate emergency order after presentation of ample evidence pending a final decision. Last week the railroads resolved to take this step. Through the Association of American Railroads they asked that the ICC provide an emergency rate rise immediately to last until February when final hearings had been scheduled. The reason: many roads could not hold out two months longer...
