Legitimate doctors are just beginning to understand the multitude of effects that physical agents-machines, baths, heat, electricity, exercises-have on human beings. According to Dr. Nagelschmidt, "Physical therapy has left the field of empiricism and has entered the scientific realm.'' On the other hand virtually anyone can learn to manipulate virtually any physiotherapeutic device in a few hours. One of the best schools for the training of such technicians, the New Haven School of Physical Therapy, headed by an M. D., requires only a high-school diploma of students. They pursue their training course in twelve months...
Suddenly came the bombshell that Ethiopia's Emperor, like an incipient bankrupt who hastily transfers his assets, had handed oil concessions covering more than half his realm to a British Master of Foxhounds with swank London connections (see p. 23). Instantly the French Left Parties, hostile to Capitalism and to Imperialism, were alert. M. Herriot and the other Leagophiles began to wonder if British League of Nations Minister Anthony Eden, who had been slated to preach to the League Council this week about Right & Justice, was not either duped or duping. Paris detected a nauseating odor of oil from...

After all, he had knocked out Tommy Loughran when Loughran was still the world's ablest boxer of his weight. Attracted by this line of reasoning, the biggest crowd that has watched a Chicago...
From the Modern Galleries in Philadelphia last week went forth an offer to sell one of the strangest collections of drawings yet unearthed in the realm of Americana. Depicted in 1,676 black & white wash drawings, all a little more than a foot square and all by the same artist, was a breathtaking medley of scenes and events, ranging from the crucifixion of Christ to the execution of Nathan Hale, from an attack of delirium tremens to the Ride of John Gilpin, from Little Britches left out in the snow to Poet Poe addressing the Raven. Sentimental though most...
