...Distinguished Service to modest, greying Widow Florence Guggenheim. Turning from her toward the audience and the band, the Mayor said: "Tonight you have heard and enjoyed, with the added opportunity to observe, the very acme of perfection in band music. When it is possible for a band to render a Bach fugue, then I want to congratulate you, Maestro Goldman, and your musicians. Just imagine Sebastian Bach hearing an organ, and back of every key a human being. If he could have heard it performed here tonight he would have said: 'That is what I intended...

In his estimate of what has been called recent recovery, Mr. Douglas found only a hollow illusion, created largely by huge government appropriations, and by flat credit...
...explanation: "We still have to discover a definite scientific basis for the practice of sleeping head forward on trains. . . . Hemastatics may justify head forward position, since with the head forward the fluid inertia of the blood would cause it to accumulate in the splanchnic (abdominal) pool and thus render the brain relatively anemic. This would increase drowsiness and assist in going to sleep in the noisy and vibrating berth, but would not necessarily make the sleep one whit more refreshing, in fact, possibly the exact opposite...
