...committee did succeed in agreeing on the nature and functions of the proposed international bank of settlement (TIME, March 11, 25), and at the very worst, that notable achievement, set forth in a voluminous report, will crown the labors of Mr. Morgan and Mr. Young. Said a member of the Japanese delegation when things looked blackest last week, "I am deeply sorry for our chairman. Mr. Young has done everything a man could possibly do to make for success. It is a shame that his wonderful work should be branded with defeat. He deserved something far, far better!" Allied Bulls...
...Report of further experiments to prove his bipolar theory of life came from Cleveland's Dr. George Washington Crile. He considers that every living cell is a tiny electrical cell, that the body is a battery with the brain the positive pole and the liver the negative pole (TIME, Aug. 30. 1926). Last week he reported that he had found that every living cell has a definite electrical potential, or tension; that as that potential decreases the cell becomes enfeebled until it dies. When an electric current with a potential opposite to that of a cell is passed through...
...year. He showed that the rarest marbles are expected to chip when turned for columns, that clever repairs are common, not criminal.

During the long-distance conversations there was heard the loud popping of a champagne cork. No illegal pop was popped, however, as the report proceeded from the Berlin hotel of Ernst Filsinger, head of the Export Managers' Club of New York. Exporter Filsinger told the delegates that he was very sorry not to be in Baltimore with them. Then he made his champagne cork pop, thus testifying to the miracles of modern science...
...rayons kept busy 800,000 spindles, 25,000 looms. Wherever textiles were mentioned, New England mills and Amoskeag were among the first to be named. But the Waters have not been so Swift lately, and the Place for Fish has not stood so high. Amoskeag's 1928 report was last week read by Amoskeag Treasurer Frederic Christopher Dumaine. Outstanding feature of the report was Treasurer Du-maine's promise to "keep the mills running here as long as I can." Ominous was this remark, yet apparently not unjustified. The report showed a loss from operations...
