Last month retiring Governor George A. Alexander of the U.S. island of Guam proudly reported to his Navy superiors that after five years of begging his 19,500 subjects to run for office and cajoling them into attending sessions once they were elected, he had at last filled all 16 seats in the upper House, all 27 seats in the lower House of his "advisory" Congress of Guam. Last week, hoping to find something more creditable to U. S. imperialism, newshawks dug up Governor Otto C. Dowling's fat report on U. S. Samoa, the single typewritten copy...

Dr. Jacobi injected a small quantity of a solution under the skin of the woman's diseased armpit. That solution was a filtrate of Bacillus typhostis, the germ which causes typhoid fever. Twenty-four hours later Dr. Jacobi administered a second injection of the filtrate intravenously...
...Bock's report on the continuation of compulsory physical exercises for student waiters embodies one important concession, which answers effectively the old argument that student waiters have not sufficient time to meet the Freshman physical requirements. In the future the exercise rules for all Freshmen will be abolished during the week before November hours, midyear and final examinations. This will allow three weeks before examinations and six weeks during the Exam periods, in which Freshmen may rejoice in stolid inactivity, with only a book in their hands to make the red corpuscles multiply or to get fresh...
