...apologies for attributing to him a remark supposed to have been overheard by Joseph Nearing, one of the first men to reach the entombed physician and his living and dead companions. Last week Overseer Scadding, the other survivor, was in danger of having ten gangrenous toes amputated as a result of the accident...
...Result. Unlike the trade treaty with Canada which evoked a frightful roar from U. S. producers (TIME, Nov. 25), the French treaty caused almost no stir at all. Few of the U.

Death, threatening the life of the A. M. A.'s President-Elect James Tate Mason, made last week's meeting the most emotional in the A. M. A.'s 89 years' existence.

Result was that customers popped up who had never been inside the Metropolitan before. Though the Company's headline singers were gone for the summer, there was a Carmen complete with horses, a Rigoletto and a sprightly new English version of Smetana's Bartered Bride...
...Chicago, Keeshin set about filing joint tariff schedules with six railroads as the result of an alliance agreed upon fortnight ago for truck-rail freight service, such as Keeshin started with the Rock Island line in 1934. About June 8, the railroads will begin picking up loaded Keeshin trailers on flat cars, carrying them by rail to their destination, where Keeshin tractors will make final delivery. The six: Baltimore & Ohio; Reading; Central of New Jersey; Alton; Rock Island; Chicago Great Western...
