...with carbon dioxide gas. Of this odorless gas which appears, among other places, in the exhaled breath of all animals, Sir Joseph declared: "The highest percentage which I know to have been breathed experimentally was 11%, and that for a short time by Mr. John Burdon Sanderson Haldane. Dr. Rodolfo Margaria and I have been in an atmosphere of 10% carbon dioxide for, perhaps, five minutes, but I think that somewhere around 7% or 8% is as much as can be withstood for any extended period, and with that I think Mr. Haldane would agree.

...Duke was supposed to have returned to Italy primarily for kidney-stone treatment. Last week's developments explained further. Named new Viceroy of Ethiopia, to do the exhausting job of "civilizing" one of the most recalcitrant native peoples on the globe, was bristling Marshal Rodolfo Graziani, 53.

Italian native troops delivered an old-fashioned charge, 14 of them to the death, took the hill, and back in Italy, newspapers blossomed with VITTORIA headlines...
...accident was it that Italy's third claw was put in charge of her ablest colonial general. General Rodolfo Grazi-ani, hard bitten veteran of many a Libyan skirmish, was plowing north last week from Italian Somaliland at the head of mixed Italian and colonial troops. The terrain he will have to cross is a shade easier than that facing the other two armies, but the distance to his base, Mogadishu on the Indian Ocean, is almost twice as long, the difficulties of water, food and supplies almost twice as great. It is against him that Ethiopians have their...
