...soared from side to side, but the motor road existed only in blueprints. We turned out for the two boys and their rut-jumping car-we hoisted them on to the railroad trestle with one wheel just outside the tracks, and the other inside and they bumped off with rubber bits in their mouths to prevent the sharp jerks from causing self-inflicted bites. Yes, they bumped off, presumably to take the Eastern Beach Trail that starts on the Atlantic side, above Colon. Whether they got where they were going or not, I don't know. Or I wouldn...
...leadership U. M. W. has become the biggest, richest, most powerful union in the land. Backed by eleven other industrial unions, leader Lewis is now attempting to organize Steel's 500,000 workers on the same principle. Beyond that- implicit in his announced plan to organize the automobile, rubber, lumber and textile industries as well as steel-lies a far greater goal...
...Murray's operation for embolus is to cut until he can handle the affected artery at the site of the plugging. Above and below the embolus he applies soft rubber-covered clamps to the artery. Over the embolus "a longitudinal incision, 0.5 to 1 cm. long, is made. The mass is expressed by the fingers without difficulty and the lower clamp is removed to allow return bleeding to flush the distal [away from the heart] segment and similarly the proximal [toward the heart] segment is flushed and the clamp reapplied. With fine oiled silk suture on arterial needles...
Even imported commodities had a part in last week's show. Rubber sold above 16½? per lb. for the first time since 1929. In one day silk shot up 5? per lb. to $1.67.

Only items likely to be depressed by drought are meat and hides, and those only temporarily. Slaughtering of cattle in drought areas increases the immediate supply. No trade was more agog about the commodity boom last week than the butter market. Like eggs, butter has an annual...
Footwear. After trying out fantastic "walking machines" to determine the durability of rubbers, tennis shoes and boots, and finding their results unreliable, manufacturers now test rubber footwear part by part. One machine, which Manager W. E. Glancy of Hood Rubber Co. Laboratories described last week at Atlantic City, has all the wheels and most of the gadgets of a lathe for turning out baseball bats. It is used to pull eyelets out of tennis shoes, a dial registering the force needed. A machine with a rocking arrangement stretches sheets of shoe rubber until they tear. To test the safety...
