Someone else discovered that cod liver oil was good for children because it contained quantities of Vitamin D. That gave joy to Parke, Davis & Co. of Detroit, Scott & Bowne of Bloomfield, N. J., E. L. Patch Co., of Boston, E. R. Squibb & Sons of Manhattan, Mead Johnson...
...rural magazine called Grit the boy saw a picture of Col. Raymond Robins, wealthy Chicago Prohibitor who had been strangely missing since he left New York Sept. 3 to lunch with his good friend President Hoover at the White House (TIME, Sept. 19).

From troughs of idleness or unprofitable fishing caused by storms or glutted markets, they rise suddenly to crests of thrilling sea treasure-hunts with cod lines, lobster pots, salmon nets. The transition from crest to crest is marked by dull periods when the men's blood runs slow with the tedium of making a living. Then a glimpse of what the Fosdycks are out after, or a chance lobster hooked on a cod line starts the blood boiling up. It boils up first in devil-may-care Marney...
...three such fevers run their course is the book's story. Good luck with cod, phenomenal success with lobster potting, lead them to quixotic ventures with a salmon net that almost cost their lives. How the two brothers are benighted at sea, in mist and storm, how their broken gaff is found on the beach, their bodies hunted in vain until their coble, laden with salmon, breaks through the morning fog between the scaurs, is, with all the rest of their adventures, told with a simplicity and salt that has not lost its savor for having been used in older...
