Railroad presidents who sigh when they think of the magnificent open-field technique of Vanderbilt, Harriman, Gould and Hill, sighed again last week when Leonor Fresnel Loree, on the point of turning 80. resigned as president of Delaware & Hudson Co. Mr. Loree has a beard and a ferocious scowl. But despite his age and looks, he was always only on the fringes of the swashbuckling, end-of-the-century railroad men who ran railroads, the stock-market and a few States.

The country might be run by the people like Marx, not by people like you, and then there would be a reason for everything...
Tics, or habitual spasms of certain muscles, are another nervous derangement of childhood. The child may shake his head, nod, frown, scowl, blink, grimace, twist his mouth, sniff, hack, swallow, cough, sigh, hiccough, wiggle his ears, jerk his limbs, scratch himself. Tiqueurs are seldom less than six years old. They usually also suffer from personality disorders?restless-ness, self-consciousness, over-ambitiousness. Curing a child of a tic, Dr. Kanner finds is a difficult task. The more a child's attention is called to his tic, the less likely the tic will disappear. Overactive children should be given quiet recreations...
