...Sapiro was no doubt annoyed to have spent a round sum of money-only to find far distant the $1,000,000 which he hopes to get from Mr. Ford because of certain anti-Jewish articles published in the Dearborn Independent (TIME, March 21, 28). It did not seem likely that a new trial could be arranged before next autumn. During the life of the Sapiro-Ford trial the following events were chronicled: Henry Ford was badly battered in an automobile accident. Stuart Hanley, lawyer for Mr. Ford, suffered a back strain. Two of Aaron Sapiro's children came...
This is Dr. Farnell's theory. Of 38 sleeping sickness cases he has treated, only two have died. Seven have recovered completely; four are approaching recovery; the rest seem to be improving. This is an excellent record for cures of a high-death-rate disease. The death rate is 21% generally, 50% in epidemics, according to tabulations of Dr. Herbert H. Waite of the University of Nebraska...
...Province of Ontario, last week forbade the further use of roller towels in all business and public lavatories; of powder puffs and sponges in all barbershops; of wooden bedsteads in public lodging houses of the Province.

In the creation of Love Is Like That, they collaborated. By combining their efforts they seem to have detracted from the ability of both for Love Is Like That tries to impose heroics of romanticism upon comedy of manners, a process automatically self-canceling. What is left are attractive scenery, one or two bits of good acting, a few, isolated, clever lines. Vladimir Dubriski (Basil Rathbone...
...those of us who have been reading the stories of the flood situation in the South, it may seem that there is much exaggeration, but from my own observation of conditions in Southern Illinois, Arkansas and Tennessee last week, I do not feel that the stories printed in the Metropolitan papers are at all over drawn. To be sure, those of us who visited Memphis and the surrounding country had very little opportunity to see much of the extended flood areas. We did, however, see sufficient to convince us that the local people were probably right when they said this...
