Surgeons, anesthetists and hospital managers met in Chicago last week to study, discuss, argue, play and be seen. Being seen was important, for the only ways in which a professional man can spread his reputation is by getting research published, demonstrating at a clinic, having his patients gossip about his work, and presenting himself to his colleagues for personal study. So some 3,000 men and a few women took time to display themselves at Chicago. The big affair of the week was the Clinical Congress of the American College of Surgeons, whose Fellows include all the good practitioners...

S. citizens go to Europe. Few know any history except the Anglo-American combination. But U. S. play-goers who have seen Walter Hampden act the Parisian smash of 1897, Edmond Rostand's lyrical Cyrano de Bergerac, have gained an inkling of what 17th Century France was like. For swaggering, fork-tongued Gascon Cyrano actually lived, and in those melodramatic days. The Rogers biography reveals the real Cyrano de Bergerac...
...County Fair, Kingston, N. C., a cat-washing contest was held last week. Superviser was D. Eugene Wood, famed Carolina sportsman, who claims to have seen a flight of white crows, who advocates stocking the State's eastern swamps with 10,000 goats to eliminate underbrush and provide new game. Excerpts from Sportsman Wood's cat-washing rules...
