...organ in the upper left abdomen, are not wholly understood but one of them is to disintegrate red blood corpuscles and set free their hemoglobin. It has been observed that when bits of cancer are transported by the bloodstream to colonize elsewhere in the body, the spleen is seldom affected. Spleen extract had been tried against cancer before, without success. Dr. Lewisohn decided that was because the concentration was too weak...
...front-row seat as the latest Big Bolshevik trial opened in Moscow last week. He had already learned from the official Soviet newspaper Pravda ("Truth") that Death was going to be meted out to all 21 prisoners (TIME, March 7), no matter what happened in the courtroom. Pravda is seldom wrong in such a case. Thus the U. S.

...game in the world, looks like a haphazard melee in which someone by luck occasionally pokes a puck into a net.

When Producer Goldwyn, who had discovered Actor Cooper over a decade before (The Winning of Barbara Worth), lured him back...
Artist Evergood's sensations are never any prettier than what he observes, and what he observes in Manhattan is apparently seldom pretty. When he draws a nude model he shows that her feet are dirty and her face is a lamentable part of her body. When he paints down-&-outers in a hobo "jungle" he distorts them to get an effect equivalent to the ugliness he feels. In last week's show of 22 paintings were several in Evergood's vein of wild, clownish humor. Sunday in Astoria and Recreation, big canvasses composed in bright, crude colors...
