...Royal had been sunk, even though a U. S. naval attache lunched aboard her and found differently-they have artlessly suppressed information which would on the whole have done their cause good rather than harm. Last week Germany had yet to admit the loss of even one submarine in seven weeks' warfare...
Last month an international jury of artists* examined the 348 pictures Jack Nash had hung. Each judge had 15 stickers the first day and seven slips of paper the second, strolled through the galleries, licking, sticking, narrowing down the field for the final choices. Last week 5,000 well-dressed people surged up the Institute's broad marble stairs to open Pittsburgh's social season and the 37th International.

...school with 50?, worked his way through, eventually became a Morgan partner. Headmaster Fuess hastened to add that the school "really has not changed in spirit," told his proudest news: that last year 213 of the school's 700-odd boys had scholarships, that the captains of seven Andover teams are working their way through.

How much of it lies hidden in the upper Catatumbo basin nobody knows. The companies have until August 1941 to stake out their final claims. Then half of the Barco reverts to the Colombian Government...
...last, desperate measure, never before tried in the history of surgery: complete amputation of the cancerous lung in one stage. An incision was made down the sick man's back, beside and below his shoulder blade. Carefully Dr. Graham slit through tough chest muscles, removed sections of seven ribs, neatly severed the lumpy grey lung high up where the windpipe separates into two branches. Then he tied the stump with a tight catgut knot. Finally he stitched up the chest muscles. To his great joy, his colleague survived...
