The job of these forces was to widen and hold the breach made, turn it over to ordinary infantry brought up behind. Maximum speed of the whole armored column was that of the break-through tanks: 18 m.p.h. But with each column, for special demolition duty and advance work, went 170-h.p. Diesel-powered medium tanks capable of 85 m.p.h. on roads, 50 m.p.h. across country on their caterpillar tracks. And the Germans...

Believing that his entry into the Cabinet would provoke storms of protest from his countless enemies, he was touched when Britons responded to his appointment with loud applause. Even Baron Camrose, major Fleet Street competitor of The Beaver, came out handsomely in his London Daily Telegraph & Morning Post: "As one of the new ministers comes from Fleet Street, which has the best means of estimating his powers, we may offer warm welcome to the decision which has made Lord Beaverbrook Minister for Aircraft Production...

Gross & Ehrlich consider drastic dehydration dangerous, achieve the same result in another way. They give hypertonic (heavy) glucose injections to patients in coma or shock. The glucose, thicker than body fluids, sucks out fluid from the tissues through osmotic pressure. thus reduces tension in the brain. ¶ Also harmful, say Drs. Gross & Ehrlich. is the common practice of lumbar puncture (spine-tapping) to examine the spinal fluid soon after a head injury. During the first...
