Hips at Birth. Usually it is difficult to know whether a baby's hip is out of joint. One way to tell is to study the folds in the skin of the thighs. If one thigh is creased more on the inner side than the other, the creased side is dislocated. If both thighs are deeply creased, both hips are probably dislocated. Another method is to put the baby flat on its back and bend its legs at the hips and knees so that its feet are flat on the table or bed. If one hip has been...
Wearing his lion-skin coat, Roscoe Turner took off from Miami for New York (1,200 mi.) last week, ostensibly to break Rickenbacker's transport record of 8 hr. 36 min. With him in the United Air Lines' Boeing in which he placed third in the England-Australia air race last autumn was United's Traffic Manager Harold Crary. An hour after Turner's departure a regular Eastern Air Liner took off from Miami with twelve passengers. Pilot Dick Merrill refueled at Charleston, picked up a tailwind at Richmond, scooted into Newark at 227 m.p.h...
...thickening of the skin of their hands, caused by repeated exposure to x-rays, roentgenologists are reconciled. Upon the assurance of Mayo Clinicians many an x-ray man has ceased to wear heavy lead-filled rubber gloves and aprons as a positive shield against x-rays which, while harmless to the patient, might seriously injure the examiner.

...Reynolds published the woeful information last week, and accompanied it with hopeful advice from the head of the Albert Soiland Radiological Clinic of Los Angeles. Dr. Soiland, 61, has been using x-rays for 38 years. As a result the skin of his hands is thick and swollen. Hopeless of curing them, he long tried to soothe them with various ointments and lotions. Dr. Soiland sails yachts in his leisure time. Last year it dawned on him that his hands felt better after being doused in salt water. He at once experimented in his laboratory with wet salt dressings, found...
Consolidated also prints cigar box portraits. In its files are the fat Teutonic nudes of yesteryear, who, thinly veiled in gauze, lie languorously across a wolf's skin (Wolff's Choice), or step daintily into a mountain brook (The Lone Queen), or sedately duel with rapiers in a grove (El Duelo). Today Consolidated makes its money from more prosaic designs for cigars like La Palina. La Palina was originated by Sam Paley, father of President William S. Paley of Columbia Broadcasting System. The inside of every La Palina box is adorned with a picture of Mrs. Sam Paley...
