Cause. Until last week the cause of measles was uncertain. Bacteriologists for years suspected streptococci, the great family of germs responsible for scarlet fever, septic sore throat, erysipelas, childbed fever. But no one ever saw the germ of measles. Therefore bacteriologists tossed the subject into that catchpot of medical conjecture labeled VIRUS. Only means of immunity which proved effective was hypodermic injection of serum from the blood of people convalescing from measles; or inoculations of the nasal secretions of measles victims in the first stage of the disease...

Landis was chairman, the SEC was in the hands of men more or less conciliatory to Wall Street and crusaders were in the minority. This has long been a sore point with ardent New Dealers and last week it was sorer than ever. Forced to resign after disagreement with associates, Kemper Simpson, SEC economic adviser since 1934, furiously ticked off the SEC for relaxing registration requirements, blamed the severity of the current market crash on its laxity...
