...CENSOR MARCHES ON-Morris L Ernst & Alexander Lindey-Doubleday, Doran ($2.50). A sharp, clattering, rather witty account, in the best liberal-lawyer-to-laymen manner, of what U. S. sex censorship amounts to in its several fields. Nothing startlingly new is said on this sore old subject. The authors bring all the more famous court fights, raids, enlightened opinions and funny stories between two covers. The book also outlines just what can, to date, be legally got away with; and gives in full the anthropologically fascinating, immortally funny Production Code for the movies. The volume may be useful...
...government considered Browder a criminal, why did they dig up a charge of passport violation--a charge which is almost a stranger to the courts of law?

For such ordnance the Army last year got almost as much as Malin Craig had begged, in last week...

Until 1938, penniless migrants were left to doctor such maladies themselves. But after the fierce winter floods, the Farm Security Administration offered to finance a system of community medical care which would give the migrants free doctoring, medicines and hospital care, pay local physicians reasonable amounts for their services. Joining with representatives of the California Medical Association, and Dr. Dickie, FSA formed the Agricultural Workers Health and Medical Association, only Government-supported "panel system...
...streptococcus infection, British and German doctors 15 years ago tried injections of gold salts to combat the germs. Although 10% of 750 British patients were "cured," and 57% showed "marked improvement," American physicians hesitated to experiment with the salts. Reason: an overdose of gold may produce skin rashes, a sore mouth and tongue, disorders of the kidneys and blood. But over a year ago. Dr. Dawson decided to try chrysotherapy (from the Greek chrysos, meaning gold...
