...regard to the letter in "The Mail" of November 9, written by Mr. Lakeman: he states that he is a pacifist because he would rather spend taxes on schools and other internal improvements than on supporting a very modern army. But how are the schools and other internal affairs to be protected from outside invasion? Does he want us to become a country of pacifitsts, a ripe plum of easy picking for any other country in the world today? The leading American statesmen of today realize that isolation is no longer sufficient to keep us out of European politics...

This inconstancy gave Sir Henry Dale, a big, diligent Englishman, opportunity to pioneer on his own with many a discovery in the chemistry of nerves.

It causes capillaries and small arteries to dilate, thus lowering blood pressure and slowing the action of an overworking heart. It relaxes smooth muscles, thus relieving spasms of the bladder, ureters, uterus, intestines...
Four years ago, hoping to spend less time at his old pine desk in his Kenosha office, more time in his Lakeside mansion, Motorman Nash retired to the chairmanship of his rich little company, naming his general manager as president and presumptive successor. Not long ago, however, Mr. Nash regretfully announced President Earl Hansen McCarty's resignation. At 72 thrifty Mr. Nash again had the job of finding an eventual chief executive. Last week he found his man - George Walter Mason, 45, president-chairman of Detroit's Kelvinator Corp...
