...Barcelona, the capital of more or less autonomous Catalonia (through which supplies for Madrid enter Spain in a steady stream), local President Luis Companys umpired a heroic political dogfight in which the Cabinet of this one of the Spains fell. At last Barcelona's quarreling hot anarchists & communists and warmed-over socialists & republicans grew so helplessly embroiled that most of them seemed relieved when President Companys agreed last week to add the Premiership of Catalonia temporarily to his other offices and worries. Dispatches reaching Valencia said that what had chiefly been accomplished at Barcelona was to "oust the anarchists...
...introduced into the blood stream to replace such natural protection had to be a stable emulsion. The Philadelphia men achieved that by mixing water, fat and 5% sugar under intense heat. An injection of this into a patient's vein or under his skin "blots up" toxins produced by microorganisms. Said Dr. Boericke: "The longest time it takes the fluid to work is twelve hours. In pneumonia cases we have noted improvements within a minute after injection...
...long interim between 1817 and the present, the art of clocution has declined far below the standard of men like Webster, Clay, Douglas, or Calhoun. In this descent toward mediocrity, the oratory prizes have stood out against the current like rocks in a stream, steadily maintaining their solid basis. They were washed over the blasts of rhetoric, by stultified, memorized arguments, but they remained fixed. Now, nurtured by Professor Packard's courses, and with the tremendous flowering of radio, which is based entirely on ear-appeal rather than the flourishing of arms, the true clocution which the prizes were founded...
Another Krick boundary lies in the Atlantic Ocean off the Eastern Seaboard, separating warm Gulf Stream air from cold continental air. This boundary moved west until it lay some 200 miles inland, bringing warm weather to the coastal States. Quick thaws in this region contributed something to the Ohio floods. Another flood factor was the migration of the Rockies boundary into the Pacific Ocean. This allowed low-pressure centres to swing all the way down the western U. S. before moving east. These centres thus picked up moist tropical air around the Gulf of Mexico, then carried it northeast...
...children. He guided a former assistant, Professor Olof Larsell of the University of Oregon, in mapping the nerves of the lungs. Despite all this, Dr. Miller humbly and urgently begins his monograph: "There remain many problems to be solved." For instance, does oxygen diffuse directly into the blood stream, or do the lungs first do something to oxygen to make it fit for the blood? How do filtrable viruses get through the respiratory system to cause diseases like measles...
