There are no exact figures on the number of hard of hearing people in the U. S. but this does not deter many people from quoting any figures that seem to suit their fancies. I have seen figures ranging all the way from 200,000 to your 20,000,000 which seems a new high. My own estimate would be somewhat less than a tenth of your figure. The American Society for the Hard of Hearing is certainly doing good work but nothing is gained by making out their job to be astronomical in extent...
...publication of a list of British and French passenger ships which, since they are armed, will henceforth be "treated as enemy warships." Included were Aquitania, Britannia, Cameronia, De Grasse, Empress of Russia, Georgic, Mauretania, Queen Mary. De Grasse reached Manhattan safely this week. Cameronia arrived, too, wearing a new suit of orange-buff paint as camouflage. Theory: any attacking submarine must come to the surface to identify her fully, could then be gunned...
...plunges in to college professors whenever she feels the need of tutelage (there are discussion groups, no lectures, no textbooks). Steadily, humorlessly, the film photographs Joan under the watchful eye of her adviser, or "Don"; Joan on her self-chosen "project"; Joan earnestly typing in a barebacked bathing suit while her friends loll, sunbathe; Joan aiming a camera at two naked tots at the nursery school provided by Sarah Lawrence for students of Child Psychology, Personality Development, and The Family.

Vanderbilt of Rhode Island's well-starched collar was also warm. Citing his State's lace industry, he threatened last month to take suit to the Supreme Court against the Trade Agreements Act's constitutionality. He too got back a politely savage letter, requesting him to note that the Rhode Island lace industry, under three years of agreements, had recovered almost 100% of its 1929 volume of $27,000,000. Senators Pittman...
Women have another advantage, according to Dr. Hardy, which enables them to stand cold better than men-"a thicker insulating layer of superficial tissue" (vulgar translation: blubber). This natural protection enables a naked woman to feel no colder in a cool room than a man with a light suit of clothes on.* Result of these superior adaptations both to heat and to cold is that the temperature range of the "comfort zone" is twice as wide for women...
