Intestinal Worms do not thrive in fresh air. That fact led Lewis W. Butz & Dr. William Alfred LaLande of Philadelphia to make 300 wormy puppies swallow some drugs which released oxygen in their guts.

The gag rule against which Democratic voices had thundered ever since 1925 was the House regulation that, unless the Rules Committee gave a bill a place upon the calendar, the measure could be brought out for a vote only by petition of a majority (218 members) of the House.
