...Significance. Unlike England's Shaw satirizing human institutions, Hungary's Molnar satirizes human emotions. Since institutions change while human nature does not, lyric Molnar will probably "date" less than pedantic Shaw when later generations take an accounting. Like Shaw, like any playwright with broad genius, Molnar is interested in and can handle all manner of people?slaveys, socialites, policemen, princes?not for what they stand for but as kinds of people underneath. For the proud of this world he has a pathos of precision, for the humble, a tender irony, ridicule softened by tears. His many-mooded plays abound...
President-Elect William Gerry Morgan. The convention elected Dr. William Gerry Morgan of Washington to take office as president next year at Detroit. Whether or not Prohibitor Wilson felt, as some charged, that his presence in Portland was influencing the convention and partly responsible for the election of Dr. Morgan, who was the Wilson candidate in 1927, the majority of physicians voting retained a clear picture of Dr. Morgan's high professional standing. He promised to try to-clarify the muddle of medical costs now vexing the profession. Dr. Morgan said he supposed "that the true difficulty...
...famed genitourinary surgeon, because he was a urologist as well as chief of staff of the Illinois Social Hygiene League which treats charity patients of Chicago's Public Health Institute, a clinic operating not for profit on the treatment of venereal diseases (TIME, April 22).

This was a nice case for professional dialectics: Dr. Schmidt " unethically" advertising for clients...
Henry Hurd Rusby, Columbia University's famed pharmacologist, had hoped that the Association would finally be induced to take up the campaign against "impure" ergot imports which he has been conducting in collaboration with Howard W. Ambruster, an independent Manhattan ergot importer (TIME, April 15, May 13). Apparently because of the commercial complications involved, the Association took no ergot action, left to the U. S. Government the enforcement of pure drug laws and standards...
Last week, however, John North Willys disappeared from the automobile world with the sale of his entire Willys-Overland holdings (some 800,000 shares of common). Nor did any one individual take his place. Purchasers were a combination of Chicago and Toledo interests. The Chicago interest was Field, Glore & Co., acting for Chicago Corp., the Midwest investment trust organized last winter (TIME, Feb. 25). Election of Charles F. Glore and Marshall Field III to the Willys-Overland directorate will be one immediate result of the transaction. The Toledo purchasers were headed by George M. Jones, wealthy head of Toledo...
