...That was posed by a Chinese soldier in a Japanese uniform!" shrilled Lieut.-Colonel Tan Takahashi of the Tokyo Japanese General Staff to Manhattan reporters. "Our Japanese bayonet technique is entirely different from that and I can prove it!" Grabbing a pencil, the Japanese officer thrust, ripped and jabbed an imaginary enemy while yipping war cries with such realism that a female reporter was overcome with queasiness...
Forceful, champagne-swizzling President KamĊl Atatürk has his heroic occupation listed in the British Who's Who as "Renovator of Turkey." Last week Istanbul's usually authoritative newsorgan Tan declared that when the Grand National Assembly meets November 1, Renovator KamĊl Atatürk is going to change the Turkish Constitution radically and order new elections held.

Meanwhile Union had missed two industrial revolutions in its business: 1) from easily-torn sulphite bags to sulphate bags (made of tough tan papers called "Kraft" by the trade); 2) from expensive northern spruce to cheap southern pine for paper pulp.

With those precautions the bacteriologists cultured germs, treated therewith chemicals, eventually produced a whitish-tan, sugar-like substance called SSS '"Soluble Specific Substance").* Dissolved in salt water and injected under the skin, it stimulates the blood to develop antibodies which kill specific germs. There are 32 different types of pneumococci. SSS is effective only against Types I and II, which cause half of the cases of pneumonia in this country. The inventor of Soluble Specific Substance, Dr. Lloyd Derr Felton, who had experimented at Harvard and now at Johns Hopkins, hopes to develop similar sugary substances to be used...

From the nearby Berkshire Hunt and Country Club, where he and his wife had been put up in the best suite, Conductor Sergei Koussevitzky of the Boston Symphony drove over to Tanglewood, noted with approval that a tan tent, 280 ft. by 120 ft. and 60 ft. high at its peak, had been raised on the property. Dr. Koussevitzky entered the tent, commanded that two sticks be clicked together before the big plywood orchestra shell. Listening judiciously from the rear of the tent, Conductor Koussevitzky heard the distinct...
