Three hundred orphans in an asylum near Ann Arbor, Mich, raised a tumult of delight last week when they learned that Professor Russell Welford Bunting, University of Michigan oral pathologist, had decided that acidophilus bacilli make teeth decay. That meant that Professor Bunting probably was through fussing with the mouths, meals, appetites and digestions of the 300 orphans, whom he has had under close dietary supervision for the past five years...
Acidophilus bacilli are the germs which the late great Russian Biologist Elie Metchnikoff recommended as an aid to digestion and longevity. They live and reproduce in every person's mouth, as well as in his bowels. But they do not attack the teeth of a masticator until his natural immunity to them drops below a certain level. Seven out of every hundred people retain such immunity throughout life; ten are born lacking it entirely; and 83 retain it only if they eat sensibly. Gist of Dentist Bunting's remarks last week before the Michigan Academy of Science, Arts...
...reduced the splendid German national culture to an incoherent barbarism. That the friends and representatives of the Hitler government should dare to lay this swastika wreath in the name of peace, at the precise moment when Hitler, throwing aside all pretense, is arming his enslaved nation to the teeth, is a glaring example of the obscene hypocrisy which is typical of Fascist decay...

One, announced by Dr. Chester Stock of Caltech, was a titanothere -a vegetarian mammal of 30,000,000 years ago, larger than an Indian elephant, which grew a preposterously thick and spreading horn from its snout and browsed with its lips because its front teeth were useless. The other fossil was the skull of a 20-ft. whale which 15,000,000 years ago had a three-foot beak. It was discovered by University of California undergraduates while doing field work in entomology. The beak was missing...
