Since the day Germany invaded Poland the word Asse ("Axis") has not appeared in the Italian press. The "plutodemocracies," meaning France and Britain (and sometimes the U. S.), which all summer long were the object of Fascist journalistic abuse, now get more or less fair press treatment. The Italian public has been reminded very seldom, if at all, that it was diabolical Britain which pushed sanctions against Italy four years ago and the once vociferous Italian claims on French-owned Tunisia, Corsica, Savoy, Nice and Djibouti have not been discussed out loud...
Although sulfanilamide and sulfapyridine work wonders in the treatment of pneumonia, they sometimes bring on a train of after-effects both irritating and dangerous, including vomiting, violent headaches, acute anemia. Last week Dr. Mark McDonough Bracken of Pittsburgh's Mellon Institute reported another "miracle drug" for treatment of pneumonia, cheaper than and just as effective as sulfanilamide and sulfapyridine, but much safer. No kin to the older drugs, tongue-tripping hydroxy-ethylapocupreine is derived from quinine, is usually swallowed in gelatin capsules.

Twelve years ago Chemist William John Matheson gave several hundred thousand dollars for a study of the disease. The fund has dwindled, for the Matheson Commission takes no money for treatment. Executive secretary of the Commission is capable Dr. Josephine Bicknell Neal who has investigated a remarkable Bulgarian belladonna treatment for chronic cases, long used in Europe. These tablets which Dr. Neal considers "by far the most effective method of symptomatic therapy," have improved the speech, tremors and vision...
...same room with the Derain painting are other fine examples of nineteenth and twentieth century art. We are fortunate in being able to see. Picasso's portrait of "Fernand Olivier," and find in the treatment of line and the philosophic calm an unmistakable declaration of indebtedness to some of the Chinese artists whose works are exhibited on the floor below. Subtle variations in the width and shape of lines, together with the apparently effortless rendition of form by means of this mode, serve to bring out clearly one phase of Picasso's electicism. Despite the fact that no single part...
