Simple goiter, which is the commonplace type, may be transient. It is closely tied up with lack of iodine in the system. Dr. David Marine proved this by feeding Akron school children iodine twice a year from 1916 to 1919 and practically eliminating goiter from that bedeviled community. Most specialists work on the assumption that, for deficiency of iodine, the starved thyroid must work extra hard and grow bigger. On the other hand. Colonel Robert McCarrison from evidence he gathered in the Punjab is certain that germs in drinking water indirectly cause goiter. Iodine in drink or food, he believes...
...Eastman, Stanford's world's record quarter-miler; Keith Brown, Yale jumper who last week helped beat Harvard for the Big Three championship; Bill Bonthron, Princeton's promising half-miler who wears such handsome clothes that they have twice been stolen from his locker at track meets: these are three of the track athletes who will perform in this week's Intercollegiate Championships at Cambridge, Mass, which as usual Stanford or Southern California is favored to win. They and the other entrants in the Intercollegiates last week had reason to consider with awe another athlete...
...Kiss Before the Mirror (Universal) is a thoughtful little drama based on the premise that you should think twice before you give your wife a kiss while she is at her dressing table. Two men try it in this picture. Both fare badly. Dr. Bernstoff (Paul Lukas) suspects from Mrs. Bernstoff's indifference that she is preparing for a rendezvous.

Between the years of 1908 and 1913, there has been proportionately twice as great a mortality among crew men as among the entire class. Between 1885 and 1909, the death-rate percentage for oarsmen and non-oarsmen is much the same, while in the earlier years, the crew mortality is again higher. Figures show that a greater percentage of crew men die between the ages of 40 to 46 than do the others. The death-rate however, is even between the years of 47 to 65, and again the crew mortality percentage is higher between the ages...
