Abruptly coming out of their three-day huddle. Secretary Hull & Delegates nerved themselves to present two statements of U. S. policy, the first of which they feared might wreck the Conference then and there. It must be sold adroitly to French Finance Minister Georges Bonnet or he might walk out of the Conference. Mild Mr. Hull, feeling perhaps not equal to the job, chose as his Delegation's super salesmen James Middleton Cox and sleek, persuasive Manhattan banker-expert James P. Warburg. Salesmen Cox & Warburg took the Frenchman into an inner committee room, M. Bonnet protesting that since President...
Gait Recorder. When patients with foot or postural troubles go to Orthopedist Russell Plato Schwartz in Rochester, N. Y., Dr. Schwartz puts hobnails on their shoes and has them walk over an electrified metallic floor, thus making an electrical transcription of their gait. The record tells whether a person limps, walks unevenly or has other faults of locomotion, reveals fake claims of injury after accidents.

When Donald tried to imitate her in this form of walking, he, being taller, kept bumping his father behind. Gua, while walking thus, kept perfect step with Professor Kellogg, unless he went too fast. In that case she would make skipping hops until in step again...
...very most. In all 5½ hours." In 1926 he "contracted" with himself to write 365,000 words during the year-an average of 1,000 words a day-fulfilled the contract by December 20. Whenever his ideas gave out he would go for an "idea-gathering"' walk, through the shopping district of London, to picture galleries or churches. Frank even in public, he was doubly so in his diary. "I also bought Legouis and Cazamian's Histoire de la Litterature Anglaise, chiefly in order to read the pages on myself." Though he knew it was a weakness...
