...schoolchildren to think about how better use can be made of the nation's resources. Building America has thus far escaped serious attack. Scripps-Howard's New York World-Telegram denounced the Power issue as propaganda for public ownership of electric utilities, but that dispute wound up with Scripps-Howard's Editor George B. Parker eulogizing the magazine as "one of the best [ideas] in the whole history of education in America." Month ago Editor & Publisher, house organ of the daily newspaper publishing industry, assailed the News issue as "far from objective, far from scholarly . . . unfair," while...
...shoulder, leaped onto a Standard Oil tanker which nosed alongside the gunboat, got ashore with the aid of a U. S. seaman and was taken to Wuhu by friendly Japanese.

Other foreign correspondent to die during the hostilities was Pembroke Stephens, crackman from the London Telegraph. He was machine-gunned while watching the siege of Shanghai from a water tower in the French Concession.

S. Admiral Harry Ervin Yarnell gave orders that U. S. forces in Shanghai, if attacked, were to fight back...
While studying the lymphatic system. a festoon of glands and channels which drains all the tissues of the body and parallels the blood system, Dr. Drinker observed that inflammation in a wound blocks the lymph channels in that part of the body. This blockade does two things. It causes substances, whose constituents Dr. Drinker confessed he does not know, to accumulate in the wound. These substances cause scars. The blockade also prevents the free flow of lymph to the site of the wound. Lymph, in some manner which Dr. Drinker still is trying to learn, destroys germs...
