...eventual consequences of the" Black scandal would, it appeared, be more painful for Mr. Roosevelt than for his appointee. Sworn in secretly the day he received his commission, Justice Black had been measured for his robes before sailing for Europe. Last week, the Albany, N. Y. firm which specializes in judicial robes announced that Hugo Black's $90 costume of ebony French silk was ready to put on when Hugo Black returns. For the President the Black scandal came most embarrassingly at the time when he was not only proposing to reopen his campaign to put more sympathetic jurists...
With the coast effectively blockaded there seemed last week but two ways for any large amount of munitions to reach Chinese troops: from Russia, over the interminable caravan routes of Outer Mongolia, or from French Indo-China over the railroad from Hanoï to Yünnan in Yünnan Province. These would be thin trickles. China's only really efficient arsenal was at Mukden, has been in Japanese hands since 1931. Total output of other arsenals in China can provide about 800,000 rounds of rifle ammunition daily (about half a round per soldier), a few field...
...farm near Ausable Forks, N. Y., Artist Kent was surprised to hear of all the fuss.

...great discoveries of modern genetics is that certain hereditary characters are linked to the sex factor.

If a y-chromosome spermatozoon happens to penetrate the female ovum, the get is a boy; if an x-chromosome, it is a girl. Thus Professor Crew reasoned the shorter life expectancy of the male seems to be carried on a gene or genes in the y-chromosome. By delicate manipulations, geneticists have had some success in separating male and female elements in mammalian sperm, opening the prospect...
Last week in Our Lady of Lebanon Church in Brooklyn, N. Y. Catholic worshippers heard Mass sung in Old Syriac or Aramaic, the language Christ supposedly spoke, by a bearded prelate who looked more Jewish than Catholic. He was Most Rev. Cyril George Dallal. 60, Archbishop of Mosul, head of the Syrian Rite of the Roman Catholic Church, shepherd of 90,000 Christians who live among the 1,000,000 Mohammedans of Iraq. He had just arrived in the U. S., to tour cities in which live Syrian Catholics. How many such there are, no U. S. prelate seemed...
