Died. Sir Patrick Geddes, 78, biologist, sociologist, philosopher, pioneer city planner; in Montpellier, France. Trained in biology under Thomas Huxley, he quickly achieved fame in his subject, then focused this knowledge on sociology. For the solution of social problems he labored to find a calculus as Leibnitz and Newton had found one to solve mathematical problems. Led by his environmental interpretation of evolution to college and town planning, he designed the Hebrew University building in Jerusalem, reconstructed the slums of Edinburgh, laid out Rabindranath Tagore's university in Bengal. Correlator of the arts and sciences, he wrote Evolution...

Last spring Dr. Francis Ferdinand...
...Biologist Harvey and Banker Loomis are old collaborators. Two years ago they devised a chronograph to record the speed and variation of human heart beats over long periods. They have developed an ultra-rapid micro-cinema camera which photographs the "death" of cells when attacked by intense sound waves. In his Tuxedo Park laboratory Mr. Loomis has experimented for years with "super sound" waves, too rapid for the human ear to detect, which kill fish, paralyze mice, sterilize blood (TIME, Feb. 6, 1928). But electricity and physics are only a pastime with him. In 1920, with Landon K. Thome...
