...pound and drawing more French and U. S. gold into world circulation. But Whitehall and Threadneedle Street seemed to think last week that progress can be made by urging the conference as a sine qua non without which general prosperity simply cannot be restored. Such a conference would doubtless decide that War Debts and Reparations should be cancelled (a view most "international" U. S. bankers already hold); might also decide that the Gold Standard is inadequate to back world credit needs (an alternative being bimetallism) and might finally pave the way, according to opinion heard in London last week...
Diagnosticians as well as surgeons doubtless will be vexed with Dr. Hoffman's blame. Appendicitis is not always easy to diagnose. The surgeon usually gets the case at the last minute, when the appendix is about to burst or has already burst and scattered its pus. It is almost always peritonitis which causes death...
Infection is the essential cause of appendicitis. The appendix is a taggle to the intestines, on the right side of the abdomen. It doubtless is the remnant of some organ useful to a primitive creature from which man evolved. But what that use was, anatomists have never agreed. It has no known use to present man. and it is often a nuisance. Feces, seeds, fruit stones, other digestive debris may pack into the appendix, set up an inflammation. Or the inflammation may represent an infection which originated in some distant part of the body...
...newsreel men were there on orders to take the prisoners pictures, broadcast them to the villages where the insurrectos still held out. There was no hint of the shark slide for the captured leaders. On the contrary a great show of courtesy was made-the duration of which would doubtless match the duration of the revolt. Havana regarded Machado's triumph sourly. There were no cheers, there were no crowds. General Menocal stepped ashore first, gaunt, his beard (which makes him look so much like Brig.-Gen. Cornelius Vanderbilt) untrimmed. his clothes torn and soiled. Yet he held...
...Lieut.-Colonel Piers Legh, Edward Albert, Prince of Wales, last week came to the 220-yd. sixth hole at the Royal Wimbledon Golf Course, near London. As he teed his ball and attempted to intimidate it with the emphatic waggle which marks him as a mediocre golfer, it doubtless never crossed the Prince's mind that he might get a hole-in-one. Nevertheless, after a swing a little smoother and a click a little firmer than usual, the ball soared straight to the apron of the green, rolled between two hummocks true to the pin and, with...
