...radiendocrine treatment" for old age which promises greater success than the gland operations of less recent fame. Failure of the endocrine, or ductless, glands to supply their secretions in sufficient quantity is believed the cause of senescence, and by a new type of radiation they are stimulated to normal functioning. Dr. Herman Rubin says of the new discovery: "I have had the pleasure of using this newer method of radiation in about three hundred cases, and I have effected true rejuvenescence of cell structure in every case treated. . . . For how long a period life can be extended, no one knows...

...laboratory. Experiments have been made on spotted rats; and the transplanted eyes have undergone varying degrees of change from complete destruction to mere cloudiness of the tissues. Most of the cause for failure is believed to be secondary infection. In the most successful experiments, the transplanted eye appears normal in size; the cloudiness clears up; and, so far as the scientists have been able to determine, there may be some return of vision. Prof. Carlson has controlled Dr. Koppanyi's work and believes that it demonstrates definitely that transplantation can be carried out with at least partial success...
...bales of 500 lb. each. This is a reduction of only 97,000 from the estimate by the same source for Sept. 16. The Department was almost equally reassuring as to the condition of the crop, which as of Oct. 1 it placed at 53.5% of normal, compared with a rating of 55.4% a fortnight earlier.

To the intelligentsia there, "the best of times" had been followed so swiftly by "the worst of times" that incongruities became the normal order. In Paris, too, metropolitan tastes prepare for strange blendings of the new with the old. But anywhere in America his prototype simply did not exist. In New York he might have appeared with least outrage to the imagination. Even in Chicago his tendencies could have been understood as the blind graspings of virlle but untutored genius. But in Boston, of all places, the appearance...
