Last week at a meeting of the Atlantic County Medical Society, 60-year-old Dr. Samuel Stern of Atlantic City announced that he had successfully used a new drug, Arthranol, for the treatment of arthritis. Arthranol is a highly complex salt made from a nitrogen compound, phosphorus and iodine. Since most doctors believe that a focus of bacterial infection is responsible for arthritis they have leaned toward vaccine treatment. Dr. Stern has long held that the most important beneficial elements in a vaccine are the aminoacids produced by bacteria. In hunting for a more potent form of aminoacid...
...Utah last week, two 200-lb. Englishmen wrestled for a world title. One was bespectacled George Edward Thomas Eyston, 41-year-old retired British Army captain, the defending champion. The other was moon-faced John Cobb, 37-year-old London fur broker, the challenger. Over Utah's Bonneville Salt Flats, considered the most satisfactory auto-racing strip in the world,* the two Englishmen, with no more fanfare than two moppets sliding down a hill to see who could go farther, took turns to see who could come closer to traveling six miles a minute-and incidentally break the world...
...defending champion had his inning first. Three weeks ago he drove his seven-ton, eight-wheeled Thunderbolt over the measured mile of glistening salt at an average speed of 345 m.p.h., 34 m.p.h. faster than man had ever traveled on earth.

...temperature is pushed up seven or eight degrees, he stands a good chance of recovery. Whether the intense heat kills the germs, or stimulates the body to produce germicidal substances doctors do not know. Only ill effect of intense heat was delirium, now prevented by copious draughts of salt water to replace the salts lost in sweat. Artificial fever up to 107.5° F. does not injure the brain, but the precise effect of such an abnormal temperature on mental processes has not yet been discovered...
...since written nine (to Wife Kathleen's 60), dealing with such topical problems as education (Salt), marriage (Brass), women in business (Bread), birth control (Seed). They have brought him neither the literary reputation of his brother nor the big profits of his wife. But they have been moderately good, moderately successful, have kept him from being known as simply "Kathleen Norris' husband." Bricks Without Straw takes the topical theme of Radical Youth. Son of a strait-laced Midwest banker, likable, 20-year-old Jerry Kennedy went to Manhattan in 1904, fell in love with a beautiful music student...
