...Rochester where he was helped by his strong, handsome appearance. In Rochester last year he found a second wife for himself, pretty, 21-year-old Janet ("Jansy") Lewis, a student at the Eastman School of Music.

Bios, a substance essential for the growth of yeast, was cracked into its parts at the University of Oregon last week. An electrical current drifting through a tank of many compartments did the splitting and neatly deposited each fraction in a separate cubicle. Since bios actuates the growth of yeast as hormones actuate the growth of animals and since bios seems closely akin to vitamins ("food hormones"), it may be that one or more of the bios fractions are common to both vitamins and hormones. That possibility has tremendous significance for biochemistry. It also has great import for Professor Roger...

...Paris, savants of the French Medical Academy ruled upon an appeal by French bakers that they be allowed to use baking powder in bread. To support their appeal, the French alleged that baking powder is used by U. S. bread-bakers (most U. S. bakers use yeast) and that the health of U. S. bread-eaters has never been impaired in consequence. The use of baking powder, they declared, is an "efficient method," a "laborsaving device" and a ''time-saving expedient'' because it makes possible the elimination of manual kneading...
