The article presents information on the paper "Convict Control of Convicts," by Hans Reimer. The convict control of convict behavior is definitely related to the conflict situation between officers and convicts. The life of a criminal, in and out of prison, is characterized chiefly by conflict with society and its agents. The new man in a prison soon learns the necessity of responding to the prison situation according to the dictates of the rest of the convict body. In any penal institution it becomes necessary to assign important administrative tasks to inmates.

The article presents information on the paper "Measuring Human Living," by Howard R. Cottam. In order to reconcile between the need of meticulous details on the one hand and speed on the other, it seems feasible to mathematically determine which of the innumerable factors best represent human living. Only then it is known precisely what a key factor means in terms of other factors can it reasonably be considered to represent them. Consequently, it is the selection of representative criteria and the definition of these in terms of other criteria that the present study is concerned.

The article presents an abstract of the paper "Parole, Its Success and Failure," presented at the Beta Chapter of the sociological society Alpha Kappa Delta at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln, Nebraska. Effective parole can be accomplished only when certain factors work together. These factors are well trained, qualified administrations, planned programs based on psychological, psychiatrical case work studies and social work, the indeterminate sentence and public education as to the aims and purposes of parole. Parole is not a method whose purpose is to grant leniency to a convicted offender. Parole theory recognizes that a social conduct is caused by multiple factors in the life of an offender.

X-rays showed periostitis and other bone changes, disorganization of joints, and consequent deformities of the most severe degree. The skin lesions closely resembled psoriasis, both clinically and microscopically.

This article discusses the paper "Idiopathic Calcinosis Cutis," by Ervin Epstein. The paper contains a report of 2 cases of idiopathic calcinosis of the skin and subcutaneous tissue and observations from the study of 16 additional cases in the literature. The second case was that of a woman who presented hard subcutaneous masses on the thighs and elsewhere, which were found histologically to be the result of a coalescence of small concretions, and were associated with an increase in the fibrous tissue and an infiltration of lymphocytes.

This article discusses the paper "Lichen Planus Et Acuminatus Atrophicans," by Samuel Feldman. Two cases of the type which has been described as folliculitis decalvans et lichen spinulosus are here described in two men, aged respectively 62 and 41 years. These cases showed atrophic lesions on the scalp, and spinous and pigmented lesions on the glabrous skin. Microscopical examination of a section of the skin showed hyperkeratosis, dilated follicles filled with horny plugs, flattened papilla;, lymphocytic infiltration about the follicles, and sclerosis of the collagen.

This article discusses the paper "Contributions to the Study of Urticaria," by P. Chevallier. The author describes cases, in which pruritus was the only symptom, the individuals thus suffering from the disease urticaria without the physical sign urticaria. In the case of gastric urticaria the author was able to observe the actual wheals on the stomach-wall through the gastroscope in no less than five cases.

This article discusses the paper "Urticaria With Atrophy of the Stomach," by P. Chevallier and F. Montier. Authors studied 24 cases of urticaria, directing their attention especially to examinations of the gastric juice, gastroscopy, and the therapeutic effects of iron. They found that digestive urticarias are associated almost always with diffuse gastric atrophy ; these as a rule do well on iron in strong doses.

This article discusses the paper "An Unusual Case of Scleroderma," by R.H. Pavlovitch. The paper discusses the relationship of sclerodermias and acrodermatitis atrophicans, and also the possible dependence of either or both on a disturbance of collagen metabolism. The appearance of the microsections is extensively described.

This article discusses the paper "Silver and Gold Pigmentation of the Skin," by A. Gascos. The author describes a case of argyria, and compares the condition with pigmentation due to gold. Light causes silver to be deposited in exposed areas of skin much more so than is the case with gold. The color in argyria is grey, and more metallic looking than in chrysosis, which is more blue and much less metallic looking.

This article discusses the paper "Sarcoids: Their Possible Leprogenic Origin," by J. Rabello. In this paper the author has discussed the theories of causation of sarcoids. The author expresses the opinion that the theory of a disease sui generis rests on a very unstable basis constructed almost entirely of negatives. Tubercle and leprosy, the author shows, can each produce the clinical and histological syndrome, which is called "sarcoid."

This article discusses the paper "Sarcoids: Does the Pure Erythrodermic Type Exist?" by L.M. Pautrier. A case of nodular sarcoids is described affecting face, arms and back in a woman, aged 41 years. The nodules showed the characteristic histological appearances like masses of epithelioid cells. There were nodules affecting also the skin of the toes, and producing an appearance rather resembling "spina ventosa." The bones of the phalanges, however, did not show osteitis, but the classical clear spaces which have been described in association with sarcoids.

This article discusses the paper "Pigment in Alopecia Areata," by F. Woringer and R. Thee. Authors describe their examination of sections taken from cases of alopecia areata with a view to determining the distribution of melanin in patches of alopecia areata.
