From Cars to Babies Henry Ford’s Latest Hospital Plan
Henry Ford standardises the cost of babies in Detroit by establishing a hospital offering specialised medical service at low rates. The Detroit facility, staffed by 100 doctors including Dr Frank Sladen and Dr Roy McLure, aims to be service driven rather than profit focused. It treats 600 inpatients and many outpatients, with a staff limit of eight hours work for professionals and fully staffed nursing care. The hospital emphasizes sunlight, large airy rooms, and private bathrooms. Ford funds an annual deficit of about £75,000 to maintain the project, with critics watching its self supporting potential.

The Marvel of the Homey Bee Revealed by Glass Hive
Professor Karl von Frisen and pupil G A Rosch observe bees through glass to map a worker life cycle from emergence to death. Workers begin with cell cleaning and nursing, progress to feeding larvae, then guarding the hive, and finally become honey gatherers before a brief summer lifespan.
