France Rushes Electrifying of Railroads
Paris reports rapid electrification across France with the Paris Orleans Midi line leading at 1,652 miles of energized track.

The PO M system spans from Bordeaux to the Mediterranean, totaling 1,167 miles, and began in 1900 Paris routes, expanding beyond the city by 1927 after initial 1911 southern section progress.

Dead Seven Minutes But Can't Remember
Vincent Montessi, 63, was clinically dead for seven minutes during a George Washington Hospital operation. Dr. Frederick Reuter revived him by massaging his heart and maintaining blood flow until his heartbeat returned. Days later Montessi learned of the episode and recalled only falling asleep under anesthesia and waking with weakness.
