Last week Toledo's Buckeye Paint & Varnish Co. was going ahead with plans to manufacture and market Iceolite, at a price of $2.50 per sq. ft. A rink 100 ft. by 50 would thus cost $12,500, but would last a long time. Scratches and shavings cut by skate blades could be melted back smoothly into the rink's surface with flat irons (see cut). The irons would also be used to meld the cracks between the blocks after they are laid down. Liquid Iceolite is poured into molds, congeals into blocks...
...murk or because the lamp supposed to illuminate the license plate is extinguished. But such conditions would not affect infrared radiation. Last week Commissioner Foote's plan was to install in patrol cars infrared cameras which would snap a picture of the license plate of a car ahead under the worst conditions. By means of a mirror arrangement the patrol car's speedometer will be included in the picture, thus giving a record of the speeder's speed...
Mauretania, So well ahead were the plans of Cammell Laird's Birkenhead shipbuilders last week that rivets were going into plates on the top decks of Great Britain's new 33,000-ton Cunarder, largest liner ever built in England,* and costing an estimated $10,000,000. Launching is scheduled for July.

Pages of statistics prove that most fatal accidents occur to experienced male drivers in the prime of life going straight ahead on dry roads in clear weather-but at high speed. Most arresting fact: In all its history the U. S. has had but 15 years* of war, with a total killed of 244,357. Killed on U. S. highways during the last 15 years of peace...
...produced in one prison while its author languished in another. At Sing Sing, Taken from Life unwound through 22 scenes, involved a murder defendant whose guilt or innocence the audience was pointedly asked to judge. In Tombs Prison in Manhattan, Playwright Arthur Chalmers, also charged with murder, still had ahead of him the verdict of a more orthodox jury...
