...University, largest Negro university in the U. S. As they arrived they were handed copies of the Alumni Journal, published by the university's General Alumni Association. Three hundred copies were distributed before police routed the distributors. On the Journal's cover was a large portrait of bald, pince-nezzed, light-skinned Dr. Mordecai Wyatt Johnson, first Negro president of the 71-year-old institution, now serving his twelfth year, and beneath it in large letters: "The Case Against President Mordecai W. Johnson...
Thus acclaimed in Cincinnati last week by Tom Shea, poet laureate of the hoboes, was handsome, bald-headed Jeff Davis, head of Hoboes of America, Inc. and the International Itinerant Workers Union. The occasion: his coronation as king of the League of Hoboes of the World. Soon after the crown, conceived from the top of a coal-burning stove, had been placed on his head, said King Jeff: "This has a bolt inside, and it's starting to puncture my scalp...
Gropper. At bald, velvet-eyed Herman Baron's A.C.A. Gallery last week the best sharpshooter of all U. S. cartoonists had his third show of notable paintings.

Jauncey's Electrons. One storm centre is an able, bald, self-critical physicist named George Eric MacDonnell Jauncey, who adorns the faculty of Washington University at St. Louis. Recently at a convention of scientists in Indianapolis, Dr. Jauncey described experiments which convinced him that the rest-masses of beta rays (fast electrons) shooting out of Radium E were variable (TIME, Jan. 17). He passed his electrons through a velocity selector, then estimated their masses by their behavior in electrical and magnetic fields. Since then Dr. Jauncey has bombarded the Physical Review with numerous communications backing up his announcement...
