...comparatively young man (he is 32), amiable, dimple-chinned Dr. Carl David Anderson of California Institute of Technology has accomplished a great deal in science. In 1932 he snapped the first picture of a positive electron. For this discovery he won the highest honor Science can bestow, a Nobel Prize. His pioneer positive electron photograph has become historic. In the Physical Review last week, Prizeman Anderson printed a snapshot of another kind of particle which may also become historic...

Results: The price of cotton had tumbled from about 12? last spring to 10?, cotton farmers' loud cries of "Do something!" were resounding in Southern Congressmen's ears...
...Pope in the White House," earned for Al Smith a Catholic martyr's crown. Year after his defeat he received the University of Notre Dame's Laetare-Medal, an award seldom given a politician and the highest honor the Catholic Church in the U. S. can bestow upon a Catholic layman. At Castel Gandolfo last week arrived Al Smith, on the pilgrimage which every good Catholic hopes to make before he dies...
