...keep the butter from sticking to the bottom of the kettle, a handful of copper pennies was thrown in the butter and the stirrer would move them about over the bottom of the kettle and when they were retrieved when the kettle was emptied you never saw such lovely bright pennies as they were. Brighter I'm sure than when they came from the mint and none of us got sick from eating that apple butter. Our favorite way of eating it was to put it on nice brown buckwheat cakes and pour over all plenty of rich sweet...
Parade. Slogan of the Legion's Convention this year was "Up Fifth Avenue Again in 1937" and its members started to live up to it last week on the bright crisp morning of the first day of autumn, 20 years after its members entered the trenches in France. When the parade started, 1,000,000 New Yorkers were lined up along the sidewalks to watch it. Shops along Fifth Avenue, closed for the day, had boarded up their plate-glass show windows. Traffic for blocks on both sides of the city's central artery was ordered to detour...

Since motion picture film must pause 16 times each second to make its record, Dr. Reynolds likewise interrupts his X-ray beam 16 times a second. This reduces the danger in X-ray work of burning a patient or sterilizing him, and therefore enables Dr. Reynolds to make exposures of as long...
...Europe, sent to Harvard. There in a class (1910) that included John Reed, Heywood Broun, Kenneth MacGowan, Robert Edmond Jones, Lippmann worked so hard and well that he finished his course in three years, spent his fourth year as assistant to Philosopher George Santayana. William James thought him a bright boy. But it was a British social philosopher visiting at Harvard, Graham Wallas (author of The Great Society which in title at least was the obvious forerunner of Pundit Lippmann's latest book) who really fired Lippmann's imagination, gave his sprouting career its direction. When Lincoln Steffens...
