Emerging from the Vatican after a half-hour visit, loyally declaring that the Pope looked "well, bright and cheerful," Cardinal Dougherty said the Holy Father's message to his children in Manila was: "Pray for the re- establishment of peace in a world which needs it badly...

It seems as if they wait hopefully for some sudden chill to freeze them into their accustomed mass. The sky is bright and blue. Methinks much too much for a winter's morning.

...value for the brightness of the sun in comparison with the other stars has been detirmined at the Oak Ridge Station by Dr. Calder, who attains a relatively high precision by the use of the electrical methods of measuring light.

They average from five to eight inches long when market-sized. They are bright red in color, differing in this respect from the southern shrimps which are green, and generally live on muddy bottom in depths of 60 to 100 fathoms. That is not an easy place for small boats to reach with their limited gear.
