...step-up with an advice-to-all-comers page for Crowell's Woman's Home Companion. Her ingratiating daughter Anna Dall, who has her mother's long legs and vivacity, remains available for advertising, since her broadcasting contract with Best & Co. expired. By no means as brilliant a White House daughter as "Princess"' Alice Roosevelt (Longworth), her second cousin, she and her children "Sistie" (Anna Eleanor) and "Buzzie" (Curtis Roosevelt) do warm and brighten the place tremendously in contrast to the Wilson, Harding, Coolidge and Hoover atmospheres. Since her estrangement from her stockbroking husband, Anna Dall...
...invited to its headship a famed Scottish lawyer, son of a Scottish parson, Hugh Pattison Macmillan, Baron Macmillan of Aberfeldy, co-author of the brilliant "Macmillan Report" of the British Treasury Committee on Finance & Industry. So sound and lucid was it that it became the only Blue Book ever published in Britain to net a profit. Second member of the Commission was another son of a Scottish parson, Sir Charles Addis, onetime director of the Bank of England. These two Scotsmen Premier Bennett balanced with two Canadian bankers, Sir William Thomas White and Beaudry Leman. To give Western Canada...

Both sides played recklessly brilliant offense, but the goaltending by Chicago's Chuck Gardiner and New York's Andy Aitkenhead was more brilliant. Of innumerable smashing attacks only one got through for a goal-against the Rangers...
Nicknamed "Rabbit" as are small, fast backfield men everywhere, Georgia's 142-Ib. Homer Key sprinted 40 yd. through Vale. Thence he and his brilliant teammates Cy Grant and George Chapman, 200-lb. fullback, worked the ball to the 2-yd. line. Chapman punched over the touchdown. Yale played by far its best football of the season in holding Georgia to that lone touchdown...
Wave mechanics and matrix mechanics are different mathematical expressions of the same theory. A third description of electron behavior, which strengthened rather than contradicted the other two representations, was contributed by last week's third prizewinner, Cambridge University's brilliant young Dr. Dirac. Also, long before lightweight protons or "positrons" were experimentally observed by Caltech's Dr. Carl David Anderson (TIME, March 6), Dr. Dirac had declared such particles to be required by mathematical necessity. But this shy, angular youngster with small Wack eyes and small black mustache, already a big frog in the subatomic puddle, made...
