...burning bush through which God spoke to Moses was atop either Mt. Sinai or, according to another tradition, Mount St. Catherine twelve miles to the south. St. Catherine is the higher. It is the highest (8,540 ft.) peak, the point nearest the Sun in the rocky Sinai Peninsula. For that reason-and because the atmosphere thereabouts is almost dustless, almost hazeless-rather than for holy associations, the Smithsonian Institution decided that the top of St. Catherine was the best accessible place in the entire Eastern Hemisphere for a solar observatory. Secretary Charles Greeley Abbot last week announced that building...
First Dates. Off the town of Basra on the coast of Irak, the S. S. Registan, flying the Union Jack, upped anchor at noon Sept. 15.

Chicago had torn Col. Ruppert's heartstrings with four runs in the first inning off young pitcher Johnny Allen. After that the rumble and crash of Yankee bats made 17 hits, discouraged four Chicago pitchers. In the first, the side-whiskered Bush was knocked out of the box; in the third. Lazzeri smashed a homerun over the right field bleacher screen scoring two runs; in the sixth. Gehrig singled for two runs; in the seventh five hits made four more runs; and in the ninth, when the Yankees were four runs ahead, they made four more, two on Lazzeri...
