...considerable part of the laboratory will be devoted to the study of the effect of stress on variously shaped solid bodies with the aid of polarized light and sensitive cameras. The distribution of stress and strain exerted on a notched object, for example, can be detected by bands of colored light which are recorded on the photographic plate in the camera. The English scientist, Coker, developed the process early in the last decade, but its practical engineering value is just beginning to be realized...
Long years ago the future President Paul Doumer attended the wedding of the future dean of Paris cameramen. Last week it came about that bearded Photographer Piston was standing with his flashlight upraised, his camera trained on the patriarchal President at the precise instant when a tall, burly Russian bounded forward and fired point-blank at M. Doumer with a Colt pistol. Instantly dropping his flashlight, Photographer Piston wielded his camera like a club, beating the assassin over the head, stunning him momentarily-and throwing away the chance to make a Picture of the Century...
...heavyweights. Last year he had 15 fights, won only eight. If you defined efficiency as a fighter's ability to earn money at his trade, Kingfish Levinsky might rank as best fighter in the U. S. In the last 15 months, gates at his fights with Slattery, Griffiths, Camera, Paulino and an exhibition bout against Jack Dempsey have amounted to $254,124.68. He may this year earn more than Schmeling, Sharkey, Dempsey, Camera or Schaaf. Kingfish Levinsky's earning power is due partly to an engaging slapstick manner in the ring, an engaging entourage which includes his sister...
...Press gave much notice to their doings. Soul Surgeon Buchman, who looks to the camera much like his good friend John D. Rockefeller Jr.'s cousin Percy (see p. 55), handed out envelopes full of clippings from British newspapers, said he appreciated the publicity he had gotten from "the Bishops" and the Press in England. He explained that "this is a peripatetic group, just as the disciples of Jesus. It goes wherever God guides it." He smiled amiably, as did his entourage, 17 of whom had prepared typewritten statements for the reporters, describing themselves and the manner of their...
...different witness was baldish Percy Rockefeller. Shy and beady-eyed, looking to the camera much like his cousin's friend Soul Surgeon Frank Buchman (see p. 22), he was prodded unmercifully by Counsel Gray. He said he could not remember what stocks he had sold last January (12,000 shares), although he had covered them only five or six weeks ago. Mr. Gray could get no substantiation of stories that Mr. Rockefeller, sitting on bank boards, would learn what stocks would be forced on the market at certain figures, after which the bears would force prices down below...
