...situation of the China kind in the fact of imperialistic capitalism. However, American diplomats must come to a more conscious realization of the graveness of the situation. I do not favor a retreat, which could only be stupid with Europe in the game, but I do favor a more cautious pressing of our suit. If all of us could only keep a sense of friendly rivalry we would be a long way toward maintenance of peace. But, give Japan some thought, for she is, after all, in her own sphere. Alfred M. Nittle...
...magneto-optic method by which Professor Allison predicted deuterium, and among scientists the worth of this procedure is debatable. In England Lord Rutherford (who calls deuterium diplogen and its nucleus the diplon) bounced deutons against deutons. Each collision produced a proton and something new of atomic weight 3. But cautious Lord Rutherford would not say whether the new product was an unexpected isotope of helium or the expected third isotope of hydrogen. To the chemists in St. Petersburg last week Dr. Ferdinand Graft Brickwedde of the U. S. Bureau of Standards, co-discoverer of deuterium, revealed that mass-three hydrogen...
...again. Louis M. Bobbitt, a chain drugstore man from Winston-Salem, N. C., one of the first amateur handlers in years to go up against the professionals in this stake, was there with a flashy little setter called Sports Peerless who won the gallery's fancy with his cautious wiggling and creeping when close to birds. He found and handled nine coveys perfectly in his three hours, to four coveys for his pointer bracemate, Shore's Carolina Jack. Another fine race was run by Jacob France's big pointer Kremlin who, under adverse conditions, found eight coveys...
...first time in a generation to appreciate the layman's point of view as governments fell, week after week, month after month, with nothing done. But. like most Frenchmen, honest "Gastounet" is at heart extremely conservative. He may adopt such simple superficial reforms as commend themselves to his cautious Gallic mind. But anyone who expects him to remake the legislative and political machine of France, to rid it of blocs, to break with deep-rooted traditions, is likely to be disappointed...
...spite of his years John Henry plays tennis, a cautious, slicing game. Sometimes the ball bounces far to the right, sometimes far to the left, and again most unexpectedly it may rebound into his own court. John Henry used similar tactics with Haiti's scheming politicians. To avoid even the appearance of militarism he wore civilian clothes. Through tall, thin, cafe-au-lait Louis Borno, John Henry kept tight rein on all Haitian legislation. Under him Haiti's internal and external debt was reduced to $14,000,000. He established eleven hospitals, 139 rural clinics to treat malaria...
