Somewhere between Cape Cod and Cape Hatteras 17-year-old Richard W. Heurtley, Jr., erstwhile member of the Class of 1940, is padding his own canoe in a desperate attempt to reach Florida...

Almost every book shows flashes of inspired writing. Even the pedestrian Lincoln City Guide of Lincoln, Neb. brightens...
...surface of the distillate and a cold condensing surface, molecules can be separated by weight. "Dr. K. Hickman," said Dr. K. Hickman last week, ''began experiments in high-vacuum distillation in 1927. In 1931 he constructed the continuous molecular still and was able to separate from cod-liver oil a golden waxy concentrate which showed high potency of vitamins A and D. Up to this time, molecular distillation had been a scientific curiosity. It represented the ultimate in the application of vacuum...
...that as temperature increased, the distillation rate of each vitamin changed and each had its characteristic peak. By this means he established that different fishes manufacture different kinds of Vitamin D. Vitamin D obtained from bluefin tuna did not resemble, in distillation behavior, the vitamin from white sea bass. Cod-liver oil was found to contain two major Vitamin Ds and some minor ones, making at least four and possibly five in all. When the new stills are completed it is hoped that these will be isolated and identified...

Buyers went west, bought up raw wool, carried it back to Boston warehouses whence it was sold to mills. In 1931, however, a group of woolmen founded a wool tops futures market under the wing of the New York Cotton Exchange. Lately wool prices have slumped as have most other commodities and last week the wool business, still unused to the complexities of a futures exchange, suddenly began...
