...seen many "Duncan Dancers." New to the Lewisohn Stadium was the group which performed last week: large-legged Irma Duncan and her Isadora Duncan dancers, known simply as Ruth, Sima, Julia, Hortense, Minna and Raya. For them a stage was built in the Stadium, a lattice set up to conceal the New York Philharmonic-Symphony Orchestra. Barefoot, clad in flowing Greek garments, they performed Tchaikovsky's "Pathetic" Symphony, two Slavonic Dances of Dvorak, the rollicking Dance of the Apprentices from Wagner's Die Meister singer. Then Irma Duncan, most active exponent of Isadora's tradition. danced as an encore...
Eastman had good reason to be tired by that race. If he was, he managed to conceal it. After an hour's rest, he started near the front in the half-mile and took the lead after 400 yards. It was Hallowell who was tired, after losing a terrific mile to Mangan of Cornell. Turner of Michigan and Hudder Dawson, the Princeton captain, challenged Eastman in the stretch but neither could whittle down his lead. Winner by ten yards, Eastman's time was 1:51.9, or .3 sec. slower than the world's record and one second...
...doors of the largest airplane hangar in the world were rolled hack to reveal what U. S. aircraft manufacturers had to offer for 1932.

But the exhibitors assured each other that they, who had answered this roll call, were in business to stay; pointed with pride to advances...
...Leverett maintains an attractive and congenial atmosphere. The public rooms are large and graceful with an air of comfortable informality. In decorating the dining room, one of the handsomest features of the House Plan, the architects made skilful use of two circles, of unequal size, and an oval, to conceal through optical illusion the fact that the room, following the plot of ground on which it is built, is a trapezoid. The Junior Common Room, while too small for any large House function, offers a pleasant gathering place for after dinner coffee and the various talks which have been given...
Attempts to conceal suicides are quite frequent in a medical examiner's experience. In one case when entering the bed-room of a youth said by his sister to have died of heart trouble, Dr. Magrath noted the peculiar color of his ear. Although the room was free from odor, turning down the bed-clothes brought forth the smell of illuminating gas. An examination of the blood showed it to be of the bright magenta color peculiar to victims of gas asphyxia. The ordinary color of blood encountered in autopsies is a grayish blue. Dr. Magrath went out into...
