...Czechoslovakia," or immediately after Daladier announced his latest batch of decree-laws. In fact, a Labor leader chooses to general-strike when he gets a hunch he can win. It was on such a hunch that Labor Tsar Jouhaux acted last week. He has his desk in the control tower of the French General Labor Confederation's renovated, seven-story Paris "skyscraper." There last week he telephoned, telegraphed his labor-general-staff orders throughout France...
...noses of normal white mice with salt water, then pooled the washings and dropped minute amounts of bacteria grown from the mixture into the nostrils of 200 mice several times in one week. After two days' rest he inoculated their noses, and the noses of 100 healthy control mice, with large quantities of sleeping sickness virus. More than 60% of the mice with "colds" survived the sleeping sickness injections; of the healthy, untreated mice, less than 25% survived. It was not the nasal bacteria which saved the mice, said Dr. Armstrong. Rather the bacteria stimulated production of defensive leucocytes...
...abrupt change occurs at a certain heat above which iron, nickel and cobalt cease in effect to be magnetic. This critical temperature chemists call the Curie point. These two discoveries underlie the operating principle of a new alloy announced last week in Instruments ("The Magazine of Measurement and Control...
Metallurgist L. R. Jackson and Physicist Howard Willis Russell of the Battelle Memorial Institute (Columbus, Ohio) realized that if they could vary the ingredients of an alloy so as to set the Curie point at any desired temperature, they would have a highly sensitive substance for thermostatic control. Experimenting with several mixtures, they finally got what they wanted with an alloy of iron, nickel, chromium, silicon...
...depression he gets control of a steel mill, ruins a rich rival who once snubbed him. But he neglects his wife, his only daughter dies, a victim of his money-mania, his son hates him, turns poet, loves the daughter of MacTay's ruined rival. And when MacTay dies on the eve of the World War, having just completed a vast merger, his wife is quickly comforted by the thought that death is a kindlier rival than coal mines and steel mills...
