...Rhine's experiments are more impressive for bulk than for complexity. He uses a pack of 25 cards bearing five designs-a circle, a star, a plus sign, a rectangle, a band of three wavy lines-and there are five cards of each design in the pack. For clairvoyance, the pack is thoroughly shuffled, laid face down on a table, and the subject is required to call them off in order from top to bottom. In telepathy, he is required to guess the card visualized in the mind of an agent. Since at every step there is a choice...
...necessity of shipping an enormous volume of freight in an eight-month navigation season has compelled not only efficiency at Great Lakes ports but economy in Great Lakes ship design. Distinctive Lakes craft, introduced in 1906, is the standard 600-ft. bulk freighter, which resembles nothing so much as a huge steam barge with a minimum of upper-works fore & aft, engines and smokestack so far aft as to seem astern...
Hatched last week in the Manhattan offices of Adman Byron G. Moon was an ingenious scheme to end fabric design piracy. No matter how novel the design, fabrics cannot be successfully patented. Yet songs can be copyrighted.

Adman Moon sees no reason why Night and Day should not identify a black & white print, and April in Paris a design of horse-chestnut blossoms...
...mates, who believe him jinxed. Louis Hayward, a fellow officer, strikes up a friendship with him and makes his machine gunner in several brilliant air-raids. Meanwhile, in Paris and at camp, Hayward has fallen in love with Miriam Hopkins, Muni's wife, and this time it's no design for living. A situation that sacrifices the friendship of the two men on the altar of a woman's love can only result in the death of one of the lovers, and with superb irony it is Hayward who dies, leaving Muni to go back, broken by the ordeal...
...race home against the Jenny Cushman. Either alone would have made a good picture. Together, as luminous on the fantastic seascape of the banks as lightning on a ship's masthead, they make a fine one. So magnificent are its sweep and excitement, so harmonious its design, that Captains Courageous ranks above most current cinematic efforts, offers its credentials for admission to the thin company of cinema immortals. It is during the We're Here's race to Gloucester that the interwoven stories come to their climax. After a night of reckless seamanship, both ships are standing...
