...existence of animal life on Mars is anybody's guess. Mars is smaller, colder, drier than Earth, has a much thinner atmosphere. Adams and Dunham of Mt. Wilson have shown that the oxygen content of the Martian atmosphere must be less than 1% of the Earth's. Yet among different types of animal life on Earth there are enormous differences in the rate of oxygen intake, and it may be that animals on Mars have adapted themselves to the rare atmosphere by an ultra-slow rate of oxygen consumption. Such animals might be intelligent but they would also...
Having made Benedictine alone for 358 years, the Frenchmen of Fécamp recently launched a new line-"B and B" (for Benedictine & Brandy). This combination is familiar to every barfly who has found Benedictine too saccharine, mixed Cognac with it for a drier beverage.

The Manhattan liquor firm, of Julius Wile Sons & Co. spent two years persuading the Le Grand family that it could do a better job by aging the two together. Last week Julius Wile got the first shipment, bottled in the ancient bottle...

Add various tinting materials and the white paint assumes any desired color. National Lead aLso makes red lead, used most conspicuously as an anti-rust coating for structural steel. It has a line of lead alloys, particularly Babbitt metal (a lead-tin alloy used...
...first and drier half of Ethiopia's "dry" season, in which alone military operations are possible, is now over. Bombs sprinkled around the Man of the Year have failed to get him. If Calvin Coolidge and the U. S. Marines, unhampered by Sanctions, never did succeed in bringing General Sandino to reason in Nicaragua, all the more reason for Haile Selassie to feel that his goose hangs high. On the other hand, should Mussolini decide that the diplomatic game is up. Italy's forces should be able to give a better account of themselves than they have thus...
