Further explaining the situation, Mr. McCaleb said. "You see, it's just as if we were talking in an auditorium which had poor acoustics. In an auditorium the speaker's voice is overlapped by its own echo. The same thing happens with our signals, because one set of waves travelling around the world in one direction reaches the pole shoed of the corresponding waves travelling in the opposite direction. This makes their interpretation almost impossible...
...last two years has been military products. "There is no single armament company in the U. S. comparable to the Schneider group in France or Vickers-Armstrong in England." As far as deliberately fomenting breaches of the peace is concerned, U. S. arms makers might echo Bannerman & Sons' conscious innocence: "No firearms are ever sold in our store to any minor. We will not sell weapons to anyone who we think would endanger the public safety." Machine-gunmen get their "typewriters" from abroad, probably from Belgium. But Seldes accuses U.

...personifications of those influences which have played a major part in forming the character of the hero.

Year ago the Murray trustees completed plans for the John Murray Expedition. Last August the Mabahiss, 140-ft. trawler lent by the Egyptian Government, nosed out of an Alexandria dock, slipped through the Suez Canal, down the length of the Red Sea, finally emerged into the Indian Ocean. An echo-recording apparatus in the chartroom measured the time required for the sound to bounce back from the sea floor. With echo-sounding gear Expedition Leader R. B. Seymour Sewell and his staff systematically charted the ocean floor. In the Gulf of Aden they found ten ranges of theretofore unknown submarine...
Shut away in a Swiss sanatorium is the man the world once knew as the greatest of dancers. For months at a time he speaks no word. He still hears the echo of War guns. His dead, dumb eyes see soldiers dying around him. Sixteen years have passed since Vaslav Nijinsky danced in the U. S. But this winter the re-enact- ment of many of Nijinsky's great roles by the Monte Carlo Ballet Russe has aroused fresh talk of his genius (TIME, Jan. i). Next week will be published the story of Nijinsky's life, written...
