...cigar and finally a pipe from the air, astounds spectators as thoroughly as does Cardini, "The Suave Deceiver" in RKO vaudeville with the same trick. At one point the chorus parades around a dark stage with long glass tubes of rare gases (neon, argon) exposing them to an electro-magnetic field from time to time so that they light up in weird pale colors (''first time on any stage" I. The behavior of The Most Beautiful Girls In The World is a little subdued this year. Presumably as a result of Mayor "Holy Joe" McKee's theatrical...
...nearer the Equator, he observed, the less was the rays' intensity. Towards Earth's poles, the intensity increased. Electrons would give such an effect since they would tend to spiral polewards. His readings last week on Hudson Bay, he telegraphed Chicago, again confirmed his view. What special electro-magnetic effect the eclipse had upon his observations...
...track looked as though someone had driven an automobile through the jumps. Willi Welscher of Germany had knocked down four, enough to disqualify him. John Alton Keller of Ohio State had knocked down two and finished fourth, Donald Finlay of England who was given fourth place until an electro-photograph of the finish proved that he was third, was a step behind Percy Beard, Alabama Tech instructor whose scissor legs usually make up over the jumps what speed they lack on the flat. Even University of Iowa's lean George Saling had kicked over one hurdle, the last, when...
...Antoine Laurent Lavoisier on modern chemistry. It dissolves most metals (iron and platinum are among the few exceptions). Besides its familiar uses- gold and silver amalgams to fill teeth; filling for thermometers and ultraviolet ray lamps-it goes into explosives and drugs.

The world annually produces about 150,000 "flasks"* of mercury, gets almost all from Spain and Italy, yet appreciable quantities come from the U. S. (California, Nevada, Oregon, Texas, Washington, Arizona), Mexico, Japan...
...excepting Norman Bel-Geddes, a genius whose accent usually obscures the individuality of the playwrights he stages, Robert Edmond ("Bobby") Jones is the ablest designer of the U. S. theatre. Audiences will long recall his skillful settings for The Green Pastures, Mourning Becomes Electro, The Emperor Jones and a hundred other plays, without having been distracted from the quality of the plays themselves. Robert Edmond Jones, at 28, made a sensation with sets and costumes he designed for Granville Barker's pro duction of The Man Who Married a Dumb Wife. Later he became associated with Arthur Hopkins...
