Revenues. Federal receipts of $5,294,000,000 were 23% larger than in fiscal 1936 and about the same amount larger than pre-Depression receipts. For the fifth year in succession they had grown and now, except for 1920 and 1921 when war taxes were still in force, are the largest in history. Previous all-time high: $6,695,000,000 in fiscal...
...last year's Intercollegiate Regatta at Poughkeepsie, Washington scored a clean sweep. Had Washington sent no crews at all, last week's Poughkeepsie Regatta would still have amounted to a demonstration of Washington's rowing supremacy. Every shell on the Hudson except Syracuse and Columbia used the Washington technique of a short "layback" and a swift catch. But none could flip the blades back faster than Washington's oarsmen, who concentrated their strength in the middle of the stroke, made most headway even in choppy water...
...James Matthews, who now helps Callow at the University of Pennsylvania. At graduation Al Ulbrickson was appointed freshman coach at Washington, was made head coach next year when Rusty Callow left for Penn.

...Smithsonian Institution's tireless Ales Hrdlicka recently caused an anthropological stir by discovering in the Aleutian Islands the skull of an Aleut which had a capacity of 2,005 cc. (TIME, Oct. 12). This was the largest on record in the Western Hemisphere, the largest anywhere except for one huge, famed Russian head: that of Novelist Ivan Turgenev which was measured at 2,030 cc. Last week a fragmentary skull found in Virginia and assembled at the Smithsonian outstripped even Turgenev's by an amazing margin, took indisputable first rank as the biggest head ever to pass under...
...cloud-chambers last spring by Drs. Jabez Curry Street & Edward Carl Stevenson of Harvard and by Dr. Carl David Anderson of California Institute of Technology (TIME, May 10). It does not con-form-as did the positive electron- to any mathematical predictions. Not much is known about it except that it is heavier than an electron, lighter than a proton, possessed of high penetrating power. In Denver last week Dr. Street announced that it may be positive as well as negative, that in his opinion it is not a messenger from outer space but originates about ten miles...
