...noticeably weak. While their friends in Russia are overcoming the inertia of centuries of aristocratic incompetency, they hurl insults and repeat the old catchwords which have a strong emotional glamor, but, when they stand alone, no definite meaning. When they are permitted to harangue bystanders, Communist orators quickly exhaust their supply on invectives, and only the arrival of the police can make their demonstrations interesting even to the most bitter opponents of capitalism...
...fearer of publicity. Born in Kentucky 58 years ago, graduated from Yale in 1895, he is a somewhat unkempt savant, fond of his pipe, his British tweeds, his tennis. Professor Henderson developed gas-masks used by U. S. troops in the World War, has done much research in automobile exhaust gases, in the biochemistry of respiration and the physiology of circulation. Year ago he wrote an article for the Yale Alumni Weekly in dispraise of "industrializing education" and "unionizing professors," publication of which coincided with the A. A. U. P.'s meeting in Cleveland (Time, Jan, 12). Last week...

Rum chasers hereafter will carry gas masks...
...pumped gasoline up into the wing tanks. Hard work, but nothing compared to the ordeal of last summer when he and Harold Bromley got i.200 mi. from Japan in an attempt flight to the U. S. and then had to fight their way back to shore with a broken exhaust ring spewing carbon mon- oxide gas into the cabin. That put him in a hospital for two months. This navigating business had been his forte since he entered the Royal Australian Naval College at 13. For many years he was a mariner, then studied aerial navigation under famed Lieut. Commander...
