Earlier researchers found that ordinary maple syrup afforded high resistance to ice; but was easily "scrubbed" off by the wind. Working along other lines, experimenters tried heating the wing edge by an extended exhaust pipe. They found ice would form behind the pipe nearly as heavily as along the edge...

It would be a considerable, misfortune if Harvard's second attempt at instruction in the drama should exhaust itself in a diffusion of inadequate and meaningless dabbling in the manner of a ladies' dramatic club...
...When the muscles are working so fast that they cannot get enough oxygen for their recovery process," Dr. Dill explained, "lactic acid accumulates in them and leaks out into the blood, producing or tending to produce exhaustion. We placed DeMar on our horizontal treadmill, geared to a speed of 9.3 kilometers an hour, and found that the amount of exhaust acid he had accumulated at the end of twenty minutes was almost negligible...
...United States itself," said Rear Admiral W. S. Sims, U. S. N. (retired) in an informal talk to members of Naval Science classes in the Old Fogg lecture room yesterday afternoon.
