Shrewd U. S. businessmen feared only that industrial production may exhaust consumer demand before buying power slowly revives. But pleasing facts were: a 2.7% March-to-April rise in factory employment, a 4.4% rise in payrolls in the State of New York, both contrary to the usual season trend: an announcement by Rhode Island's labor commissioner that industrial employment rose 5.6% in April, that at the close of the month it stood nearly 10% above a year ago. Only Rhode Island industry reporting no gain was jewelry. Another consumer index was the Federal Reserve's figure...
...fine, not both. Last fortnight two St. Paul judges chose jail, ordered Mrs. Clark to begin her term one day last week. She did not appear. Three days later a farmer found the Clark family's bodies huddled in their tightly-shut automobile, a hose in from the exhaust pipe...
...open cockpit of a Travelair biplane one day last week at Oakland Municipal Airport. After a minute or so the propeller began to turn. The plane started down the runway, gathered speed, soared into the air, its propeller beating a loud tattoo but without any noise of engine exhaust. After circling the airport at 1,000 ft. for about 15 minutes the plane glided to a landing and out jumped the two young men, grinning broadly. Thus unpretentiously, aeronautic history was made. For the first time, a steam-powered airplane had flown...
...priest, although he affects the conventional black suit of the learned U. S. Jesuit. No funster is he, although he chuckles continually. No nitwit is he, although he says of a steam engine device newly invented by his brother in Geneva: "It does something about the puff-puff-the exhaust-but I am not sure what it is." The Catholic University of Louvain educated him; the late Cardinal Mercier ordained him; M. I. T. taught him physics and English; Louvain created for him a chair of relativity. At 39 he deals with Nobel laureates...
Aeronautical engineers have long experimented with the two-cycle engine for airplanes. In such an engine the four strokes of the pistons-1) intake, 2) compression, 3) explosion, 4) exhaust- are reduced to 1) compression 2) explosion. Fuel is forced into and out of the cylinders by a pump. Complex lubrication is dispensed with by mixing oil with the gasoline. That advantage largely accounted for the failure of most experiments to date: the burned oil left heavy carbon deposits. Last week a new, light two-cycle engine was described by Dick Roberts, plump aviation editor of the Toledo Blade...
