...lawn of the Ohio State Penitentiary at Columbus. They had been asphyxiated or roasted to death in the nation's most grisly prison holocaust (TIME, April 28). A hundred feet away from the lawn is the institution's death house, where felons are mortally burned in another fashion. To this dread place, last week, two inmates serving long terms for robbery begged to be sent speedily. These two convicts were known as Clinton ("Cotton") Grate and Hugh Gibbons. They confessed to firing the prison in the hope of effecting a wholesale delivery...

...circumstances of the birth of the Post illustrated early Scripps-Howard characteristics, so did the purchase of the Herald exemplify later characteristics. For in just such fashion have Partners Howard and Scripps and General Manager William Waller Hawkins set about "cleaning up the territory" wherever there was one newspaper too many.

The nicety of the du Mond-Kirkpatrick experiment lay in their photographing thq rebounding X-rays in such fashion that the wavelength change could be exactly measured. The value of their work lay in its measuring electrons bound in atoms. An older method measures velocities of free electrons by use of an electric field, a magnetic field and a fluorescent screen.* Such methods disclose that some electrons move as slowly...

...sleeve. Last week Stout brought out of his sleeve a plane "that the public wants to buy"-a small two-seater monoplane distinctly and purposely suggestive of the famed old "Model T" Ford automobile. He named it the "Sky Car," admitting (hoping) that "the public, in its usual fashion, is likely ... to dub it something less formal." The Sky Car is a low-slung, truncated cabin suspended beneath a cantilever wing, with a tail assembly mounted at the end of an outrigger framework.

Neither dour Depression nor fickle Fashion have been able to halt the steady upward trend of U. S. cigaret consumption. Proud are U. S. cigaret-makers of last year's 120,000,000,000 production record. And also satisfied with the record is a potent French industry, the industry which turns out little strips of cigaret paper three inches long and one and one-half inches wide. For all U. S. cigarets are wrapped in paper imported from France...
