After taking the Nazi salute and drawing a deep breath Orator Hitler put all his simple heart into his loud Automobile Show Address: "I regard the motorization of Germany as the most important factor in our fight against un employment! . . . The German motor vehicle is not only the fastest but-we can say this pridefully-the best in the world. . . . Soon the Fatherland will be self-sufficient in motoring! I consider that the problem of synthetic fuel, like that of synthetic rubber, has been solved by German Science in principle. ... I point pridefully to our Party's record: four...
Cheetahs, which look like little leopards, are the fastest animals in the world. A cheetah has been clocked at 103 ft. per second, twice the speed of a greyhound. In Africa cheetahs are used for hunting antelope. Hooded and chained, carried to the field in carts, they are released within 200 yd. of the game, restrained from eating their prey, when they have killed it, by being offered hot blood in a long-handled ladle. On an African hunting jaunt, Woolworth Donahue caught his cheetah when it was three months old, cured it of rickets by lime injections...

Manager Tommy Gorman who helped them win the Stanley...
...deduced in this manner, since the spectra are too faint to be analyzed. But it has been observed that speeds are closely proportional to distance, increasing about 1,000 miles per second for every 10,000,000 light-years of space. Few months ago Dr. Hubble measured the fastest nebular retreat at 24,000 miles per second. That one was 240,000,000 light-years away. No decipherable spectrum of the outpost nebula reported last week was obtained, but. if it follows the rule, it is receding from Earth at 50,000 miles per second...
...fastest selling cigaret last year was Chesterfield (Liggett & Myers) which sold 34.5 billion against 33.8 billion for Camel and 33 billion for Lucky Strike (TIME, Jan. 21). Last week Liggett & Myers reported 1934 earnings of $20,086,000, up more than $3,000,000 from 1933. Simultaneously the directors declared the usual extra dividend of $1 besides the regular quarterly dividend...
