...said that the present staff of Yard Cops would not retire with him, but since they were ageing fast would be retained for sentiment's sake
...might be expected the rivals become fast friends and are to be seen together scouting the bright seas for frolic and fistfighting. In Marseilles they meet Marie, who loves the swab and is beloved of Madden. She, a most charming piece, almost defeats their friendship, but not quite. At the end, Spike Madden and Salami, both very drunk, fare forth from Marseilles in search of further fun beyond the seas...
...feature of the tournament was the singles match between Hill and J. W. Van Ryn of Princeton, a Davis Cup player, in which the Harvard player lost out, 6-4, 6-3 in a contest replete with fast playing. Hill had, in the second round of the tourney, defeated McDonald of Swarthmore 6-4, 6-3. Both Hill and Van Ryn drew byes in the opening round and their match in the third bracket was closely followed by the spectators. Arthur Ingraham '30 succumbed to Lavine of Pennsylvania in the first round after a hard fought match...
Tandem Tubes. To get gamma rays to rush as fast from his tube as they do from radium, Dr. Coolidge would need about 2,000,000 volts of electricity. To get beta rays as penetrating as those from radium, he would need 3,000,000 volts. If he could create such voltages and if he could direct them properly, he would be, according to Philosopher Henri Bergson, at the heart of the world. Dr. Coolidge has succeeded in using 900,000 volts effectively. How he worked, he described to the engineers at Manhattan last week after receiving his latest medal...
...anode to the first and cathode to the second. There 300,000 more volts kicked the speeding electrons into the next similarly acting cylinder, where 300,000 more volts gave a final kick. The rays cascaded out of the apparatus at 175,000 miles per second-almost as fast as light, 350,000 times faster than a rifle bullet. Dr. Coolidge watched them, hiding within a lead-lined, lead-paned booth so that he might not be injured by the incalculable effects of his experiments...
