Stephen Tyree Early is Franklin Roosevelt's Master of Newshawks. Unlike skinny Mr. Howe and skinny Mr. Mclntyre, he is a big, fat-jowled fellow, of the type that appeals to Postmaster General Farley. His newspaper experience was largely gained as an Associated Pressman in Washington. His business now is to jolly the Press along, see that the "boys" obey the White House rules on quoting and not quoting the President, bark out his angry displeasure at those who do not play his game. For those who dance to his piping he frequently finds good jobs as pressagents in various...
...necked, squat, hornless, sleek-black creatures. In Lake Forest, Anderson & Findlay's big Angus bull had soon serviced five Angus cows, and before long other breeders, in Kansas, in Iowa, were adding Anguses to their herds.

He believed that knowledge of psychic phenomena had been impeded on one hand by emotional fervor and on the other by unreasonable skepticism. He knew that to most scientists the very words telepathy and clairvoyance smacked of vaudeville hood-winkery and fat. dark women. But if telepathy and clairvoyance existed, he reasoned, they should be accessible to scientific approach. He went to Duke's Professor McDougall, got a post at the university and facilities for research...
...cream machine, which looks like a potato ricer, cannot make cream without milk and butter. The butter is first desalted by melting it in hot water, which is drained off after absorbing the salt. Then the residue of pure butter fat is mixed with milk in a cup-like container at the top of the apparatus, in which is suspended a piston on the end of a handle. When the handle is pressed down, the milk and butter are forced through a narrow hole under pressure (600 lb. per sq. in.), spun down the curls of a valve and spring...
