Short radio waves, passed through the body of a human being, heat him several degrees above normal temperature, and are used in radiothermal machines to treat such maladies as venereal disease and arthritis.

...airport to the B. A. C. as a free gift from a great-hearted city. Safely inland in case of war, less than eight miles from downtown Monument Circle, the airport is completely equipped, free of obstructions, has unlimited acreage for expansion, and would make an ideal permanent test field. To make B. A. C. feel at home, the city is prepared to float a $65,000 bond issue for necessary buildings.

Fifty-one years old, long a Manhattan celebrity, today a nationally-known figure, Woollcott has worked many a field in his time. As dramatic critic, first on the New York Times, later on the New York Herald, Sun and World, he gushed one day like a Southern belle, the next flogged, like Simon Legree.

Before dawn they boarded Mr. Spreckels' private plane to fly to San Francisco. The plane rose...
...indication," said hardworking, stiff-collared George Bucher, former executive vice president, "that the company's business may turn upward in the next few months." So saying, he took office as new president of Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Co. Westinghouse Electric (second in size to immense General Electric in the field of electrical equipment) in 1937 showed a $20,000,000 profit, the highest since 1929. But a better basis for Mr. Bucher's optimism was that at year's end Westinghouse had $63,000,000 of unfilled orders, enough to keep it busy for four months...
