When popcorn is shaken over a fire, pleasant is the music its kernels make as they burst into white and edible blossoms. Last week U. S. industry, warmed by Recovery's flame, burst out in many a happy pop: ¶ The American Washing Machine Manufacturers' Association announced that factory shipments of household washers for ten months of 1935 totaled 1,241,000 against 1,097,000 in ten months of 1934. ¶ In Gilbertville, Mass. musicians blew bugles at street corners, assembled the town's population to hear good news. The George H. Gilbert Manufacturing Co. (worsted...
...confused with Allied Chemical, E. I. du Pont de Nemours, or any other corporation with a general line of chemical products. The company specializes in two major products -acetylene and oxygen. A combination of acetylene and oxygen, ignited, burns at a temperature of 6,400° F.-the hottest flame that man has yet produced. The oxygen-acetylene flame, directed with an oxyacetylene torch, melts practically every kind of metal almost instantaneously. It has two kinds of uses: cutting metal, as in scrapping locomotives, battleships; welding metal, in which the oxyacetylene flame fuses the parts to be joined together...

...disappeared in the darkness like a comet with a trail of brilliant flame from the engine exhaust," said Pilot C. J. Melrose to a group of worried Singapore airport officials one night last week. Just in after a bad battle with a monsoon over the Bay of Bengal between Allahabad and Singapore, Pilot Melrose in his slow plane had seen the sleek Lockheed-Altair Ladv Southern Cross of Air Commodore Sir Charles Edward Kingsford-Smith rocket past at 200 m.p.h., only 200 ft. above the waves. At that rate he should have reached Singapore long before Pilot Melrose. But when...
...from Cheyenne at night in a gentle snowfall, it droned away with four aboard. Chief Test Pilot M. T. Arnold was on duty; three other United employes went along for a "pleasure ride." Twenty-five minutes later witnesses heard the motor falter overhead, saw a great fountain of flame in the darkness as the monoplane lunged into a knoll. By the time they reached the wreckage, little was left but a smoldering pile of twisted metal and four bodies burned almost beyond identification...
