...easy argument to win. In She, for example, the dying physicist, who is as essential to this school of film as the corpse to a murder mystery, announces a hypothesis that life may be indefinitely prolonged in a human being by broiling him over a phenomenally hot flame. With this point firmly in mind, the scientist's nephew Leo Vincey (Randolph Scott) and his associate (Nigel Bruce) begin paddling off to the Siberian wilds where a family legend indicates that an ancestor named John Vincey encountered such a flame 500 years before.

Many a Wartime flyer lost his life because incendiary bullets set his gasoline tank afire. Many a peacetime flyer perishes in a crash from which he would have emerged with nothing but bruises had not his fuel burst into flame. A new fuel designed to stop such tragedies was demonstrated this week at New York University's Daniel Guggenheim School of Aeronautics by its inventor, a towering, beefy, Prussian-born chemist named Adolph Prussin.

He was greeted with wild cheers. One passer-by refused to take his hat off. That started a fist fight. Nationalists in the crowd suddenly began to shout: "Put Weygand in Power! Weygand for France!" His admirers nearly tore for the clothes off the little soldier, forced police to hustle him to safety. It was a small...
