...Cryolite was used only in making caustic soda, sodium bicarbonate and alum. But "Salt" presently learned that it formed an excellent flux for manufacturing opaque glass and for coating enamelware, tile and porcelain. Best of all it turned out to be a valuable ingredient for aluminum. Rocketing aluminum sales and war scares lately have boomed the cryolite trade. '"Salt" maintains its monopoly with ease since the mines discovered by the Eskimos at Ivigtut, Greenland, remain the only ones in the world. Because the mining season is necessarily short, "Salt" usually gets but two shipments annually on little Scandinavian freighters...
...attendant upon new facts and divergent points of view; all these are obvious benefits. But more important still is the feeling which conferees must have had that no theory offered by professors, no method advocated by intrenched groups was infallible. All must have seen that a tremendous state of flux surrounded the problems. With this comes the realization that the solution or solutions lies open to all. In a round table each student feels an equality with professors and guests, perhaps illusory, but nonetheless stimulating for it instantly removes the problems from academic shoulders.

...appearance of this Nova, according to Campbell, has made available much more date, both visually and spectrosopically, than any previous appearance of a Nova. This may lead to an explanation of what takes place in the interior of a star. Most stars are not in such a state of flux, and conceal their interiors with clouds of luminous gases, but Nova Herculis represents a remarkable example of stellar activity...
