...popularity. Last week after long dickering another air season was fairly well lined up. Again Radio, which has made strange bedfellows before, had brought about marvelous combinations of performers and products. Prize combination for this season is a famed oldtime children's laxative, brown and syrupy, and the foremost U. S. violinist, artistic to his fingertips. The violinist is Albert Spalding, the laxative Fletcher's Castoria. These two got together because two years ago Castoria's producers came to the conclusion that its decreasing sales could not be blamed entirely on the modern spinach-way of feeding...
...Errett Lobban Cord, the young man who is out to become his country's foremost transport tycoon by air, land and sea, last week added one more set-up to his system. Smith Engineering Co. of Cleveland was bought up by Cord Corp. which thereby acquired rights to manufacture Smith controllable pitch propellers. In airplanes, variable pitch propellers are like gear shifts in automobiles, allow engines to run at efficient speed under different load conditions...
...Foremost among the TIME actors are William Adams who speaks as two Presidents. Roosevelt and von Hindenburg, Jack Smart who speaks as Huey Long; Ted de Corsia who does Mussolini and Herbert Hoover.

Out here in the provinces, we thought this quite a TIME-worthy event, and our citizen committee which arranged the conference under the auspices of the city government was disappointed not to make the grade. CLAYTON GRANDY...
Working with "coincidence counters" last year, the University of Padova's Professor Bruno Rossi, foremost of Italy's cosmic ray researchers, thought he had snared in his apparatus the trace of a radiation that came neither from outer space nor from earth's radioactive substances. It seemed to Professor Rossi that in darting through sheets of metal the primary cosmic rays gave birth to a secondary radiation of electric particles. Two other physicists got on the scent, found that the secondary particles were generated in the form of showers-like spray from the splash of passing cosmic...
