The Society's historians, led by Dr. Charles Albert Browne of the U. S. Bureau of Chemistry & Soils, had agreed that chemical industry in the New World got its start in 1635. This meeting, therefore, was to be a 300th anniversary jubilee. Current researches would be reported as always-for example, a symposium on brewing methods and a conducted tour of Jacob Ruppert's brewery...

This would increase drowsiness and assist in going to sleep in the noisy and vibrating berth, but would...
Beneath Manhattan's East River, Diver John Forward was groping over the hulk of the S. S. Lexington which sank last January (TIME, Jan. 14) when a human hand languidly slapped him across the face of his helmet. It was the hand of a man whose feet had been caught under a packing case.
