...every student, graduate, and friend of the University who sincerely believes that Fritz Dauer, Max Schneider, and Kurt Carl Otto Peters sacrificed their lives for what to them was a worthy cause, and that their service to the fatherland was as noble as Harvard's other heroes, was to their countries, then let them each contribute towards a memorial tablet to be place din our Germanic Museum. Surely this idea cannot be rejected as "Inconsistent," "unpatriotic", or "a breach of faith." The Germanic Museum was built largely by gifts from friends of the pre-War Germany, was presented with many...

...American Airways and to Condor Lines (subsidiary of Germany's Lufthansa; headed by able Fritz Hammer) the possible failure of Aeropostale meant more than just the removal of their most powerful competitor. It also raised the question: Who would acquire Aeropostale's highly developed airways in South America? Aeropostale had spent most of its subsidy on airports (34) and airways (5,800 mi.) from Natal (Brazil) south to Gallegos, and across the Andes from Buenos Aires to Santiago, and from Buenos Aires to Asuncion. Also it operates an interior service in Venezuela. Unlike its competitors, Aeropostale flew by night...

...mouse. Among the haggard caverns of the moon the backer of the party goes crazy and has to be shot. The professor discovers gold and is lost in a crevasse. The lovers stay behind to die on the wastes where nothing has ever died or been born before.

Good scenes: the pock-marked moon-face swimming up, nearer and nearer out of space; the point 220,000 mi. from the earth where the gravity of earth...

...looked at the stars, measured the amount of spectral shift in starlight (the Doppler effect). They found most starlight shifted towards the red end of the spectrum, interpreted it to mean movement away from the earth (TIME, Oct. 6), concluded that material bodies were spreading, expanding universal boundaries. Dr. Fritz Zwicky of California Institute of Technology and Dr. P. ten Brieggencate, Dutch astronomer, however, have suggested that some of the red shift is caused not by real movement but by gravitational pulls exerted on light by the stars and nebulae it passes. Other scientists suggest the red shift...

...competition of a sort in the older, equally unchaste Jim Jam Jems. When, in 1928, Jim Jam Jems' Editor Sam Clark attacked him in his magazine, Captain Billy bought him out. There after came Modern Mechanics and Inventions (later sued by Popular Mechanics on its title, and by Fritz von Opel, the German rocketeer, for an article concerning him) ; Startling Detective Adventures (sued by a North Dakota sheriff for an article which he claimed he did not write), Hollywood and two months ago, Mystic Magazine, an idea conceived in Paris by Mrs. Fawcett. Mystic Magazine capitalizes the current faddish...
