...night last week some 2,000 citizens of Mississippi watched a fire. The fuel for the fire consisted of a pile of logs, several cans of gasoline, and a Negro. Brightly burned the gasoline, with orange flame, black smoke. Soon the Negro's flesh became hot, reached what is technically termed the "point of combustion." Then the Negro also burned. Watching citizens heard groans, screams, pleadings. "Get me done with," cried the flaming Negro, "get me done with quick." The fire was out in 15 minutes...
...necessary explosives for lighting the intellectual fuse in the minds of at least some undergraduates. No young man should go through college unburned. It does not make a great deal of difference what subject infects him first; he should be infected. He may then proceed on his own fuel. Once the taste of blood, always a hunter. Let a man once smack his lips on abnormal psychology and it will lead him to the end of his days on a hunt through all the cultural activities of man to find an answer to his questions. For abnormal psychology, since...
...volume which contains signatures of most of the Popes of Rome. A present hobby is the collection of originals of newspaper cartoons. Mr. Woodin plays little golf; seldom uses his costly yacht.

...Fuel Gas. Learning from visiting Germans that fuel gas made by the Ruhr coke ovens is being pumped to homes 450 mi. away and will eventually be piped all over Germany, their U. S. colleagues at Pittsburgh last week seriously considered doing likewise in the U. S. Making such gas at the coal mines and distributing it by long pipes should be cheaper than shipping coal to homes and factories. Also, the convenience of such gas will enable small communities to have factories, will prevent the present rural drift to cities...
Most memorable, two thousand business and scientific specialists in fuel were filtering into Pittsburgh for the Second International Conference on Bituminous Coal, called there this week by President Thomas S. Baker of Carnegie Institute of Technology. The coal business, particularly the bituminous part, has long had trouble making money. Despite great reserves of mined coal, competition from gas, oil and waterpower have kept prices low. The producers have become aggressively intent on selling coal derivatives-pulverized coal, tar, fuel oil, gasoline, gas, dyes, perfumes, drugs, alcohol, etc., etc. How to get those products, scientists already know much; how to utilize...
