...human eye were tuned to longer wave lengths of radiation, it would be able to see radio waves. The ethereal wiggles that gird the globe with speech and music are part of the same electromagnetic spectrum which includes visible light, ultraviolet and infra-red radiation, x-rays, gamma rays from radium. Hence under ideal conditions radio waves travel at the velocity of light - about 186,270 mi. per sec. - and for many a year radiomen assumed that wireless signals always traveled at that pace in their journeys around Earth. Last week Dr. Harlan True Stet son of Harvard informed...

Amarillo is a cow, oil & gas town put on the map by the uncomplimentary comments of Gene Howe, editor of its Globe-News, on Col. Charles A. Lindbergh and Mary Garden. Seven miles away lies a Federal gas processing plant which produces most of the world's helium.

...Tercentenary Celebration, the Yale Race, the Freshman Smoker and the Rotary Traffic Program which is functioning in all its diabolic efficiency in Harvard Square. Such fulsome praise belongs only to an event of the first water; one which will be flashed to the far corners of the globe in precedence to all else of importance happening at Harvard.
