...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. Waco makes its living from cotton, has a Cotton Palace, an annual Cotton Festival and Baylor University. "Dr. Pepper," the South's famed soft drink, originated in Waco and the late Mary Louise ("Texas") Guinan was born on a nearby potato ranch. San Angelo makes its living from sheep...
...down the Mall on a camel. Funniest sequence: Mrs. Smythe-Smythe is asked to demonstrate her shoot ing prowess at an Oriental party given in her honor; the gun, going off in her shaking hands, shatters a vase, knocks the cap off a musician's head, breaks a globe in the chandelier; a colonel of the Sixth Lancers, full of cocktails, duplicates these feats, shoots down the chandelier to boot. Three Wise Guys (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer) is another one from the private dream world of Damon Runyon. A hard-boiled restatement of the Nativity story, it presents a trio...
...return to the editorial in question, it may be said that, because patients came to him from many quarters of the globe, the question of racial differences was forcefully brought to Dr. Jung's attention. He cannot be blamed if years ago experience led him to the tenable opinion that such differences do exist. And so, now when he speaks of differences between the Germanic and Semitic psychologies he is merely voicing a conclusion which he reached when Hitler was still among the unemployed. It would have been fairer if the CRIMSON had extended the quotation from Jung to include...
...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. This afternoon a stalwart band of Crimson editors sally forth armed with bats, balls, pop bottles and one used catcher's mitt to meet a motley crew collected from the idle gang around the Lampoon Building in the year's most exciting...
