...necessary, Spain is not ready or well enough developed economically for pure Communism. We shall nationalize the banks, industries, mines, railroads and other transports, but we need the wealth provided by the small trader." This from Socialist No. 1 might be considered the Government's minimum pro gram, since Socialist No. 2 on one of his brief dashes to Madrid from the front had already declared: "We shall establish the dictatorship of the proletariat...
...City take Publisher Howard at his word. Manhattan publishers are notoriously close-mouthed about the balance sheets of their papers. Best opinion is that all New York newspapers cost way too much to run, none pays a respectable return on the money invested in it. If the World-Tele-gram, on which a $1,350,000 exploitation fund was lavished in its first eight months, has yet had any profits to share with the Brothers Pulitzer, the news has not been made public. Its circulation, never far over 400,000, has lately remained about 100,000 above the arch-conservative...
...watermen had little or nothing to say about the growing practice of sterilizing reservoirs and swimming pools with silver. That ions (atomic fragments) of silver, copper and some other metals in extremely minute traces have a powerful germicidal effect was discovered in 1893. Only a few millionths of a gram per litre of water will kill germs. The silver which dissolves from a plate simply immersed in the water is enough. Thus treated is the water supply of Heidelberg, and there are many other installations in Germany, England, Switzerland. Two years ago the swimming pool of the Congressional Country Club...
...radio-reflecting region of electrified air called the Kennelly-Heaviside Layer; the Mascart Medal, awarded every three years by the Societe Franchise des Electriciens: for contributions to pure science and for services on international commit tees whose efforts culminated last sum mer in the adoption of the centimetre-gram-second system of units by the Inter national Electrotechnical Commission. First U. S. scientist to receive the Mascart Medal, venerable Dr. Kennelly hoped its bestowal would mark a closer liaison be tween U. S. and French scholarship. Frank Walker Caldwell, 46, Hamilton Standard Propeller Co. engineer; the Sylvanus Albert Reed Award...
Heavier than any other element except uranium, protoactinium is radioactive. It is 25% rarer than radium in pitchblende. One ton of that mother ore was reduced to extract a half gram of protoactinium oxide. In a phosgene chlorinating bath this was transposed to a chloride. Using the method evolved by General Electric's famed Irving Langmuir. Dr. von Grosse spread the chloride on a tungsten filament in a vacuum, heated the filament, boiled off the chlorine, obtained his bit of pure protoactinium...
