Dallas housewives, Shreveport stenographers, Spokane waitresses, Chicago socialites?all fashion-conscious women in the U. S. were the invisible, ultimate spectators of a spectacle last week in Manhattan/s Astor Hotel. Despite the heat, a parade of mannequins marched all evening, dressed and redressed for next autumn. It was a march stolen on Paris. The fall fashion show of the Garment Retailers of America forecast the following features and trends...
There had been sun and heat the first few days in Denver University's High Crescent Stadium which stands nearly a mile above sea level. But on the day of the race a chilly breeze blew down from Pike's Peak. It was evident that Simpson's record would not be equalled or broken...
Favored among U. S. entrants had been Columbia's 150-pounders, winners of a preliminary regatta at Marlow and during the U. S. rowing season losers of only one race. Eliminating the Westminster Bank crew in the first heat, Columbia stroked to a one-length victory in the second over the Kingston Rowing Club boat, coached by R. C. Sheriff, young insurance-broker author of Journey's End, current War play. Columbia was eliminated in a windy third heat by the heavier crew of Trinity College, Cambridge...

Washington's summer heat is notorious, despite the editorial efforts of the Evening Star to find a "refreshing quality" in the atmosphere and to deflect the attention of sweltering readers to the more pitiful conditions at Phoenix, Ariz and Hades...
Steam, or water vapor, operates a piston or turbine by the fall in its temperature. The higher the vapor is heated, the greater the pressure which must be controlled and the work the steam can do. Engineer Emmet sought a material whose vapor could carry great quantities of heat at relatively low pressures. He found mercury the best. It boils at 675° F., instead of at 212° F. for water. At 884° F. pressure is only 70 lbs. on a gauge, at 1,000° F. only 180 lbs. Those pressures are sufficient to run turbines. After...
