...investigators from the Business School fstigue laboratory, under the direction of D. B. Dill, assistant professor of Biological Chemistry, spent six weeks last summer in field work at the Hoover Dam in Boulder City, Nevada. The party was interested particularly in the effect on workmen of conditions of intense heat and high humidity...
...through perspiration, and in determining what if any changes in the blood occurred. It was found that in general a large exchange of moisture failed to have any marked effect on the workmen, provided their diet contained sufficient water and a generous amount of salt. Because of less intense heat and more attention to diet, hept prostrations at the dam were considerably reduced this year, but those which occurred were studied carefully by the Harvard experts...
...Kamongo" Mr. Smith takes us on a scientific adventure into the great universe and from there into the world of the unknown. It is semi-fictional in form. Two men on a ship in the sweltering heat of the tropics get into conversation. One is a young scientist returning to Africa to continue his exploration, the other an Anglican missionary going back to his jungle parish. As often happens they talk about their careers; and the scientist, a bit embarrassed at talking so much, tells of his search for Kamongo, the lung fish, who, when the dry season domes along...
...Harmsworth Cup (put up by the late Lord Northcliffe in 1903) has there been such hue & cry as there was last year about Garfield Arthur ("Gar") Wood's "Yankee trick." Wood in his Miss America IX crossed the starting line ahead of the gun for the second heat, thus prompting his rival, Kaye Don, who had won the first heat with Miss England II, to do likewise. Miss America IX and Miss England II were disqualified. A slower boat than either, driven by Gar Wood's brother George, circled the course and won the heat. Kaye...
Favorites in last week's Hambletonian were Mrs. Ralph Keeler's three-year-old filly Marchioness and John L. Dodge's colt Hollyrood Dennis. Will Caton driving Marchioness won the first heat. Hollyrood Dennis won the second. Two out of three heats usually decide the Hambletonian but in the third heat last week Hollyrood Dennis broke (started to gallop) 200 yds. from the wire and interfered with Marchioness, pocketed behind him while Invader, a field horse, won. Marchioness, Hollyrood Dennis and Invader lined up for the fourth heat. After two false starts, they were fairly away. Caton...
