...eight feet wide, located in the new College Bakery in the basement of Eliot House, bake all the bread, pies, and pastry that the College dining halls use each day. Besides the evens, which are run by a battery of gas heaters to insure cleanliness and perfect regulation of heat, the most modern machinery has been installed, including a machine that thoroughly gifts the flour, weighs it, separates it into the correct portions, and mixes it with the regulated amount of water and yeast. The dough is then run on to a moulding machine, which, by a system of swiftly...

Harshly condemned for "inhuman working conditions" and referred to as "a $700.- 000,000 outrage" was Six Companies, Inc., builder of the Hoover Dam where twelve workers collapsed and died in the Nevada heat last summer (TIME, Aug. 24).

Scientists are gradually learning how to put the infra-red rays to work. Doctors use them to create artificial fevers. Practical physicists used them otherwise last week...

Derived from a briefly exhibited drama called Heat Wave, the picture shows its hero bearing the white man's burden with superfluous fortitude and increasing its weight by disguising his nobility with sophomoric sarcasm. Touted as a ladies' man because he once acted as co-respondent in divorce proceedings, he is pestered by the habitues of an insular country...
