...morning the West Paks hoisted black flags over their houses, in mourning, and staged an impassioned mass meeting. From the meeting they surged toward the Bengali labor barracks, armed with rifles and revolvers. The Bengalis took up swords, pickaxes and knives. All morning both sides sweated in the humid heat and butchered. One band of West Paks selected a block of Bengali quarters, set it afire, then systematically shot down the Bengalis as they fled...
...veteran drill sergeant of a foreman who has Vanderbilt's and Winfrey's mandate to buy whatever he needs to keep the race horses fit and happy. Stall 6 is the royal suite. The Dancer, afflicted with the typical thin skin of the grey, suffers from the heat and can't stand flies, so there are fans to keep the air moving through the stall and an automatic fly-spraying system for the entire barn...
...almost everything but change the baby with the flick of a switch. So predicted General Electric's Vice President W. V. O'Brien last week. Electronic devices will thaw frozen foods, cook them in a matter of minutes or seconds; electric incinerators will burn up the waste. Heat pumps (for both heating and cooling homes) will mushroom from the few thousand now in use to 500,000. There will be television screens that hang like pictures on the wall, connected to the set only by a thin wire...
...Wulsin describes experiments, some of them for the Army, on how clothes hamper the body in keeping itself cool. They act as insulators, checking heat loss by radiation. More important, they create near the skin a layer of hot, moisture-saturated air. Sweat cannot evaporate until it has soaked through the clothing, and then its cooling effect is largely wasted. Dr. Wulsin ridicules the idea that Europeans in tropical climates should wear helmets and heavy clothing to keep from being felled by the tropical sun. The less clothing they wear, he says, the better off they...
Navy promptly made it No. 25 in a trial heat, setting a course record of 6:00.5, then went right on after No. 26 in the final, meeting the cream of the twelve competing colleges (Penn. Cornell, Yale, Harvard and Wisconsin). After the starter's cry of "Ready all . . . row!", Navy's lanky (6 ft. 2 in., 178 Ibs.) Stroke Oar Ed Stevens quickly brought his crew up to the standard 40-strokes-a-minute racing start. Stroke Stevens, who likes to have the opposition trailing him so that he can keep an eye on them, held...
