...survey of the grounds. Under the direction of Assistant Professor of Chemistry George B. Kistiakowsky, these men, veiled in secrecy and unwilling to divulge their plans, have completed a complicated mass of apparatus, that it is hoped will measure in a more direct and accurate manner the amount of heat evolved in a chemical change, and expect to be several years in perfecting the apparatus. The Rockefeller Institute has put up an unknown amount of money to build the apparatus and to use it for research...
There is no definite date when the work will be completed, but it will probably take several years. Now that the apparatus is finished, observations will be made on the burning of organic compounds and calculating the amount of heat absorbed when they burn. All this calculation and measurement will be done directly and not in the old roundabout and inaccurate methods. Professor Kistiakowsky hopes that the accuracy will be ten times better than any other ever attained. If it proves to be so he expects the use of his apparatus will be the greatest value in many fields...
...summer work was pushed to remove all the mortur from between the bricks with air drills and then to replace defective material with a substance of an improved type. The new material is believed to be a mortar mixed with paraffin which is placed in the cracks and then heat applied by coal burners in an effort to melt the wax which, they hope, will then spread around the bricks and form a protective film against the driving of the rains...

...afford new ones. The wife tired from a trying day with the youngsters. I tell her to sit down and rest and I'll get supper. Decide on eggs scrambled with chipped beef and chopped celery. Light the oil stove and put double boiler on to heat. Twenty minutes to six already. Our time is two hours behind Eastern Standard. Eggs mixed, celery chopped, beef shredded, ready for cooking. Light oil lamp, set table, put on bread, preserves, butter, milk, catsup, sugar and cream. Put two tablespoons coffee (think that's right) in drip...
