...kitchen stove, learned the particular symptoms of fever by baking healthy human beings at a temperature of 106° F. She used one of the big radiothermic ovens which General Electric's Dr. Willis Rodney Whitney designed and loaned to a few U. S. hospitals for the heat treatment of syphilis and gonorrhea (TIME, April 22, et ante). For proof that her test subjects develop pure fevers and nothing else, Dr. Fishberg usually heats them until fever blisters form on their lips. As demonstration of how to offset the specific effects of fever in sick patients, Dr. Fishberg brings...
...impoverished constituents to weaving rugs. Few years after the War she grew interested in the plight of France's tapestry weavers. Flourishing when kings and noblemen wanted something ornamental to keep out the draughts which seeped through castle walls, their craft was dying in an age of steam heat and small apartments. What tapestry weaving needed, decided Mme Cuttoli, was a stiff shot in the arm of modern design as conceived by France's greatest living painters...
...York Athletic Club's Peter Fick equaled one of the most formidable records in the sport by winning a preliminary heat of the 100-yd. dash in Johnny Weissmuller's record time-51 sec.

Above the flood line, the William Penn and Pittsburgher Hotels were jammed. Guests ate by candlelight, toiled up stairs and found their rooms by flashlight, washed and shaved with bottled spring water. At the dry Nixon Theatre, Alfred Lunt...
Thus the body of science is like a pyramid. The broad base rests on sense impressions. As one proceeds farther & farther from sense impressions, fewer & fewer systems are necessary to explain Nature, since each system explains more. Thus mechanics and heat are merged when heat is revealed as molecular motion. But this is far from the pyramid's base; a hand dipped in hot water feels heat, not motion. The apex of the pyramid, not yet reached, would be a single system containing the terms necessary to describe all phenomena...
