...limit, plans to start work on the Lion and the Temeraire early in 1939. Both will be "about 40,000 tons" and will mount an undisclosed number of 16-inch guns. These are in addition to five 35,000 tonners already on British ways which will match the heavier Japanese battleships in speed...
...opened last week in the brick-&-cement International Amphitheatre at Chicago's Union Stock Yards, Farmer Pierce was again on hand. Watching his best beef cattle collect only three prizes (a 4th, a 5th, a 13th), he mused sadly that Advance had won in "an easy walkaway" against heavier, higher, bigger and older animals.

Drs. Jabez Curry Street and Edward Carl Stevenson of Harvard also vouched for the existence of this queer entity. At first there seemed to be no place for it in the physical scheme. Then it was recalled that the Japanese physicist, Yukawa, had postulated the existence of just such...
...YORK--Welterweight champion Henry Armstrong blasted his way to greater fistic glory tonight by successfully defending his title against a much heavier challenger, Ceforino Garcia, Philippine boxer, in a fifteen-round fight at Madisou Square Garden...
