...spending made the budget "staggering." If he had chosen to view the Government's finances as tycoons viewed their companies' finances in 1929-even as President Hoover did, and he himself last summer-he might have composed the same facts into a far milder picture.

To each mother Il Duce gave a fat money prize, though three were women of wealth. They had already received the Government's regular bonus of 500 lire for every child born after the seventh...
Star Wind. Dr. Otto Struve, director of Yerkes Observatory, told of discerning by spectroscopic observation what seemed to be furious hurricanes in the atmosphere of some stars. On one hitherto inconspicuous star the wind seemed to be blowing at the rate of 144,000 m.p.h. Dr. Struve added that, despite the surface turbulence visible in hydrogen photographs, the sun's atmosphere is practically windless...
