Recent and as yet unpublished studies of a star cloud in Aquila show that practically all the stars are of the same type as the sun--a very unusual circumstance, since Milky Way stars elsewhere have mainly been of the hotter classes. It is unknown whether this anomalous result, which involves tens of thousands of stars, means that we have here a star cloud of dwarfs like the sun, or if it means that we are dealing with a peculiar assemblage of yellowish giant stars at a special stage in the evolution of a stellar system...
...workout, various backfields were sent into action while the coaches attempted to get a more definite line on the prospective Harvard ball carriers. The first quartet to take the field was composed of Charles Devens, T. W. Gilligan, and Harper, with Wood as signal-caller. Mason, Mays, and hotter respectively were then sent in as substitutes for the first of these three. Two more combinations, on which most of the other candidates working out under backfield Coach Casey played, were also sent into action, but so bewildering was the series of substitutions that no definite information could be gleaned...
...only now being put to industrial use. Konel Metal. News of a new and valuable alloy was despatched to the Congress by Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Co. Erwin Foster Lowry, 38, Michigan-born Ohio State graduate, had compounded nickel, cobalt and ferrotitanium. Result was a metal which grew stronger the hotter it was heated. Other metals become weaker with heat. Mr. Lowry's alloy has a tensile strength of 60,000 lbs. per sq. in. at 600° C. (1112° F.). At the same temperature chrome nickel steel's tensile strength...
...below. One day last week a tropical sun blazed through the auditorium's huge uncurtained windows upon some 800 cheering, jostling, excited men and women. The weather made these Virginians uncomfortably hot. Thoughts of Alfred Emanuel Smith and John Jacob Raskob as leaders of the Democratic party made them hotter...
...acquitted itself creditably, having handled 403 chances in the field with only 22 errors for an average of .945. Prior is again in the fore with a mark of .989, but his task of covering the initial sack is admittedly easier than that of his mates around the hotter sections of the diamond. McGrath at short has fielded for .920 while F. E. Nugent '29 as second has also kept above the .900 mark...
