...wilderness to the southeast lay a huge clod of stone and metal. Exactly where it was, only one person thought he knew. In 1859 Dr. John Evans, a U. S. Government geologist, stumbled on a meteoritic body, almost entirely buried, whose mass he estimated at 22,000 Ib. A 25-gram sample was sent to the Smithsonian Institution in Washington. The meteorite was classified as a pallasite-a mixture of olivine (green magnesium iron silicate) and metallic iron. Unfortunately, before Dr. Evans had precisely charted the meteorite's position, he died...

The first pugilist to hold both the featherweight and the welterweight titles at the same time, ambitious Henry Armstrong last week went back to get Lou Ambers' lightweight (135 Ib.) crown...

...after skim milk, which has a 3% casein content, has soured, the curd (crude casein) is separated from the whey; the curd is then washed, dried and ground into the finished product. Since 1921 U. S. production of casein has risen from 8,000,000 to 40,000,000 Ib. annually. Biggest consumers are paper makers (who use 70% of the yearly output for coating book, magazine and wall paper), paint and glue manufacturers (12% each) and the plastic industry...
...milk they claim they can make a soft, silky grade or a hard, stronger type of yarn. Although Messrs. Gould and Whittier do not know exactly what it will cost to produce synthetic wool commercially, they are certain it can be sold about as cheaply as rayon (50? a Ib.). As soon as the Bureau of Dairy Industry gets its patents, it will probably release them to the general public without restrictions...
