...found a clue to cleaner air. With a wire, a couple of aluminum plates and a burning oily rag, he rigged his first crude electrostatic dirt trap. The modern unit is as simple in principle: air entering it travels over fine tungsten wires carrying 12,000 volts which impart a positive charge to passing particles of dust. Then parallel steel plates charged with negative electricity snatch and hold the electrified particles, removing from them 95% of the airborne dirt...
...erect at his side, Franklin Roosevelt solemnly read a message to the nation: "God the father of all living watches over these hallowed graves and blesses the souls of those who rest here.

And just to make sure that "Harvard Blues" has a congenial mate, the reverse, one of those riff...
...electricity will be crammed into the first seven weeks to permit an immediate start on radio in the eighth week. The instructors have not yet decided where the course will be at midyears, but they intend to fill all medical school and general requirements by June and still impart to their 250 charges a theoretical knowledge equal to that of the average amateur operator...
