...Majesty well knows that King Carol knows that she helped to procure his exile, siding against him and with "her Disraeli" the late, great Prime Minister of Rumania Ion Bratianu (TIME, Jan. 18, 1926, et seg.). Naturally in Bucharest last week Ion's brother Vintila voted against proclamation of Carol as King (see above), but paradoxically Ion's son George Bratianu sided with Carol. After the vote George sought to call on his uncle Vintila who shouted wrathfully: "I am disgusted to see the son of Ion Bratianu acting as an errand boy for Carol. Get out of my house...
...unnecessarily brutal way they had handled a previous demonstration in City Hall Park (TIME, March 10) the 400 patrolmen on riot duty in Union Square were models of decorum during the first two hours of last week's monster demonstration. Conspicuous in the crowd was William Zebu-Ion Foster, No. i Communist in the U. S., and his chief aides-burly, white-haired Editor Robert Minor of the Daily Worker; dour-faced Israel Amter, local Communist organizer. Equally conspicuous was dapper Grover Aloysius Whalen, New York Police Commissioner, and his gold-laced bodyguard, Chief Inspector John O'Brien...
...Zodiacal light. Last week before the annual meeting of the American Physical Society at Columbia University Dr. Edward Olson Hulburt of the Naval Research Laboratory at Washington, gave the latest, refined theory of these phenomena. The round earth lies, in Dr. Hulburt's theory, within an egg-shaped ion cloud of its own making. This cloud is the out-spraying of the earth's spherical atmosphere which hugs the earth like a skin about 100 miles thick. Neutral atoms and molecules at the outer rim of the atmosphere dart further away from the earth into space. Sunlight ionizes...
...light did not exert pressure this ion and electron cloud would be spherical in form. But because light does press, sunlight forces the cloud into its egglike shape. The butt side is towards the sun. It is in that direction 30,000 miles thick and appears as the Zodiacal light. From the opposite side of the earth where the cloud's resistance to sunlight pressure is less it is squeezed a million miles or more from earth into a thin taper. That is where the Gegenschein glows. Through that taper the earth's atmosphere very, very slowly escapes...
...went to get a drink. His six-year-old son, a neat child, found the dirty scraps of paper littering the table. He swept them together, clutched them up, pushed them into the fireplace. The flames spouted and little black cinders of money blew up the chimney throat. When Ion Gerghuta came back and saw what his son had done he killed him, swiftly. In another room Ion's wife was bathing her year-old baby. She heard her son scream and ran to him. When she returned, the baby had drowned in its bath water. Ion Gerghuta's wife...
