...King's exuberance was soon damped on his return to Bucharest. Rumania's Fascist Iron Guard made it abundantly clear that they disapproved of his hobnobbing with President Benes whom they consider far too sympathetic toward Russia for their peace of mind. In a bold manifesto, the Iron Guard declared they "will not hesitate to shoot Carol down rather than fight for Bolshevism...
Michigan. Fossil seaweeds have been found as old as 1,200,000,000 years. In a quarry between the north and south iron veins of the Menominee Range, a dynamite blast exposed Proterozoic seaweed which Oscar Halvorsen Reinholt, geologist and mining engineer, pronounced 1,500,000,000 years old. "The upper Michigan peninsula," said he, "now takes precedence over the section near Saratoga Springs, N. Y., as the oldest region in which life forms are known to have existed." Harvard's Peabody Museum eagerly sent for samples...
...achievements. As "Nails" Duquesne, a rough female diamond who thinks that a man with two wives is committing bigotry, Ethel Merman lifts a brazen voice, rolls a comic eye.

Iron Works she will be built there instead of at Herreshoff's Bristol, R. I., yard, birthplace of all defenders since...
...friend Engineer Eiffel - already planning the tallest tower the world had ever seen - who solved the problem by designing a skeleton for Liberty in the form of a central steel mast round which are wrapped two spiral staircases, braced like a camera by a quadruped of four iron pylons. On this framework the whole weight of the statue hangs. Not bronze is Liberty's skin but hand-hammered sheets of pure copper about the thickness of a silver dollar. Each sheet is anchored to an iron strap, tied with iron girders to the central skeleton (see cut). Even...
