...week, her synagog was quietly consecrated by Very Rev. Joseph Herman Hertz, Chief Rabbi of the United Hebrew Congregations of the British Empire. Bearded Rabbi Hertz gazed appreciatively at the handsome seagoing synagog, complete with Shulcran (reading desk). Holy Ark containing the Torah (scroll of Hebrew law) and everlasting lamp. Then he made a little speech pointing out that this was the first time a synagog had ever been included in the original plans of a ship. France's Normandie recently added a synagog seating 48 to take care of Jewish travelers on that line...
This car, which Dr. Bridges calls "Lightning Bug," looks something like the Dymaxion designed by Architect Richard Buckminster Fuller (TIME, June 12, 1933), but is smaller and squattier.

After performing sensationally in four pre-season exhibition games, Di Maggio hurt his ankle. When the ankle healed, he developed a sun-lamp burn. In New York last week, unaware of what the Yankee Stadium looked like inside, fragile Di Maggio, a toothy Italian whose remarks to the Press suggested that his ability, however great, was amply balanced by his self-assurance, spent his days reading how his teammates had contrived to lose three out of their first five games...
Because on some 6,000,000 of the nation's 6,800,000 farms farmers still read their mail-order catalogs by lamp light, still run their radios, if any, on batteries, still pump their water by hand or gasoline engine, President Roosevelt last May used his emergency powers and some of his relief billions to set up a Rural Electrification Administration. Its job was to provide farmers with electric lights, electric refrigerators, electric pumps, electric feed grinders. Early this year Nebraska's Senator Norris, No. 1 Congressional lover of electricity, sponsored a bill to lend...
