...taking advantage of the differences between voltage phases, performs this trial & error in a few minutes instead of hours or days. Designed by Engineer Harry C. Hart and others of the Moore School of Electrical Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania, it is a complex but small and neat layout of generators with movable stators, potentiometers, gears, cams, rectifiers, amplifiers, etc. Reduced to simplest terms, a series of potentiometers (low-resistance voltmeters) is set to correspond to the coefficients of the equations to be solved. A second series is geared together in the ratio of squares, cubes and higher powers...
...members of the Oxford Group of Dr. Frank Nathan Daniel Buchman last summer enlisted God's aid in a journalistic venture. In their "quiet times" every morning they took pencil & paper, jotted down what they believed to be divine instructions on problems of makeup, caption-writing and layout for a one-shot picture magazine to be called Rising Tide. The result was published in an. edition of 300,000 copies in England last month. On U. S. newsstands this week is the U. S. Rising Tide (10?), similarly God-guided.

...Rochas now has a pretty blue-and-white salon at 12 Avenue Matignon where he does a thriving business, sketching his designs himself and personally directing fitters as they drape dresses on live models.

Inside is a big desk...
Compared to the conditions under which many school and college boys play, Soldiers' Field offers a paradise for football enthusiasts. In addition to the physical layout, the Freshmen who signed up will find in the weeks to come that a thoroughly competent coaching staff has been provided to guide them in their labors. And one other thing will be found, too, which cannot be got at any odd institution that calls itself a college just because it has a coach and a cheer and a grandstand. That is that at Harvard the game is designed for the enjoyment...
...lexicon of permissible slang Mrs. Post, who was once heard to describe a table layout as "lousy," adds such expressions as "O.K.." "swell," "divine," "and how!" "so what?" "you betcha." But she never hears "colyum," "ottawobile," "eggsit," "tomayto," "cult-your" (which she pronounces "cultcha")* in good society. Her pet hate: pretentious circumlocutions such as "permit me to assist you" instead of "let me help...
