...takes the part of Ko-Ko, the Lord High Executioner who finds himself in danger of having to execute himself. Yum-Yum, one of his wards, is Hizi Koyke. Her suitor, the Mikado's wandering minstrel son, is played by Roy Cropper, a young man with a pleasingly liquid tenor...
...temperature which Professor Giauque was trying for was Absolute Zero or 459.4° below zero Fahrenheit. Investigators had almost reached that point before by compressing helium gas and drawing off the heat of compression. This procedure brought them to - 451.84° F. when the helium gas turned liquid, to -457.6° F. when liquid helium turned solid. By compression and rapid cooling evaporation Professor William Hendrik Keesom of the University of Leyden last year reduced solid helium to -458.142° F. That seemed the ultimate, for Absolute Zero is theoretically unattainable...
...strike at cold. Professor Giauque used gadolinium sulfate octahydrate, a colorless crystal substance derived from a rare earth metal. This he cooled to about -306.4° F., when he began wrenching the molecules with a huge magnet which University of California owns. Liquid helium absorbed and withdrew the magnetically generated heat. At -459.1° Professor Giauque was stopped, regretting that he could not stride the stupendously difficult little step of .3° which would carry him to Absolute Zero where substances should retain no more heat, where molecular activity should completely cease. where all things should be coldly inert...
...most places the bank holiday is long since past. Not so the insurance half-holiday. The whole investment policy of life insurance companies has been aimed to have liquid each year the average amount of money needed to pay maturing policies and the normal run of loans and surrenders. What to do when the run of loans and surrenders soared above normal? Last week the insurance commissioners of 31 states who ordinarily meet twice a year assembled in emergency conference at Chicago. One thing was apparent to them all: they must take uniform action, as the bankers of neighboring states...
Housed temporarily in the old First National, National Bank of Detroit was brand-new, 100% liquid, the first bank launched under President Roosevelt's emergency banking measures. Toward its founding the biggest home-town industry, General Motors Corp.. had put up $12,500,000 and the U. S. Government through the R. F. C. had bought $12,500,000 of preferred stock. Its first statement showed: Federal Reserve stock, $675,000; Cash, $24,325,000; Deposits...
