...giant loudspeaker stood on the roof of a hangar at Mineola, L. I., last week, and radio and sound engineers trooped out to have a look, listen to its monstrous bray. Developed in the Bell Telephone Laboratories, the apparatus resembled a big searchlight. When it and 18 others like it are mounted soon atop a 100-ft. tower, their combined blast will be the loudest sound ever produced...
Hypnotist Cannon makes it abundantly clear that there is nothing mysterious or difficult about the technique. All that is necessary is for the subject to relax, drive all thought from his mind, fix his attention on some object (usually a bright light), listen to the operator's soothing suggestions of sleep.

Last week nearly 1,000 years of Europe's art was visible in a day at the Cleveland Museum of Art's 20th Anniversary Exhibition, celebrating the Great Lakes Exposition. Borrowed by suave, dapper, erudite Director William Mathewson Milliken in the astonishingly short time of five months, from U. S. museums and private collectors, from the Louvre in Paris and from half a dozen Italian collectors, Cleveland's paintings...
