...either a husband or a wife on the payroll. Under it 1,835 employes have been dismissed, 80% of them wives. Loud have been the chants of opposition to this law by enraged feminists and persons who declared it put a penalty on marriage, obliged enamoured Government employes to live...
...some 200,000 Croats in the U. S., about 50,000 live near Pittsburgh. No (luckier than any of these laboring people, until last spring, were the 400 families in the parish of St. Nicholas Roman Catholic Church in Millvale, a poor little town on the north bank of the Allegheny just above Pittsburgh's mills.

...Streltsov had built chambers in which he tested the ability of various animals to live at low pressures, translatable into equivalent heights above sea level. Best performers were guinea pigs and turtles, which got along at the equivalent of 13,000 metres (about 43,000 ft.). Dogs and cats could not hang on long above 12,000 metres, carrier pigeons collapsed at 7,000. Newborn rats and mice, however, which were given no chance to get used to air of normal pressure, survived amazingly in air of .002 of sea level pressure, which corresponds to an altitude of 30 miles...

The Barr-Hutchins liberal arts ideal Educator Hutchins described before sailing for a European vacation last week: "St. John's is an excellent place to try out the idea of educating people to live instead of to earn a living. There will be emphasis on the classics - not on the languages, but on great books. We want to get away from present liberal arts courses, which are dreary because they are just a mass of history and social science and badly taught language and literature...
