...receives meagre memorial. The journalistic Paul de Kruif has rescued many of these names from oblivion in his "Microbe Hunters" and later his "Hunger Fighter", published in 1928. Dr. Harvey W. Wiley has told his own story, and has presented a picture, human and authoritative, which ranges from the log cabins of pioneer Indiana, to Harvard College in the seventies, German student life under the old regime, and the White House from the time of Harrison to Taft...
...similar action against his opponent. When a committee who heard the evidence recommended his disbarment to the Supreme Court, Mr. Joseph announced himself as a candidate for Governor, made a stormy campaign on the very issue before the court. He made much of his birth in a California log cabin, flayed the 10? fare charged on Portland trolleys, demanded public ownership of public utilities.

Up the clean wood deck, between the broad yellow guide lines, darted the first of the Lexington's little broad-winged, single-seated biplane fighters, light blue below, yellow on top, with thunder-bolting eagles on its sides. Away it shot over the concave precipice...
...visitors saw latest developments in the committee's research facilities: ¶ A motion picture camera designed to photograph all the dials on an airplane instrument board during a test flight, permitting later study far more detailed than a testpilot's pencilled log could afford. ¶ A "recording multiple manometer'' which registers the varying pressures upon 120 distinct portions of the wings during all maneuvers...
