...halide like fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine, only heavier, he used seawater, fluorite and other halogen compounds. He burned each of them and sent their complex light through a polariscope and then through a magnetic field. A magnet twists polarized light to a calculable extent. The fineness of this magneto-optic rotation is such that it can detect one part of a substance in 100 billion parts. The greatest amount of eka-iodine Dr. Allison could find in any of his substances was one part in one billion. Eka-iodine is the rarest, most fugitive thing on earth...
...Moscow is on "iron rations" of food, clothing, shoes; but in remote, unheard-of-cities, in "strategic centres of production" such as Azbest, Magneto-gorsk and Dnieprostroy (see map), the diarist found abundant food, clothing and shoes for the new pampered aristocracy of toil...
...Nettleton. 20, of Toledo, Ohio, was hopelessly in the "soup." Floundering at 10,000 ft. in rain, fog and snow he "couldn't see ten feet ahead"; but he knew he was near the Cuyamaca Mts.

Patent litigation over the name continued for many years, was decided in favor of the U. S. company a year ago (TIME, July i, 1929). But Robert Bosch prepared to appeal for the right to use his own name and last winter...
Last week a far more effective truce between Robert Bosch A. G. and American Bosch was contemplated. American Bosch plans to issue more stock, acquire the U. S. Robert Bosch, become United American Bosch Corp. Significant is the omission of the word "magneto," since the Bosch activities are constantly widening. Instead of competition, complete harmony will reign over the relationship between Robert Bosch A. G. and United American Bosch, each acting as a sales outlet for the other, each cooperating 'in research. What thinks Germanophobe Garvan, who stoutly protested the formation of American I. G. Chemical Corp. (TIME...
