...snowball should refuse to melt in Hell, King Carol of Rumania would be no more surprised than he was last week by the results of Rumania's elections.

If a Premier can then poll 20% more on his own popularity...
...which small samples of metallic alloys are heated by the impact of electrons at high velocity. This electron bombardment furnace is capable of heating several grams of metal to a temperature of 3000 degrees Centigrade, and its limiting high temperature is set by the lack of suitable high melting crucibles to contain the sample under study rather than by any inherent limitation in the apparatus itself. This furnace makes possible the experimental investigation of many alloys which were formerly very difficult to melt under the controlled conditions necessary for scientific research...
...Americans" by Elin L. Anderson, 286 pages, six illustrations, $3.00. Has the great American melting pot ceased to melt? Are the social chasms of race prejudice widening with great rapidity?

...peculiar to all things Russian-rotten leather or duck," she found them more attractive than they were painted. Spanish bullfights (where she admired the bulls more than the matadors) were much more interesting than European picture galleries. A Rubens subject was "nauseating because she looked as if she would melt into thick fat if she were squeezed." Another painter gave his girls eyes "like rotting goose-berries." French women were "very fidgety" but she took careful notes on what they could teach Japanese women about coquetry. From Italy she carried away an impression of Fascism "as disagreeable as bones that...
