Your suggestion of a clerical visit to the Mayor which changed his mind (making, as it does, a delightful little example of jesuitical method which would honor Eugene Sue) is prefaced by a modest ". . . If reports be true. . ." I offer in exchange on equally good or doubtful authority the report that the Theatre Guild completely rejected this play when the offer came to them, which makes us even in one round of hearsay...
...simple X-ray method for determining the location of the layers of atoms in a crystal of metal has been devised by Alden B. Greninger, a student in the Graduate School of Engineering at Harvard University...
...technique now developed by Mr. Greninger, all problems involving cubic crystals may be solved with only one photograph, which can be taken in two or three hours and interpreted in a few minutes. The new method has its greatest usefulness in the study of materials which are opaque to X-rays, as are most metallic crystals. In most of these crystals the plane surfaces of the atoms lying in regular pattern diffract the X-rays within a relatively thin surface layer of the crystal. The method invented by Mr. Greninger is a variation of the method devised by Max Laue...
There was talk of declaring the oil industry a public utility but, while admitting that the idea had occurred to him, President Roosevelt indicated that he would first try a less earth-shaking method of regulation. Production control by interstate pacts, the industry's own nostrum now being advocated by Oklahoma's Governor Marland, seemed out as far as Washington was concerned. Senator Tom Connally of Texas, who fell over himself last year declining the honor of sponsoring the Administration's oil measure, introduced a joint resolution to provide the Government with a valid basis for reinforcing...
...does work for libraries and scholars all over the world and only charges $25 to copy a book of 200 pages; and if one has a moving picture projector it is possible to buy rolls of film of such books for only $5. The only disadvantage of the second method is that the book must be read from the screen while the former process results in a handy volume of only three times the thickness of the original which is, of course, easily protable. About 14,000 feet of film is used each year in the studio...
