...continued to get slapped. Last week, with 215 U. S. painters competing, two Chicagoans won the largest mural commission yet awarded by the Treasury Department's Section of Fine Arts: $29,000 for frescoes to decorate the new St. Louis post office. The winners: small, dark, intense Edward Millman and small, dark, less intense Mitchell Siporin, longtime friends, who last collaborated on murals for the Decatur, Ill. post office...
Critics paid especial attention to Todros Geller's swart, black-hooded Spanish Woman, to Macena Barton's solid black-browed Rosana in Purple, to E. Millman's Resting-two vagrants in a -phouse, one sitting on a barrel, the other lolling on a green mattress. Visitors stopped in swarms before L. J.

But rarely are astronomers able to photograph the hot spots and analyze the spectra. Last week Harvard's Dr. Peter Mackenzie Millman proudly reported that he had spectral pictures of nine meteors. Six, possibly seven were mostly stone. All contained some iron (heated to vapors of between 2,600° and 4,600° F.). One or more contained calcium, manganese, aluminum, chromium. Three containing magnesium burned greenishly...
