Cheyenne in 25 hr. 25 min. hard driving. En route in Omaha, when an interviewer asked Senator O'Mahoney if he were hurrying home to lay the groundwork for the President's visit, Mrs. O'Mahoney answered for her husband: "Perhaps 'allay' is the better word." They arrived a day ahead of the Presidential special. Before the train reached Cheyenne, it stopped long enough for Cheyenne papers to be put aboard.

By cutting whole pages of repetition and development, Conductor Kostelanetz will give casual listeners this week a pretty good idea what Tchaikovsky was driving at in only 285 sec. flat. Likewise the overture to The Barber of Seville will be reduced from 7 min. to 1½ min. and the late George Gershwin's 16-min. American...

Backstroke Champion Adolph Kiefer lowered his own meet record in the 100-meter championship to 1 min...
...distinct as red and green, a neat method was available for tracing the course of hydrogen-bearing compounds in body processes. Scientists in Germany have already found by this means that half the water which they drank stayed in their bodies nine days, although some was excreted in 30 min...
