...King of Italy and a group of Fascist physicists, one of Professor Fermi's admiring colleagues reported that, after wiping away a flood of electrons, he had smashed a batch of neutrons upon a piece of uranium which weighed 92 atomic units. For 13½ min., while it sputtered electrons, the uranium weighed 93 units. According to the Mendeleyeff Table it had no scientific business weighing more than uranium. During that period, reasoned Professor Fermi, the substance must have been not uranium, but hypothetical Element...
Airline distance, from Camden, N. J. to Middletown, Del. is 54 mi. Frank Hawks in his Northrop Gamma could fly this distance in 15 min. Roscoe Turner in his Wedell-Williams could fly it in less.

Lindbergh in the new Northrop Gamma transport mail plane which TWA's Vice President Jack Frye piloted from coast to coast three weeks ago in 11 hr., 31 min. (227 m.p.h.). Also to Langley Field went some 200 other leaders of U. S. aviation, including Orville Wright, for the ninth annual aircraft engineering research conference of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics. Run off with precise showmanship by affable, grey-haired Dr. Joseph Sweetman Ames, committee chairman and president of Johns Hopkins University, the conference developed from...
