...before a jury gathered to select New York's 15 most beautiful mannequins to model clothes at the World's Fair. When no decision was reached, someone suggested that the mannequins lift their skirts. Someone shouted, "Hike 'em up!"

For that Dr. Millikan won a 1923 Nobel Prize. Last week two other Caltech men-Jesse W.
