...sounded easy until students tried it, found themselves sitting idle for hours before hacking away at practice sheets. When designs came easily in paper, they began working in wood and stone, did creditable sculpture, designed "machines" of fantastic shape but of no practical use, studied patterns of light and motion in classes in photography. Creating new forms was easiest for young high-school graduates, hardest for students with art school training. With no grades given at the New Bauhaus, Moholy-Nagy last week expressed himself as highly satisfied, dropped only...

...walls of most of the throat, of the windpipe and its branches (bronchi and bronchioles) are covered with fine, threadlike filaments called cilia, which continually move, waving their tips with an upward motion. When bismuth powders or pulverized lead glass were blown deep into the lungs of anesthetized cats, Dr. Barclay and his associates found that the dust in dry form remained in the windpipe and its branches, never penetrating into the little sacs (alveoli) which absorb oxygen from the air and eliminate carbon dioxide from the blood. They could see by X-ray the foreign particles moving from...
