High Speed Protons. An apparatus for accelerating the motion of protons until they race along at 37,000 mi. per sec. has been successfully tested, explained Dr. Ernest Orlando Lawrence, physicist at the University of California. The new method does not involve the difficult high voltages which have been thought necessary in producing high speed sub-atomic projectiles. Protons (hydrogen atoms stripped of their electrons) are sent back and forth between two semicircular hollow plates by means of alternating currents of 10,000 volts and a magnetic field. As they continue in a spiral motion they gather speed, finally shoot...
...likewise read the American Mercury article by Oland D. Russell, whom Carl E. Milliken, secretary of the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America, quotes as saying: ''Missionaries and movies are two of the most considerable American exports to Japan but . . . the Hollywood product has more to do with the decline of harakiri there . . ." (TIME, Letters...
...States is no place for you! You never had any real justification to be here anyhow. . . . You were created by unjustified fears and uncertainties. . . . The leaders of business enterprise are exercising every resource of ingenuity and hard work to eliminate waste and inefficiency. That the forces thus set into motion are now turning toward a new and prosperous era is indicated by a study of past business cycles. Miserable creatures, I consign you to a watery grave. Your doom is sealed...
...State Hospital, near Plattsburg, N. Y. where he had been for 27 years. In 1891 Perry, a trainman of the New York Central, longed for luxurious living. One night he sawed his way into his train's money car, overpowered the guard, and while the train was still in motion crawled back out through the hole with enough loot for six riotous months in the West. A year later, broke and back for more, he clung by a rope-ladder to the same train as it sped through the night towards Utica. This time he smashed a window, shot...
...White Hell of Pitz Palu" to be shown at the University Theatre next week is one of that very small and select group of motion pictures in which all of the elements of film making are carried to their highest refinement. The photography of the Alpine winter is in itself so striking that it could assure the success of the picture. At times it is impossible to conceive of where the camera could have been. But there is no one individual feature that can be singled out as better than any other. The daring flying of Germany's greatest...
