After showing off so graciously in front of the hundreds of admirers who met him at the station, Seabiscuit, taken to his stable, relapsed like any normal five-year-old, made an ugly face (see cut, p. 24) when his groom started to give him his bath...
...lesson in the laws of genetics has been provided in recent months by M. Etienne Letard of the National Veterinary School at Alfort, France. M. Letard has bred a race of hairless cats. One or two hairless kittens appear from time to time in the litters of two perfectly normal Siamese parents...
According to a report which reached the U. S. last week, M. Letard has mated each of the parents to other cats but from such unions has never obtained a naked kitten. A naked kitten, after growing up and being mated to a normal cat, has uniformly normal litters. But when two of the hairless cats were mated to each other, they had an entirely hairless litter. The hairlessness was thus seen to be a recessive Mendelian character. By mating one hairless animal with another, Dr. Letard has obtained a true-breeding strain. Up to last week no buyers...
...test pilot is to put new airplanes through stunts and strains they may never have to perform or withstand in normal use. This testing sometimes involves diving a ship at such terrific speed that leveling off causes it to break apart in midair. The pilot is then expected to bail out with his recorded observations. If a test pilot ends his career alive, he is considered lucky. Test Pilot'?, flying shots are among the best ever staged by cinema.

Gloomed he: "The physical volume of industrial production appears to have dropped to more than 40% below the computed normal level in March. . . . There has been only one year in all our history when production averaged more than 40% below normal and that was 1932, at the bottom of the depression. It now seems probable that 1938 will be the most severe depression year in our history except...
