...figure in Chicago's news. Once she had Fan & Bubble Dancer Sally Rand arrested when her bubble burst. During the Hauptmann trial she circularized a long fantasy to prove the alien carpenter innocent. Recently Mrs. Spencer split with her doctor-husband and he went to live with their older daughter, Mrs. Mary Belle Wright, 19. Last week, shy little Dr. Spencer died, and his wife again made news. Marching to her daughter's home, she demanded the dead man's clothes. When she refused to leave they took her off to jail. When...
...something happened. To this day Grant believes that Diaz was a good president for Mexico, whose excesses, such as shooting arrested men without trial, were necessary to suppress lawlessness. A "renegade labor-union cast-off" tried to organize the miners, but older workmen, working with Grant's friend, the chief of police, soon ran him off. Why, then, did so many of the miners join Pancho Villa? Why did a fault-finding stockholder in the U.

Sokol Congresses, scheduled every six years, are much older than the modern Olympic Games and, like the ancient Olympics, their background is strongly national. The Czechoslovak Sokol, oldest national gymnastic organization in the world, was founded in 1862 by Philosopher Author Dr. Miroslav Tyrs and Dr. Jindrich Fügner. The name Sokol, meaning falcon, was adopted because it is the traditional name...
This story is likely to be told whenever U. S. physicists and astronomers get together socially or professionally, but only to very young scientists because all the older ones know it. Today, prankish Dr. Wood is a hale old man with a fine pink skin and clear blue eyes, who scorns an overcoat on the coldest days and goes about like a college boy, with garterless socks drooping over his shoes. He is full of years and honors, and more cognizant of the latter than of the former. But he was 70 last May, and Johns Hopkins requires retirement...
