Most mothers overflow with pride when their infant sons begin to toddle across the room from chair to chair at the tender age of ten months. Last week in Chicago, little Harmon Loeb, aged five weeks, walked unaided across a room. Dr. Carl Loeb sees in his son's feat no miracle, says.: "We bathe Harmon every day for ten or fifteen minutes in ultraviolet rays [which] help the blood absorb the calcium in food, thereby building bone. The baby is given a series of exercises three times a day designed to strengthen the muscles . . . sleeps on a bread...
...inventive energy exerted during the War, and its later overflow into commercial and popular radio when peace came, are well known. It was not, however, until 1924, that we fully appreciated the superiority of short waves over long ones for daylight work. It is with short waves that all my present experiments are concerned; with short waves that I have supplied the British Postoffice with its Canadian 'beam' service and propose linking the entire Empire. Here still, not to divagate upon my work in wireless telephony, my multiple message inventions, my experiments with music and many another related...
...miniature chapel of Union Theological Seminary, long famed training school for divines,* was most reverently crowded. Upstairs, in a room on the second floor, was an overflow of people, radio-attentive.

The exodus from Tigertown is expected to become general by afternoon, and long before game time Cambridge is preparing for an overflow of Orange and Black supporters. Although the attitude prevalent in the Harvard camp is far from that of overconfidence. Harvard men are quite ready to back, their team this year and Princeton bets are finding ready takers. So far the odds on all sides rule even
...minor disturbance in the central crater, indistinguishable by day from below, a cause of no alarm to the government volcano laboratory. Few days pass without some sign of life from Vesuvius, usually a thin column of smoke. Small upheavals of rock and lava do not overflow outside the old crater, which was formed by the last eruption of violence, in 1906. History knows of but two truly cataclysmic eruptions of Vesuvius-in 79 A. D. (reported by Historian Pliny); in 1631, when 18,000 lost their lives and ash fell in Constantinople (about 700 miles away). In Bering...
