...Langmuir's investigation along this line led him to utilize hydrogen for welding metals together. When hydrogen is squirted through a tungsten arc light, hydrogen molecules explode into hydrogen atoms. The hot stream of atomic hydrogen can weld pieces of steel together and simultaneously drive away the oxygen and nitrogen which weaken ordinary steel welds...
Still another way of comforting a cancer victim was suggested early this year by the late Dr. Willy Meyer of Manhattan. He applied deep X-rays to the cancer, gave the patient dilute hydrochloric acid to offset any acidosis, and made him breathe a mixture of carbon dioxide and oxygen. Dr. Carl William Hoefflich of Houston, president of the Associated Anesthetists of the U. S. and Canada, tried the Meyer treatment on his mother, 82. Reported he last week: "The growth has greatly decreased in size and the pain is gone. In fact, my mother has been doing much...
...that day before his record would be official. Present plane altitude record of 43,166 ft. was set by Lieut. Apollo Soucek, U. S. N. in 1930. Wearing electrically-heated goggles. gloves, shoes and clothing. Pilot Unwins encountered a temperature of 68° below zero. He was equipped with oxygen breathing apparatus. At the top of his climb the gasoline ran out. Pilot Unwins volplaned safely to a ploughed field...

...Motors' Charles Franklin Kettering and L. W. Shutts had great fun constructing a model of what Professor Donald Hatch Andrews (Johns Hopkins chemist,G.M. consultant) told them a molecule of water must look like. They took two steel balls of equal weight to represent hydrogen atoms. For the oxygen atom they took a third steel ball weighing 16 times as much as each ''hydrogen atom." They also built spiral springs whose tension in relation to the weight of the three balls resembled the electrical forces which hold a molecule of water together. They joined the "hydrogen" balls...
