...Bethlehem's Charles Michael Schwab. He opened the proceedings with a magnificent piece of the optimism for which he is famed. Then Mr. Farrell got up and began "...

...Riviera. There, at her daughter Lady Ward's Villa Rosemary, the cold grew worse. Bronchial complications set in; her heart became affected. Dr. Robert Louis Levy, chief of the cardiac department of New York's Presbyterian Medical Center, was summoned by plane from Paris, but oxygen and his skill were no match for pneumonia and an aged heart. When Ambassador Edge, at the personal request of President Hoover, telephoned Cap Ferrat next morning he was told that Mrs. Reid had died quietly ten minutes before. Her body was taken to Paris, to the home of Ogden Mills, which...

There is a height for each aviator above which it is not safe...
...Temperature of the sun (12,000° F. on the surface, perhaps millions within) is so great that it was believed that elements could not exist there in molecules or compounds, only as free atoms. Henry Norris Russell (Princeton) reported spectographic discovery of seven solar compounds of hydrogen, four of oxygen, and three of other elements. Sun compounds are not stable as earth's. On earth an oxygen atom holds two hydrogen atoms and makes a molecule. On the sun the oxygen holds only one hydrogen atom, and they are ever ready to sunder...
Four doctors were in the sick room, including Dr. George David Stewart, in whose name Mr. Baker had created a $1,000,000 surgery endowment at New York University. An oxygen tank was ready but it was never used. Mr. Baker's pneumonia grew worse. At 6 o'clock Dr. Stewart left and gloomily told the Death Watch that Mr. Baker could not last the night. The afternoon newspapermen left. Four reporters were still damning the cold night and the lack of a shelter when Mr. Baker's secretary summoned them into the house and announced that the aged financier...
