Scientists Harvey & Loomis watched cells whirl, saw the tiny granules moving through the protoplasm, oil globules going in one direction, yolk granules in another. From the rate of movement they began to calculate the viscosity (gumminess) of the protoplasm. When oil and yolk are separated they exert a pull upon the cell which divides it in two parts. By watching the course of that process the experimenters were able to estimate the tension on the surface of the cell which holds it together. That tension, they found, is at least 100 times smaller than had been supposed. Preliminary results...
Before the 1930 elections, and up to three or four months ago, most regular Republicans in Congress loudly decried increased taxation, predicted a quick return to better times, publicly put their faith in Secretary Mellon and large borrowings to pull the Treasury through. Today these same Senators and Congressmen were concurring in the immediate necessity for tax-upping.

...Harvard territory and once the CRIMSON was thrown for a loss and a safety, making the score at the half 6 to 2. From then on the game was characterized by short losses by both teams. At one point Clark, Dartmouth leader, was in a clear field ready to pull down a forward, but the passer was hurried and the ball went wide and was knocked down. The game ended with the ball in the CRIMSON's possession on its own two-yard line...
