...name of his horse, pays his money to a clerk, receives in exchange a ticket recording the transaction which he can cash after the race if his horse wins.

...combating and prevention of disease." Proud he is that his lenses have led to three major biological advances of 1932. Boasted he last week: "We built for Professor Edmund Newton Harvey of Princeton a centrifugal microscope which allows living cells to be studied while whirling at the ratio of 10,000 revolutions a minute.

Dr. Ralph Walter Graystone Wyckoff of the Rockefeller Institute used invisible ultraviolet light to photograph the growth of living cells under the microscope...

S. and Britain would like to extend this ratio to all classes of naval weapons, thus keeping Japan permanently inferior. Last week Admiral Nagano flatly refused to talk ratios, invited U. S. and British citizens to ponder the type of naval weapon Japan wants all Great Powers to scrap. Obviously if aircraft carriers, long-range submarines and large-surface ships of maximum cruising...
