...because she was naïvely virtuous. The wardrobe mistress (Louise Dresser), one of those quaint impoverished baronesses, adopted her, took her to Monte Carlo where the pair lived for a month on the savings of a year. In the garden of the Hotel Eden a rich young man (Charles Ray) makes love to Toni (Corinne Griffith). A marriage is arranged. Enraged by last-minute accusations of gold-digging, Toni tears off her wedding gown, runs through corridors in less & less until finally she encounters the Prime Minister in the least possible. All is explained; she dresses; she marries...

...latest measurements of the cosmic ray (TIME, November 23, 1925) prove it to consist of definite bands of color, like the light from a Cooper-Hewitt mercury arc, but the spectral region in which the bands occur corresponds to frequencies 100,000,000 times greater than those emitted by the Cooper-Hewitt arc. Having measured the ray, Dr. Millikan sat down to figure out its importance. He turned to Einstein's theories. He found, using the Einstein equation (M C 2-E), that the most conspicuous band in the cosmic ray spectrum is probably the same band that would...
...Physicist Millikan directly observed the absorption coefficient of the most conspicuous band in the cosmic ray spectrum. It was within a few per cent .305. Things equal to the same thing being equal to each other, it seems that positive and negative electrons are daily uniting in the heavens to form helium and sending us a free cosmic ray as an announcement...
...both hydrogen and helium. What is more plausible than that the one should be created from the other? On the side of physics, there are no other nuclear changes which could take place, as far as science knows now, that would be powerful enough to produce the cosmic ray discovered by Dr. Millikan. On the side of philosophy, the tearing-down process of radio activity represented by the disintegration of heavy atoms into lighter ones, has been known for 30 years. Why, then, should there not be a building-up process represented by the creation of elements from positive...
