This year's Gridiron Widows party was one of the most intimate shows ever seen at the White House. Not counting a burlesque of burlesque in which a plump newshen did a strip tease, another in red flannel underwear did a fan dance, there was a scene in which one of the characters suggested that the Roosevelts "must like people; they marry so many of them," in which was outlined (but not played) a scene between Mrs. Roosevelt and Queen Mary, discussing their sons' prospective marriages...
...Louis no local woman has been the subject of more newspaper columns or more shocked social chitchat than lively, red-haired Mrs. Nellie Tipton Muench, whose father was a Baptist minister and whose brother is a Judge of Missouri's Supreme Court. Until three years ago few St. Louisans knew much more about Mrs. Muench than that she lived comfortably in fashionable Westminster Place with her respected physician-husband and that she once operated a fashionable midtown dress shop that catered to society trade...
...eleven years, making 49 home runs in 1936, helping win another World Series and being again voted "most valuable player in the American League." Black Man of the Year was Sprinter Jesse Owens. His Olympic record-championships in three individual events, one team event-has been equaled only by red-skinned Jim Thorpe in 1912 and stamps him Sport's Man of the Year...
...Wilson Observatory have come to quite a different conclusion as to the size of the particles in the vast dust cloud of the Orion Nebula. In this case the particles scatter the blue and yellow-green components of the light of stars in the cloud, letting only long infra-red rays filter through. Hence the stars appear much redder than normal. The wave lengths Baade & Minkowski recorded convinced them that the dust grains in the nebula were about .000004 inch in diameter...
...Small particles like dust, fortuitous aggregations of molecules and droplets of water tend to deflect short wave lengths of light which approximately "fit" them, while longer wave lengths curl around these small obstacles. Long infra-red rays go farther through fog than visible light and still longer radio waves can go through buildings. In the visible spectrum, blue light is shorter in wave length than red. In the case of the evening sun, the blue components are scattered in all directions, and this subtraction makes the sun look red. But the blue light is scattered again & again in the atmosphere...
