Iowa made this discovery accidentally. In 1917 a Mrs. Cora Bussey Hillis, whose own children had died and who argued that the State should pay as much attention to the welfare of children as of hogs, got the State Legislature to establish a Child Welfare Research Station at the university...

At the conference last week, conducted by famed Ben D. Wood's Educational Records Bureau and several other groups, Dr. Stoddard reported not only his facts but his conclusions about how intelligence is created...

...Culler's research programs has resulted in a tentative explanation of a bizarre phenomenon known as the "XRay Effect." Several clinicians had noticed that when human heads were exposed to X-rays, a temporary improvement in hearing frequently occurred. Dr. Culler confirmed and explained this phenomenon. Studying X-rayed dogs, he found that the irradiation weakened the pituitary control of the pancreas, which thereupon released more insulin in the blood. The insulin excess lowered the blood's sugar content, which in turn lowered the density and viscosity of the fluids in the hearing mechanism of the inner...
...past four months physicists of the National Bureau of Standards at Washington have been sending clusters of small sounding balloons to great heights in the upper air. Purpose: cosmic ray research. The balloons carry Geiger-Müller cosmic ray counters, barographs, automatic radios which send signals to a ground station every 15 seconds, recording the altitude (in terms of air pressure) and the intensity of the cosmic bombardment. Last week Drs. L. F. Curtiss and A. V. Astin reported that one cluster of six balloons had reached the remarkable height of 23 miles (about 120,000 ft.). This...
