...surprised to learn-and to corroborate in Bartlett -that the National Anthem reads not "in triumph shall wave" but "Oh, long may it wave." He will discover, if he did not know it, that "Spare the rod and spoil the child" is not from the Bible but is a folk improvement on it dating from about A.D. 1,000. He will be glad to see that Editor Mencken enshrines his file-tongued old friend James Huneker ("He died without owing me a cent"); that he respects the gentle excellence of the late Justice Brandeis' dissenting opinions; that...
...that spareth his rod hateth his son; but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes. Modern psychiatrists disagree with Solomon's technique, agree with his principle. One of their greatest problems is the overly protective mother who, in an excess of affection, turns her child into a sissy or a tyrant...
Stick your hand into a powerful electric induction coil. Nothing happens. Then stick a steel rod into it-the metal becomes red hot almost at once. This phenomenon is the basis of the fast-growing industry of induction heating: more induction equipment (using over 175,000,000 watts) was installed in the U.S. last year than in any previous three-year period. And today nearly all of it is used for smithing the weapons of war in arsenals, navy yards, private plants. Induction heating-with welding and substitution of casting for many forging operations-is one of the three...
Commonest form of welding used today is arc welding. An arc welder has for his tool a device that holds a pencil-sized metal rod carrying a heavy (around 200 amps) electric current of low voltage. When he brings the rod close to the metal to be welded, the current leaps across the near-contact, forming a blinding arc whose temperature-some 6,500° F.-melts both the rod and the metal being welded into tiny molten pools which quickly cool into solid metal. Since the welder's rod (called an electrode) melts down like a candle...
...Illinois Wesleyan Uni versity as well as nearby Galesburg and Decatur to help out, the Bloomington Art Association invited top U.S. artists and galleries to send entries. Thirty-one bang-up paintings were submitted by such artists as Peter Hurd, Yasuo Kuniyoshi, Fletcher Martin, John Steuart Curry, Aaron Boh-rod and Doris Lee. Bloomington's jury (headed by Chicago Art Institute Director Daniel Catton Rich) awarded a $100 prize to Raymond Breinin. Russian-born Artist Breinin's prize-winning picture was called The Night, depicted a somber, winged symbolic angel on horse back chasing the setting sun over...
