During the past year U. S. students of chemical engineering, anticipating similar problems when they find jobs, worked on this practical practice problem: Select equipment for the recovery of acetone from a mixture of acetone and air by means of an absorption tower, using water as the absorbent. Students were obliged to deduce a plant of the most economical type and to calculate its annual operating cost. They also had to design certain auxiliaries, such as a heat exchanger, a condenser, and a still boiler, and to figure the most economical way of running the whole system...
Priest Coughlin thus pronounced himself a match for not merely one President but ten for he had already let it be known that he would be the sole head & front of the National Union. Last month he promised to "select, not elect" a guiding National Council of Twelve within ten days, to name the Union's Michigan State Committee at the Cleveland rally.

Both courts decided that the code's labor provisions...
Sixteen hundred select U. S. doctors who belong to the American College of Physicians saluted a tidy-minded scholar by giving Professor Leo Loeb of Washington University Medical School (St. Louis) a gold medal during their annual meeting in Philadelphia last week. Small, frail, sombre, he rose from his seat to accept the medal, big as his palm, and in return to tell the College a simple chain of endocrine events which may lead to a simple cure for the ugly form of goitre called Graves's Disease. The thyroid may not be appreciably enlarged in a case...
