...delivered stinging attacks against certain aspects of the New Deal, largely through Columnists Raymond Clapper and Westbrook Pegler. Publisher Howard went on record in 1932 as a friend of the New Deal's "principles," chiefly because he believes that they alone are sufficiently resilient to give but not shatter under the pressure of what he sees as a world-wide Leftward swing. Does his present critical attitude indicate that he has fundamentally changed his mind about Roosevelt & Co.? Last week, best answer seemed to be that one of cagey Roy Howard's strongest policies is never...
...miner; that such detonators not only hurl a pellet at 6,000 ft. per sec. (three times the speed of a rifle bullet) but throw hundreds of minute shreds of copper, each able to penetrate nearly a millimetre of brass sheet. Pellets from detonators, directed into jars of water, shatter the jars by the pressure wave in the water. As evidence that modern high explosives are not to be tampered with, Dr. Robert Williams Wood of Johns Hopkins exhibited a lantern slide depicting the impression of an apple leaf driven into solid steel by guncotton, declared the detonation...

...passengers' cabin. Suddenly Anderson saw a great dazzling ball in his path which he afterward said was as "big as a house." Instinctively he whipped his plane into a bank. The passengers snapped awake and the pilot rushed forward in time to see the meteor shatter like a mammoth bomb. Glowing fragments streamed past, plunged earthward. The plane was unharmed. But on the ground a truck driver who saw the meteor telephoned police that a burning airplane was falling. California astronomers thought it likely that the phenomenon was, in reality, miles away from the airliner...
...becomes a propeller as the imp flies the engine down into chassis. It was Mr. Ford's own idea to have the imp sucked out of the automobile body by "No-draft ventilation," to make him throw a nut at a window which does not shatter. With a flourish of trumpets, 4,999 changes into 5,000. As the grimacing imp changes back into an insignia the cinema closes with a happily synchronized major chord...
