...coffee, the P. I. D., operating with 10,000 men set out from San Antonio in three columns to bivouac grounds 150 miles farther North. Two successive night marches, made in complete darkness except for the lights of cars leading columns, enabled it to catch the slow-moving Red army at Mineral Wells. P. I. D. roundly defeated it in a sham engagement of which one result was the capture of real horses and mules for which P. I. D. had no earthly use. Next day, its task accomplished, the "streamlined division" turned back to San Antonio. Texas traffic laws...
Fast moving electrons make an impression on a photographic plate as X-rays do, but Davisson's electrons were too slow to obtain such a picture. So he "felt" the pattern of his reflected beam by moving an electron collector around in the recoil region. Connected to an ammeter, the collector translated the strength of the electron beam at a number of points into measured electric current. The pattern having been thus patiently and ingeniously mapped out, it was seen to consist of true diffraction rings. Concluded the researchers: "Our experiments establish the wave nature of moving electrons with...
...things from. And most of it could be handled a dollar a ton cheaper than by using the next nearest port, established and powerful San Francisco. Though Stockton's tonnage increased each year they had scarcely passed the half million mark by 1935, and business was slow. Somewhat responsible were the railroads which by their delay in rate adjustment, encouraged the Central Valley's shippers to continue shipping produce destined for boats on down to San Francisco instead of to the nearer port of Stockton. But the big factor is that water-borne traffic follows a comparatively crude...
Behind them are the halfbacks. If these play a skillful driving offense, odds will swing early to the Crimson. Bernie Jacobson, on the right, turned in one of the season's outstanding performances at Princeton, bull rushing Bob Scott in the center, and slow George Phillips, soccer man's soccer player hold the key to the success of the Crimson goal scoring dive this afternoon...
...September, Edward B. Smith & Co. and other investment houses underwrote an issue of 442,443 shares of Pure Oil Co. 5% preferred stock convertible into Pure Oil common at $22.22 per share. But the coincidence of the market smash with the slow period of gestation which the Securities & Exchange Commission requires before permitting new stock issues threw the conversion plan askew. When the offering was finally made, Pure Oil common had fallen to $17 per share. As a result stockholders who had first rights to the stock took only 8,040 shares. The underwriters then took over the balance, impounded...
