...National winners have been outsiders. At Aintree this week the favorites-Miss Dorothy Paget's Golden Miller and Mrs. M. A. Gemmell's Gregalach, the winner at 100-to-1 in 1929-had a better chance than usual. Last week the entries were cut down to 34, smallest field since...
...Japanese mouse is a tiny creature, one of the smallest of mammals. It is usually black-&-white spotted, with eyes that look black in daylight, ruby-colored at night when the fire-red pupils expand. It spends the hours from dusk to midnight dancing, sleeps till dawn.

Protons, heretofore considered the smallest unit of positive electricity, weigh 1,850 times as much as electrons. Cambridge's Paul Adrien Maurice Dirac long ago declared that mathematical necessities require the existence of light-weight protons. Last year Caltech's Carl David Anderson noticed some ion tracks which implied impacts from Theorist Dirac's light protons. Before the Royal Society last fortnight, Dr. P. M. S. Blackett, 35, tall, pale member of Lord Rutherford...
