...enumerate positive results, . . . the entire [Austrian] fiscal policy is again based on solid foundations; the League's loan to Austria is considered everywhere as one of the safest investments in Europe, especially because it is covered in pledged revenues and securities more than four times its value...
Despatches from Holland related that a Professor Keesom had solidified that rare and undemonstrative gas, helium, by a process not too costly or laborious to be adopted industrially. By some ingenious discovery he had readily reduced the gas temperature to very nearly absolute zero. The significance: solid helium, crystalline and transparent in glass tubes, would transport far more handily than the gaseous form. Helium gas is so tenuous that it would take comparatively few tubes of the solid to fill a dirigible...
...world's richest silver mines, in Mexico. Workings begun centuries ago by the Toltecs still produce voluminously. At Guanajuato, 12 hours from Mexico City, Dr. Foshag will visit the huge Veta Madre (Mother Vein) where the work shaft is 1,700 ft. deep and 30 in diameter through solid rock.

His mark of .385 has not been maintained through examinations. He got two solid bingles in three trips to the plate and his average so profited that he now leads a long series of games since he has figured only in seven games this year, but it is nevertheless the highest on the Crimson roster. Burns, ousted from the lead by the prowess of Chase, is further entrenched with a rise of twelve...
