...pillow ten kinds of sleeping potions. Because of his insomnia he likes to nap during the day, and has frequently been caught snoozing through Diet speeches. He has the Japanese delicacy, raw fish, dipped in boiling water before he will eat it; and he sterilizes apples with a spray of alcohol.

By pairing up Waterlulu Eleanor Holm with handsome Swimmer Buster Crabbe, instead of Aqua-caveman Johnny Weissmuller, Rose added oomph to their big aquatic waltz. The water scenes gain from the use of fountains and a "curtain" of shimmering spray...
...experiment, several metallurgical manufacturers have devised a way to cast high-grade metal rods continuously-that is, in an endless strip, as newsprint is made. Molten metal is fed from a reservoir to a water-cooled tube. As the metal flows down and out of the tube, a water spray cools it so that it can be continuously withdrawn as a solid rod. The Industrial Bulletin of Arthur D. Little Inc. (Boston consultants) states that continuously cast rods are free of air cavities, highly uniform in strength...
...This spray is said to burn more smoothly and cheaply than a carburetor mixture, to make possible the use of less volatile gasolines, to prevent icing under any conditions. One of the first German planes shot down last fall in Scotland was found to have a fuel-injection device. In the U. S., Continental Motors Corp. now equips 75-h.p. engines for light planes with the first commercial U. S. fuel-injection system. Army & Navy technologists are experimenting with...
Because of interference from the sun's own magnetic field, sunspots spray out their particle beams unevenly. The earth may therefore suffer severely from relatively small sunspots if it happens to be in a dense region of the particle beam. Moreover, as the spot cycle wanes, the spots tend to crowd around the sun's equator, and Dr. Harlan True Stetson, Massachusetts Institute of Technology's authority on "cosmic-terrestrial relations," believes that equatorial spots get a truer bead on earth than others. Finally, the earth last week had barely passed the spring equinox, at which time...
