...period of sun spot activity, called the Sunspot Maximum, the radio signals reached their weakest point. Likewise, when the spots on the sun were fewest and weakest, the radio reception was best. For the measurement of radio reception we have made use of a superhetrodyne receiver with multiple stage amplification together with a self-recording galvanometer. A local oscillator with controlled output makes possible the exact calibration of the entire receiving circuit prior to each night's observations," Professor Stetson continued...
...Mary the Virgin's, Magdalen, Merton, and the Cathedral are lost in the lower reaches of this fog-bank. The streets are shining with wet; the Old Schools Quadrangle is black and forbidding; the various College and University buildings look like the cubic masses of a modern stage-setting.

The young atomist, accordingly, tells the British Cabinet about...
...comic snitches here and there, Author Wallace's sprig of grue was sufficiently funny, novel and grisly to provoke the intended reactions among Manhattan susceptibles. In it, moreover, Nina Gore, daughter of blind onetime (1907-12) U. S. Senator from Oklahoma Thomas Pryor Gore, made a one-line stage debut; Flora Sheffield exhibited a girlish physique as the heroine and Campbell Gullan, with a tykish burr, played the newspaper sleuth...
