TIME promises, in response to the queries of Reader Combs [TIME, Sept. 5], to keep its weather eye open for an interpretation of the weather in terms of its effect on humans. One very simple step in the direction of such interpretation would be the publication of wet bulb thermometer readings...
Unnoticed amid frenzied Europe, the League Council this week finally agreed to take the first of many technical steps which would be necessary to invoke "Sanctions" against Japan, no longer a League member. The step: inviting Japan to take a seat at the Council table. Geneva experts said that, if Japan sends a refusal, more drastic steps could then be taken, but that if Japan simply never sends a reply, this would create a puzzling situation which the Council would then attempt to solve. Afraid Czechoslovakia would ask the Council to take the first Sanctions step toward Germany this week...
...this queer situation is the Peasant Party, which must step up and vote if the November 6th election is to mean "national unity." Peasant Party henchmen promptly announced that their minimum terms were Government pardon for their leader, famed, rustic Wincenty Witos, who was jailed under the dictatorship of Marshal Pilsudski in 1930, escaped and fled to Czechoslovakia. Warsaw reports failed to reveal whether Marshal Smigly-Rydz is yet ready to have Wincenty Witos pardoned, recalled that Polish reactionaries attempted the assassination of persons who some years ago proposed this pardon...
...last few years, artificial insemination of human beings has become a highly successful science. Most difficult step has been the finding of suitable proxy fathers. Last week Dr. Ivy Albert Pelzman of Georgetown University School of Medicine said that he is starting an agency for proxy fathers in Washington. Blonds, brunets, redheads, Jews, Catholics and Protestants will be on the list, he said, and a prospective mother can have her child influenced in every physical respect except sex. Heredity and background of all candidates are thoroughly investigated. Since the human male attains his highest fertility during his twenties, Dr. Pelzman...
...varying speed at different points in a wind tunnel, to plot these speeds on a graph and reduce complicated wind motions to a series of simple, understandable oscillations. Thus mathematicians hope to predict how the shape of an airplane wing will affect the motion of the wind. Next practical step would be designing of a wing for more speed, safety, lift. Application of the "ergodic" theorem has proved very useful, said Dr. Wiener, rushing into a mass of detail so abstruse that not all his colleagues could understand him. Many unsolved problems on turbulent motion still remain, but Wiener...
