...basement of the new laboratory, will be rooms for high-pressure experimentation, for x-ray apparatus, and for research in high frequency and vacuum tubes. Beneath this will be a sub-basement where there will be a special x-ray work-room sheathed in lead to prevent the filteration of the rays into photographic appliances or other aparatus that they would harmfully affect. The basment is to be equipped with double walls which will prevent outside disturbances from affecting the extremely delicate measurements essential to research. Rooms will be sound proof and of constant temperature. A huge, 100,000 volt...
This idea seems more and more like the sort of thing everybody's been thinking about for a long time. It's been mulling about in the sub-conscious desires of the campus and if it has anywhere come to light, it has only been a kind of wish fancy.

The trouble with this program is that wealth is created only by productivity and productivity in Britain has been for some time distinctly sub-normal...
...accelerating the motion of protons until they race along at 37,000 mi. per sec. has been successfully tested, explained Dr. Ernest Orlando Lawrence, physicist at the University of California. The new method does not involve the difficult high voltages which have been thought necessary in producing high speed sub-atomic projectiles. Protons (hydrogen atoms stripped of their electrons) are sent back and forth between two semicircular hollow plates by means of alternating currents of 10,000 volts and a magnetic field. As they continue in a spiral motion they gather speed, finally shoot out the end of the tube...
...play under present consideration is a delightful English comedy. It consists of that more mature humor of contrasting characters, not caricatures. There is a certain mellowness and sub stance in Mr. Drinkwater's handling, and of course, the sureness of an accomplished dramatist. And there is no heap of froth to hide any inadequacies of plot. The usual "Says who-whozzat" business usually associated with comedy is fortunately omitted. The situation is presented and the comedy is a matter of the effect upon the different characters, always true to their type; ever so slightly satirical but always good natured...
