...seventh green of the breezy morning round, Helen Hicks missed a two-foot putt that would have made her one up. It looked serious at the time but seven holes farther on Helen Hicks might well have forgotten it because she was four up and it looked as though Virginia Van Wie's game had cracked completely. By lunch time, she had cause to brood about that putt again;.her opponent had cut her lead to two, with a fine four at the 16th and a good putt for another at the 18th. In the afternoon, with the wind...
...greatest difficulty had an Ethiopian flag (green, yellow, red) been dug up to deck the Mayflower Hotel, the Ethiopian national anthem orchestrated for the reception by the Army band at the Union Station. The bowlegged little Prince with curly whiskers first called at the White House wearing a two-foot shako of lion's mane. A large crowd awaiting General Italo Balbo cheered him by mistake.

The Macneil fog-eye, like the Macneil thermoelectric sextant perfected last year (TIME, July 25), functions according to Commander Macneil's thesis that every object not at Absolute Zero (-459.4° F.) radiates heat-like infra-red rays.

A compact amplifier which Physicist Edward Elway Free built for Commander Macneil, builds...

Tabor acquired a better mine from a swindler who, thinking his land worthless, had sprinkled silver on top of it without bothering to look beneath the surface. Equipped with fabulous wealth, Tabor gave Denver a munificent opera house with his name engraved on a two-foot block of silver. He got himself elected lieutenant governor, divorced his wife, Augusta...
...golf only two years, never before in a national championship. It looked easy. Playing along quietly, Enid Wilson was two up at the turn. By the 13th hole, however, Miss Glutting's splendid iron shots had put her one up. At the 14th she holed a chip shot for a half. And at the 18th came a curious thing. Miss Wilson, still one down, had an easy chip & putt to even the match, carry her young opponent to a nerve-wracking extra hole. Enid Wilson boggled the chip, missed the putt, conceded her opponent a two-foot sidehill putt...
