Sirs: As you have probably read, a constitutional amendment has been proposed to keep preachers from holding office in Texas. There is probably the greatest wave of resentment against the preachers ever known in the Bible Belt as Mencken calls it. Woman suffrage has been a contributor to this wave of resentment. Many preachers have been accused of going behind a man and influencing his wife to vote contrary to her husband's wishes. A few more elections like the last one and the church will almost cease to function in the South...
...newsgathering organization with correspondents in all chief U. S. cities to collect and write news items suitable for radio broadcasting, with a nationwide clientele of radio stations (one in each city and two or more in the larger centres), with 20 wavelengths in the short-wave spectrum for its own use, with a network of teletypewriter lines so that its stories would be automatically transmitted ready for use in broadcasting rooms, and with an arrangement for selling radio broadcasting for the stations on a 15 per cent commission-such was the organization visualized last week when a National Radio Press...
Other men discovered that things were not as they seem. They are made up of particles; particles of molecules; molecules of atoms; atoms of electrical protons and electrons; protons and electrons of world waves which happen to meet, get tangled up, unkink and go undulating on again. Ernest Rutherford (1871-? ) in 1911 proved the electron theory. Arthur Stariley Eddington (1882 -?) is a fine fiddler with the wave theory. Arthur Holly Compton (1892 -? ) is another...
...moves; all changes. There are no straight lines. Everything curves. The world has an end but no boundary. It is like an orange with the rind pared down to nothing and the pips taken out. Within and around that imaginary sphere which remains of the orange, intangible forces wave in every direction. Some waves bump and dampen each other's motion until they have no movement left. But their energy is not lost. It goes into other waves which may bump and merge and thereby strengthen each other. Electrons and protons form and attract each other. They create atoms...
...goals in an overtime period spelled defeat last night for the Harvard hockey team when a hitherto un-hailed Boston Athletic Association sextet swept to a 6 to 4 victory in the Boston Arena. Lawless and Hardy rode on the crest of the wave that Channing Hilliard, brilliant B. A. A. wingman, set into motion when he made two unassisted goals in as many minutes early in the third period. The startling upset of the Crimson puckmen was wholly unexpected because of the comparatively easy 5 to 1 victory they achieved in a contest on January...
