...three major U. S. broadcasting systems and several short-wave stations broadcast speeches to the four quarters of the earth. High point of the Congress came when Earl Baldwin (whom Dr. Butler in the excitement introduced as "Earl of Bewdsley") rose to speak. He began calmly...
...mean short wavers were busily peddling air time to advertisers who wanted to cry their wares abroad. No station yet has a sponsor, probably because distance broadcasting has not yet had an opportunity to prove its commercial soundness. It merely meant that the X, for experimental, in short-wave call letters was becoming a thing of the past as fast as FCC got around to approving new call letters. By last week FCC had got around to approving 13 new names, still had one, Columbia's W2XE, to go. Most venerable of the call letters already changed were those...
...Anatomist Edward Allen Edwards of Harvard and Physicist Seibert Quimby Duntley of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, these theories were only skin-deep. Instead of the naked eye they used a spectrophotometer, a photoelectric device which analyzes skin color by measuring its capacity to reflect light at each separate wave length of the spectrum. Painstakingly they analyzed the entire skin surface of three white men, three white women, a Japanese, a Hindu, a Negro and a mulatto. Last week in one of the most thorough analyses of skin color ever published, Drs. Edwards and Duntley announced: 1) two pigments hitherto unknown...
...Tasmania last week with 225 rubber balloons, large tanks of hydrogen and a short-wave radio receiving set sailed hoary-headed Robert Andrews Millikan, pious physicist of the California Institute of Technology. With him went two brilliant young colleagues: Physicists Henry Victor Neher and William Hayward Pickering. For 18 years Dr. Millikan has carted his balloons through the snowy ranges of the Andes and Rockies, has plunged his flat, metal electroscopes 280 feet into snow-fed California lakes, to measure minute amounts of electricity which may penetrate their surfaces. Purpose of his travels: to learn something about the mysterious cosmic...
...gives neutrals a choice between stimulation and stagnation. They can sit at home and count their losses while trade stagnates and costs of living mount. Or they can ride the crest of an economic wave, feeding and arming belligerents-making a gift offering of their wealth as a subsidy to war. They also suffer who do not fight...
