Despatches speculating on whether President Hoover (a onetime Democrat) was "trying to enter the League by the back door" were slapped under front page headlines three columns wide. Despatches datelined Tokyo, Nanking, Shanghai and Mukden were boiled down to second-page squibs.

That section contains light rays and heat rays, and the intermediate infra-red rays which are neither light nor heat, yet are of the nature of both. Scientists are gradually learning how to put the infra-red rays to work. Doctors use them to create artificial fevers. Practical physicists used them otherwise last week...
