...X-ray revealed a fracture in Jimmy Christman's left tibia. He lay abed in a plaster cast, reading the life of Napoleon Bonaparte.* His classmates were safeguarded against Teacher Hickman by her removal...
Bombardment. Professor William D. Harkins of Chicago reported negative results from efforts to duplicate experiments by which Professor Miethe of Berlin and Professor Nagoaka of Tokyo have claimed they obtained gold from mercury. Mercury was bombarded with streams of electrons from an X-ray tube at 140,000 volts, but not so much as one part of gold in a hundred billion of mercury was afterwards detected. Nitrogen bombarded with helium atoms going 12,000 miles an hour was built up into fluorine atoms, which then disintegrated into atoms of hydrogen and oxygen...
...field of technical research interesting experiments have been tarried on with the x-ray under the direction of Mr. Alan Burrougas, Curator of Paintings of the Minneapolis institute of Arts, with a grant from the Milton Fund for Research. To quote from Mr. Burroughs' report to the Director, these experiments show that the x-ray has developed into a valuable addition to the expert's equipment for judging the antiqritv or genuineness of paintings more than 100 years old, or for estimating in some cases the evidence of authorship on more tangible grounds than style and feeling. This development involves...
...experimenting with the X-ray row and hope to reach definite conclusions this summer. If we are successful a sure way of detecting forgeries in the old and supposedly valuable pictures. This will eliminate the current doubt and expense, which is so deleterious to collectors and experts today.

...theorized, would slow up or stop the ova production of a patient and at the same time permit the continued creation of the sex hormones, stimulate the women. In the U. S. Dr. Harry Benjamin cautiously put this theory to practice. He uses a stimulation dose of X-ray one-seventh to one-tenth as strong as needed to produce erythema (redness). His conservative decision was that moderate, carefully regulated exposures of the ovarian sites to the X-rays induced good body and mental tone and vigor...
