...civilian centres would never be bombed by their planes. Nonetheless, Salamanca was surrounded by the very latest German anti-aircraft batteries. Last week in Salamanca a frightened shouting mob poured into that refugio as 20 big Leftist bombers circled overhead sending 1,000-lb. bombs whistling down on the yellow stone University City...
...chain stores all over the U. S. placards such as this appeared last week. Bean promotion appeared in newspaper advertisements, in radio blurbs, on roadside handbills. Some 200,000 well-drilled chain-store workers urged even illiterate housewives to buy jumbos, red kidneys, yellow eyes, chile or limas. This high pressure was no stunt. It was the latest application of a new economic device notably successful in its 15 previous tests. Its enthusiasts describe it as some-thing to put AAA to shame, for it works on the positive principle of reducing surpluses-not by reducing production but by increasing...
...Schokels, Flutes, and for faults- Hard Aufzug, Bad Nasal Tour, Ugly Interjection-he awarded points, to the best between 60 and 80 out of a possible 100.

Modern breeders lef young birds learn by listening to older champions. Some trainers have tried phonograph records, but not successfully. The birds learn...
...miles in diameter, could contain a million bodies the size of the earth. Yet the sun, though of higher than average luminosity, is rather on the small side as stars go, being officially classed as a "yellow dwarf." For a really big star astronomers look to Antares, a red supergiant 400,000,000 miles in diameter. All stars are globes of hot gas. Antares is relatively cool, its gaseous density very low. Thirty-seven thousand cubic feet of its star-stuff, if concentrated and brought to earth, would weigh only one pound. Yet up to last week it held rank...
