Joseph E. Upson, Geology 1 section man, has returned to Colorado for the second year to map the San Juan district and investigation geologic structures of that area. Likewise in Colorado this summer is L. L. Ray, a graduate student who is working at the Lindonmeyer site. Another graduate student, W. T. Pecora, is working in the Bearpaw Mountains of Montana...
...Journals of medicine as well as standard surgical texts specifically advise against such application of greasy materials to second or third degree burns, even in dire emergency. Aside from some easing of the pain, the only effect this treatment could have would be harmful. Physicians know that a burned area is not greatly different from any other wound, and as such, is very easily infected by impromptu therapy from sympathetic onlookers...

The fact developed quickly that the States were unable to give the requisite relief. The problem had become national in area and dimensions. ...

Even without Commander Woodrooffe, the review that took place earlier that day was a naval occasion no Briton should forget. Between Portsmouth on the Hampshire shore and the green Isle of Wight lie the most famed yachting waters in the world. Here in a carefully marked out area of 24 sq. mi. were assembled 277 ships ranging from the world's greatest warship, the 42,000-ton battle cruiser Hood, to a proud delegation of British herring trawlers. Wardroom statisticians quickly figured that the 143 British warships in line alone displaced 670,000 tons, cost British taxpayers...
...planes have been removed, the wing has increased from one-third of total drag to about half. To reduce this the NACA experimented with the friction set up by rivets and lapped plates on the wing surface. A modern plane weighing 20,000 Ib. and having a wing area of 1,000 sq. ft. was found to require 182 less horsepower to reach 225 m.p.h. if its wings were smoothly polished than if it had normal overlapping plates and brazier rivets with a head-diameter of 3/12...
