...National Guard, which has headquarters at Oklahoma City, maintains units in Oklahoma, Arizona, Colorado and New Mexico. In August 1924, the division, at the suggestion of the Arizona department, adopted as its insignia an old Navajo Indian emblem, a swastika.* In August 1924, Adolf Hitler was in Cell No. 7, Landsberg Fortress, near Munich, serving time for his "beer-hall Putsch," eleven years away from making the swastika the centre of the German national flag...
Using a super-sensitive apparatus containing a C electric battery, a galvanometer, and a photoelectric cell he was able to record the amount of deflection in the current caused by the comb, which was separated from his instrument by 20 ft. of open...
Observations with high-speed camera and photoelectric cell show that an expert golfer may swing his club head as fast as 125 m.p.h. At such velocities air resistance becomes a considerable factor. At the American Physical Society's convention in Washington last week, Physicist Sylvan Jay Crooker of Purcellville, Va. reported that air resistance may be diminished fifteenfold by scientific streamlining of the club head, the shape (except for the face of the club) conforming to airship hull contours tested in wind tunnels. Declared Dr. Crooker: "Dynamic and ballistic analyses, checked by field tests, prove the low-resistance [streamlined...
This curious order was uttered early one morning last week in the old cell block of Sing Sing prison, whose gates had closed behind Richard Whitney, five-time president of the New York Stock Exchange (TIME, March 21). Starting a five-to-ten year sentence for grand larceny, holding his substantial, six-foot-two figure erect and his chin lifted, Mr. Whitney-Prisoner No. 94,835-displayed such extreme fortitude that it seemed at times like a pose. He was assigned to a tiny, damp, malodorous cell whose only plumbing was a bucket and he asked for no favors...
...Miller tells his patient: "1) Ovulation occurs 14 days before the following menstruation; 2) the egg cell can be fertilized only during the twelve-hour period immediately following its emergence from the [ovary]; 3) the fertilizing ability of the sperm cell in the female genital tract is maintained for not more than 24 to 36 hours." From those biological facts and the woman's record of her longest period Dr. Miller marks a calendar by which she and her husband may guide themselves. As an added precaution he advises continence two days before and two days after ovulation, thus...
