...sign which labels it Hemenway Gym. It has a crow's nest on top, and it, too, is yet unfinished by man's hand in the interior.

...century scientists have been polarizing light with small natural crystals. Lately a synthetic polarizing material called Polaroid has been developed which can be fabricated into large sheets. In American Optical Co.'s gadget, light from an illuminated test chart first passes through a disk of Polaroid. The person being tested looks through a pair of polarizing lenses, one vertical, one horizontal.
