Upminister workmen saw the Sisters du Bois leap from Pilot Kirton's plane. Hands clasped together, they fell 4,000 ft., landed in a cabbage patch. Jane's wristwatch, its crystal unbroken, still ticked near her corpse...
...form or another is almost sure to be the Banking Act of 1935. Most significant banking measure since the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, the bill was so technical that no one except a banking expert could hope to understand it in detail. Nevertheless, its objective was crystal clear-unchallenged Federal control of the nation's currency and credit. It did not establish a central bank such as money-fanatics like Senator Elmer Thomas and Father Coughlin have been yammering for. But if the bill is enacted in anything like its present form, the U. S. banking system will...
...decide to have dinner at the Willard in the crystal room. Here you are really in the halls of history. Gone is the romance and the glory and the prominent personages. You journey through Peacock Alley, pass women from the West who think they are in style; and take a seat in the middle of the Alley. Your interest is aroused by three old codgers (probably ex-Congressmen) talking very loudly--perhaps all are a bit deal--on an adjacent couch. You hear them, as I have sigh and reminisce of the days of Ariemus Ward and James Whitcomb Riley...
...simple X-ray method for determining the location of the layers of atoms in a crystal of metal has been devised by Alden B. Greninger, a student in the Graduate School of Engineering at Harvard University...
...technique now developed by Mr. Greninger, all problems involving cubic crystals may be solved with only one photograph, which can be taken in two or three hours and interpreted in a few minutes. The new method has its greatest usefulness in the study of materials which are opaque to X-rays, as are most metallic crystals. In most of these crystals the plane surfaces of the atoms lying in regular pattern diffract the X-rays within a relatively thin surface layer of the crystal. The method invented by Mr. Greninger is a variation of the method devised by Max Laue...
