...slow, sly Jacobs chops. Her victory, 6-4, 5-7, 5-2, set the stage for a final that promised to be boringly familiar. Even the fact that Helen Wills Moody had been troubled all week by a sore back led no one to suppose that the result could differ materially from that of other Moody-Jacobs encounters, in which Helen Jacobs had failed to win a single...
...counters are multiple arrangements of individual counting-tubes. Arranging three tubes in the form of a triangle, Professor Rossi was able, by recording simultaneous discharges in the three tubes, to pin down the secondary rays as originating in the neighborhood of the triangle. He found that the splash rays differ from the primary rays in penetrative power. Up to a certain point the showers were more frequent as the thickness of the lead sheet was increased; the maximum shower production was observed in lead of such thickness that it weighed 20 grams per square centimetre. Beyond this thickness the number...

But it varies with the hours of the day and the seasons of the year, as if Earth periodically gets between the radio receiver and an extra-terrestrial source of the hiss.

Directional studies show that the hiss must originate near the point in the Milky Way toward which the Sun is rushing Earth and the other planets. Researcher Jansky left...
...purpose of the meeting is to arouse sentiment against the Hitler regime. Thus, the meeting will differ from previous Liberal Club meeting in that it will not be controversial.
