...salability, the Eastman tinting is described as giving scenes ''colors conforming to their emotional content." Two makes of talkies (R.C.A. and Western Electric) have their sound records on the edges of the films. Hitherto, if a film was tinted it interfered with light passing through the sound track, distorted the sound. Experiments were made with tinting only the visual portion of the film. The method was successful, but expensive. Then efforts were bent to securing tints that would not affect the light passing through the sound record. This has been achieved so that there is hardly any perceptible...
...discovery of a new helium deposit, the situation of which was not made public. Helium, which is almost as light as hydrogen, has the great advantage of being non-inflammable.

What is more it enables a whole file of a paper, extending over a period of three months or more, to be placed in evidence, and permits stopping publication entirely unless the publisher can prove every statement that has appeared in all that time?a thing practically impossible...
