Highly entertaining and occasionally hilarious, this is the first movie at the U. T. in weeks that clicks. The stale parts of the plot disappear under a thick layer of Oakieisms spiced with his fascinating drumming and pantomine by Auer. Two scenes made the critic laugh so hard that the rain shook off his hat down his neck. One is the Greek dance by the villainness on shoes whose soles Lily Pons has carefully soaped. A series of attempts by the immigration officers to find the French girl on the persons of "McLean's Wildcats" caused the second waterfall. Amid...
Ultraviolet radiation has a propensity for knocking electrons off molecules and thus creating ions-electrified particles. In the tenuous upper atmosphere of earth, far higher than any balloon has ascended, there are several layers of such ions which increase in density during sunspot peaks. This is to be expected since sunspots are accompanied by heavier ultra violet bombardment. These electrified layers serve to deflect most radio waves, curve them around the bulge of earth. In radio's pioneer days, when only one layer was known, it was called the Kennelly-Heaviside layer after its discoverers. Now the electrified region...
...other factors contribute toward excessive rainfall. One is that the polar winds have been recurring in blasts, rather than blowing in a steady stream. This allows the warm air to form in a thicker layer between blasts, concentrating precipitation...
...Minnesota Maid&" (TIME, Nov. 25, 1932), first dated at 20,000 years ago and thus a likely prospect for champion U. S. oldster, was later set down by many a scientist as an "intrusion"-a polite word which experts apply to material that does not belong to the geological layer in which it is found. This year, WPA workmen digging a storm drain for Ballona Creek near Los Angeles found a human skull. Dr. Aberdeen Orlando Bowden, head of the University of Southern California's anthropology department, pronounced it that of a 70-year-old woman with a long...
...increased revenue. The recoverable assets are being spent as they are recovered and the President promises there will be no new taxes. Hence the Government debt will not be reduced. It will probably stay at upwards of $35,000,000,000 until the next Depression when another layer of debt will be piled...
