...countrymen last week. > Relieved of his post as Chief of the R. A. F. Fighter Command in November to undertake a mission to discuss plane production in Canada and the U. S., Air Chief Marshal Sir Hugh ("Stuffy") Dowding arrived in Ottawa, told newsmen: "During the past autumn a method has been found to deal with the night-bombing menace and equipment is being rapidly completed. Of course, I'm not at liberty to give you any details of the methods to be used, but I confidently believe it will not be long now before all the weight...
...There Shall Be No Night." Its functional if unexciting scene is the interior of a transatlantic Clipper during a Lisbon-New York flight. The interior, is so faithfully reproduced that old Clipperites might expect genial Captain Bill Winston to wander in and begin expounding his sure-fire method of winning at roulette...
...rather surprising that in his address the President assumed that the opposition to his stated policy is negligible. To be "realistic" is the fashion today, but it is hardly realistic for him to talk of national unity when disagreement is so evident high and low.

(advertising agency), formed, half in fun and half in earnest, the Fellowship of the Bellows. Aim: "to raise the wind" for purchasing Hurricane and other fighter planes for the R. A. F.

Helium is the hardest of all gases to liquefy. The standard method involves liquid hydrogen, which is unstable and highly explosive. Kapitza's method not only did away with liquid hydrogen, but. cut the cost of making a quart from $50 to $5, the time from 24 hours to two hours or less. In the neighborhood of absolute zero, ordinary lubricants freeze hard as iron and Kapitza's problem was to find a lubricant for his compressor. He solved the problem by allowing a little helium vapor to squeeze through the piston clearance, so that the helium itself...
