...casket as the honorary pallbearers. Congress adjourned. Washington was enveloped in mourning. ¶. It took President Hoover's Haiti Commission less than a week of investigating at Port-au-Prince to forward its first and most important recommendation to the White House. The recommendation: Selection of a temporary neutral President to succeed Louis Borno, to be followed by a general election, the restoration of representative government, the withdrawal of the U.S. high commissioner and the marine occupation force.

Neutral atoms and molecules at the outer rim of the atmosphere dart further away from the earth into space. Sunlight ionizes them, creating an extremely tenuous cloud of ions and electrons. These radiate a faint light of their own, comparable to the light of the sun's corona. Zodiacal light...
...call himself George Smith. Where he was born nobody knows. He came into the world as Connelly, son of a porter in the employ of a great mercantile house in St. Louis. The name indicates his adventurous and individualist spirit. One regrets that he abandoned it for its neutral substitute. He did this in honor of James Smith, head of the firm, who, without adopting him, treated him as a son. Mrs. Smith was equally fond...
