...waters would be guilty of murder too, would therefore be prosecuted under Ohio's murder statutes instead of Cleveland's health ordinance. Nevertheless, last week when the corpse of a woman, from which the head, arms and legs had been expertly cut, was found in the shallow waters of Lake Erie at Cleveland, police announced that they could use nothing more drastic than the health ordinance against the murderer. This was true, they said, because what they had of the corpse was unidentifiable...
Last week a new science was given a new name. Hydroponics, by its foremost U. S. practitioner, Dr. William Frederick Gericke of the University of California. Set out in row's at the University's plant experiment station in Berkeley are a number of shallow tanks made of wood, concrete, metal. From some of these tanks grow thick, towering clumps of tomato plants bearing rich red clusters of fruit. From other tanks and in an equal state of vigor grow potatoes, tobacco, gladioli, begonias. The roots of the plants are not in soil but in chemically treated water...
...panoramic action which was his hallmark in the silent days. Often his cameras, handled by four of Hollywood's topflight cinematographers, clinch the pictorial language of the plains in brief, consummate idioms: a stagecoach ribboning down the long slant of a prairie shoulder; the Cheyennes charging up a shallow river riding so evenly their ranks look like a drift of mist; braves in war paint raiding a cabin where two women are alone; a herd of buffalo, with a scout's horse among them grazing in the burnt grass...
...sleek, cocky star fullback, who breaks the small-town girl's heart, and the second-team "regular fellow," who runs wild in the final game to carry off both the victory and the same home town girl. In the middle of this very long film the producers showed a shallow streak of guilty conscience in the person of a meek professor, who objects to his small college vying for the Rose Bowl bid on the grounds that it will attract too much publicity of the wrong kind. It is not strange that the football players in football romances get away...
During the present campaign it has been the fate of shallow minds to confuse the dramatic, band-stand plays of Roosevelt for political liberalism. The Yale News falls squarely into this trap. It pays the New Deal the compliment of having done something for the worker. If the N.R.A., with its haphazard and unalterable codes drawn up by the Chamber of Commerce at will, could do anything for labor, that benefits has yet to appear. If the breakup of the united labor front in this country into a Green and a Lewis camp, which was openly fostered by the President...
