...experimenting. He has devised a day-or-night rocket to explode at 4,000 ft. and hoped to adjust the explosion to give an incoming pilot an accurate idea of the airport location and the height of the fogbank. Another line of experimentation, he suggested, might be a sound-signal to the fog-barred pilot, "a distinctive sound . . . which would cut through the noise of the motor and reach the aviator...
...because the Stabilization Corp. had at last stabilized something. The Chicago wheat price had stayed where the Farm Board thought it ought to, 18? to 20? above Winnipeg and other world markets. The Board had turned its dismal failure of last Winter (TIME, March 10 et seq.) into a signal success. Wan but glad Mr. Milnor told newsgatherers: "I know that not only in grain circles, among millers, bankers and businessmen, but in Washington, a new attitude toward this action has developed overnight. If the Farm Board never did another thing, it will have justified itself...
...Haven, Conn., Nov. 17--A short signal drill for three elevens constituted the entire workout for the Yale squad today, while Coaches Stevens and Walsh spent some time pointing out the errors of the game with Princeton.

The Vanderbilt Revue. There are comparatively few funnywomen, none of whom are funnier than hearty, contagious, coarse Lulu McConnell. Four years ago she created the part...
Last week while mine inspectors were investigating the coal mine tragedy in Millfield, Ohio (see p. 18), Daniel Harrington, Chief of the Safety Division of the U. S. Bureau of Mines, urged metal mine operators to adopt a modern method of warning miners of danger. The alarm signal is a penetrating odor. Metal mines (unlike coal mines, which use electrically operated fans) are ventilated by compressed air which travels into the farthest corners at the rate of about 1,000 ft. per sec. Engineers have found that a little odorous liquid injected at the source of the air supply will...
