Last fortnight all 17 Sunday Hearst-papers crashed out with 32 pages of tabloid comics. The half-page space that formerly got $9,000, now was called a full page at $10,000; and the back page was rated...
...last year's $9,000,000, some $2,000,000 was collected by William Randolph Hearst's Comic Weekly, which is circulated with his 17 Sunday papers (circulation, 6,000,000). Comic Weekly consisted of 16 pages, and its advertising space sold for $16,000 a page, $9,000 a half-page. Few months ago Publisher Hearst's smart editors & managers pondered a bold idea. By turning the paper sidewise, i.e. into tabloid form, twice as many comics could be packed in without using an ounce more of newsprint. More comics should bring more circulation...
What would be of more value to the college than a motorized snow-sweeper or an open-air parking space at $6.00 per month would be a pamphlet giving a fairly detailed, complete and specific listing of the reading covered in the course, and of the method of approach. Lest the faculty be too alarmed by fears of regimentation, let it be said that this list need not be in the nature of a promise nor even of a threat which their consciences or University Hall would drive them to abide by. To be sure, some courses, such as History...
Edwin Powell Hubble of Mt. Wilson Observatory has at his disposal a 100-inch reflector, world's largest telescope, and with it he takes longer looks into space than any other man. Before the National Academy of Sciences last spring, Astronomer Hubble put the limit of the visible universe at 300,000,000 light-years from Earth (TIME, May 7).* Later he extended the limit to 400,000,000 lightyears. Last week he reported catching on a high-speed photographic plate the faint impression of a galaxy of stars 500,000,000 light-years away...
...Earth. The speeds of the most distant cannot be deduced in this manner, since the spectra are too faint to be analyzed. But it has been observed that speeds are closely proportional to distance, increasing about 1,000 miles per second for every 10,000,000 light-years of space. Few months ago Dr. Hubble measured the fastest nebular retreat at 24,000 miles per second. That one was 240,000,000 light-years away. No decipherable spectrum of the outpost nebula reported last week was obtained, but. if it follows the rule, it is receding from Earth...
