High Speed Protons. An apparatus for accelerating the motion of protons until they race along at 37,000 mi. per sec. has been successfully tested, explained Dr. Ernest Orlando Lawrence, physicist at the University of California. The new method does not involve the difficult high voltages which have been thought necessary in producing high speed sub-atomic projectiles. Protons (hydrogen atoms stripped of their electrons) are sent back and forth between two semicircular hollow plates by means of alternating currents of 10,000 volts and a magnetic field. As they continue in a spiral motion they gather speed, finally shoot...
...After a few test runs in daily papers, last week Ex-Lax ("the safe laxative that tastes like chocolate") advertising was started on a national magazine campaign. Simple in form, it consisted of an endorsement, a picture of the endorser, a few remarks by the company, a free sample offer. Its appeal lay wholly in the endorser: Charles ("Chic") Sale, author of The Specialist and I'll Tell...
...which prevent undue acidity. The great work of filtration is done by a tank containing 27 tons of graded Cape May, New Jersey sand, through which the water will seep. Before entering the pool it will be impregnated with chlorine gas, which lends a greenish color. The results are tested twice daily by comparing a test-tube full of water with a graded color chart. In addition the floor of the tank will be periodically subjected to the suction of a large curry comb, connected by a hose to the vacuum end of the pumps...
...athletes have always shown on the field a remarkable amount of team spirit. But the idea that spectators can win games by the intensity of their gaze and the power of their lungs is not exalted at Harvard, firstly, because such pressure does not seem an especially admirable test of inward spirit, and secondly, because the idea that games can be so won is ninetenths a fallacy.

...Last week in Paris Paul Roger of the Pathe group was planning the synchronization of Valentino's Blood and Sand, as a test for making dead stars talk, with a Valentino mimic capable of gauging and timing the dialog accurately...
