Writing once a week, Colyumist Kahn devoted his first column to a defense of Colonel Lindbergh against the current press vogue of baiting him; his next, to debunking of the endurance flight stunt. His third column was a potpourri of impressions beginning, "Understand that sanitary conditions [at Newark Airport] are to be improved and that provision is being made for the comfort and convenience of air-voyagers." Last week came an impassioned if unoriginal protest against the newspaper practice of playing up airplane crashes while auto and rail accidents are treated casually...

Tones are changed in frequency, resulting in a language which no eaves- dropper could understand. At the receiving end of the radio telephone a translating apparatus changes the inverted tones back to normal. The "scram-bled speech" invention is already used by five transatlantic radio telephone channels. Bell Telephone Laboratories' staff of researchers-3,000 scientists and engineers-is now working on refinements, hopes soon...
...your muttons. So hints Astronomer Sir James Jeans. "It is true, in a sense somewhat different from that intended by Galileo, that 'Nature's great book is written in mathematical language.' So true is it that no one except a mathematician need ever hope fully to understand those branches of science which try to un ravel universe-the theory fundamental of nature of relativity, the the theory of quanta and the wave-mechanics...
