The headline makes it sound like they are designing a gas chamber.

Machinery to Eliminate Humans
THE last word in the elimination of the human factor in the manufacture of machinery is represented in the erection of the new A. C. Smith research engineering plant in Milwaukee which will house the laboratories of a staff of highly trained research engineers whose efforts will be directed along the lines of creating a 100% automatic frame plant, that is, a machine-perfect factory.

I thought about putting this in the Origins category since it is clearly the progenitor of Skeletor.

Seeing Ghosts NOW EXPLAINED BY SIMPLE EXPERIMENTS

GHOSTLY, sheeted figures, seen as one runs past a dark cemetery, are not merely figments of the imagination. They are actually seen as real ghosts looming out of the night.

This is the conclusion arrived at by psychologists who now claim that people really see with their own eyes the apparitions that form the bases of “true” ghost stories.

According to these psychologists you can, at will, see synthetic specters, in the following manner:

Do they mean that the Jockeys lose that weight? Or the horses? Because I think the only way a jockey is going to loose five pounds in an hour is if you cut their leg off.

Reducing Suits
Horses, as well as overweight humans, can trim off pounds by sunning in a plastic “silhouette” suit. Jockeys say it helps them reduce as much as five pounds in an hour.

The caption below the image says: “Emotions shown on faces in background are recorded by instrument sensitive to electric resistance of skin”. I’m a little confused by the pictures. Clowns are scary, so I suppose you could say that the clown face represents fear, but what about the bull? What does that represent? How about the fish, bird, dog, monkey and whatever the hell that is in the upper right corner?

Electric Meter Tests Skin to Gauge Emotion

Call it an emotion meter, lie detector or what you will, an electric device contrived by Dr. D. Urich Greenwald at the University of Iowa draws a curve of your emotions as they run the gamut of joy, horror, fear, surprise, love. As you react to some stimulus that “gets under your skin,” the electric needle reacts to emotional changes in resistance in your skin. Used by Dr. Christian A. Ruckmick in studies of emotion, this instrument is called a dermohmograph; derm for skin, ohm for electrical resistance, graph for its record on photographic paper.
