...Onondaga Indians at a reservation 3½ mi. south of Syracuse, the State of New York last week sent 150 bu. of salt and $700 in cash. No gift was this, but the annual payment in cash & kind stipulated by ancestors of the present Onondagas when the State purchased from them the site of the City of Syracuse in 1795. Reason for the salt: within the area of 10 sq. mi. originally purchased was all the salt in that region. The Indians apparently .had done without salt until 1654, when Jesuit Missionary Simon le Moyne discovered that a spring from...
Last week Harvard's annual athletics report quoted a letter from Field (London sporting weekly) to show that British university sports, reputed to be less overemphasized than collegiate sports in the U. S., actually require more of the students' time & energy. In addition to regular intercollegiate cricket matches, the Field said there was an annual average of 14 post-season matches, some as late as mid-July. The average number of events on teams' schedules was given: cross-country, 12; association football (soccer), 20; rugby, 28; golf, 20; hockey, 25; lacrosse, 15 ; swimming, 12. Rugby stars last...
...goes on concerning the problem of whether Over-Production was a cause of the Depression or has been merely accentuated by it. To industries already faced with Over-Production. the Depression has been an almost fatal blow. Oil consumption was nearing stability on a basis that allowed for an annual increase of 10%. The 1930 increase will be abnormal and the difference upsets all plans for stability. Too much competition seems to have been at the root of many cases of overproduction. Small competitors cannot afford to restrict output, prefer to sell by price-cutting. International competition has also been...
...Hunt & George S. Chappell-Coward-McCann ($2).* Compilers Hunt & Chappell put up a blatant front of impartiality on the Wet & Dry question. At the top of every page they reprint some moral tale or verse from some such temperance sourcebook as No Gin Today, Anecdotes from the Platform, Temperance Annual; then counter at the bottom with recipes for drinks. The scheme, more ingenious than its execution, is helped somewhat by pseudo-Victorian pseudo-engravings by Artist John Held Jr. Like all rummagings in the attic, this one recovers some rare antiques; the full version of that affecting ballad, "Father, Dear...
...annual production of Princeton University's Triangle Club-most ambitious of U. S. college musicomedies-is annually hailed by the current undergraduates as -much better than last year's show.-This year's Triangle show is called The Tiger Smiles. Its excellence easily equals anything the club has done since it was founded 42 years ago. The plot is to portray and satirize Princeton in the 1890's and 1990's. More time and attention are devoted to the earlier years, a happy choice. Most impressive factor in the opening scenes is the costuming. There...
