...Yorker, Manhattan smart-chart, ran an interview with Grover Aloysius Whalen, fine-figured president of New York's forthcoming World's Fair (seep. 35). Excerpts: "My personal investigation in Europe has conclusively proved to me that there'll be no war. Why, the uncle of the King of Egypt told me today that there positively will be no war. ... A wave of enthusiasm for the World's Fair is sweeping Europe. That's what Europe is thinking of now-not war." Also last week the enterprising Mr. Whalen was pleased to pose with a group...
...last week put on the hull of the Admiralty's 650-ton brigantine, Research. Soon the Research will take up marine research where Carnegie Institute's Carnegie left off in 1929, when she blew up in Apia Harbor, Samoa. Threefold purpose of the Research will be to chart unsounded depths, to study atmospheric electricity, to find out what makes the North Pole attractive to compass needles. A 20th-century anachronism, the Research is a wooden sailing vessel, nonmagnetic in every possible detail. Her hull is of teak; bolts, girders and anchor chain of bronze; rigging will...
Baldish, 33-year-old Harry Cooper has a past-performance chart that dates back to 1927. That was the year he lost the U. S.

S. pro could equal: he has never finished lower than fourth in annual scoring. Last year his form sheet* revealed that his 1937 average-in 82 rounds of competition-was 71.62 strokes per round (better than even fours, which is considered perfect golf), that...
...York Herald Tribune: "If you will look at this chart of the stock market, held in the position in which you see it above, I believe you will see the profile of F. D. Roosevelt. It has surely been a Roosevelt market, 'as he planned...
That the entire country is commercially going to hell in a hack is certainly not true. While generally bad, business is not equally bad everywhere, a point not generally appreciated, but brought out last week when Dun & Bradstreet published in Dun's Review a nationwide chart of trade volume at the end of January (see map). Prepared by Dr. L. D. H. Weld of McCann-Erickson, Inc., the chart was based upon Federal Reserve Board figures for bank debits, wholesale sales and department store sales, R. L. Polk & Co. figures on new car registrations, Editor & Publisher's statistics...
