...passed last year had teeth. By these terms all U. S. ships carrying 50 or more passengers were required to install, by July 1, 1937, automatic sprinkler systems or gain exemption by such other safety devices as steel decks, electric fire detection, patrols, manual alarms and an ample complement of fire extinguishers. The 109 U. S. Merchant Marine ships affected included the whole famed, globe-encircling Dollar Line and its subsidiary, the American Mail Line. Three months' extension was added to the effective date-making the deadline Oct. 1. While other lines docked their vessels to install sprinkler equipment...
...Navy's great search for Amelia Earhart Putnam and Navigator Fred Noonan, lost in mid-Pacific while flying round the world "for fun" (TIME, July 12, 19).

In many departments the tutorial idea has taken such deep roots that classes seem to be unconsciously regarded by the lecturer as a part to which the tutorial forms an inseperable complement. In some courses one is forced to conclude that, as far as an academic education is concerned, the man on the platform looks upon the tutorial system as the backbone and his lectures as somewhat unnecessary and irksome supplements. For the best student, who makes the best tutee, this approach...

The five digits, instead of corrupting freedom of movement, will support and complement each other." That the inventor of Fingertips received such a volume of good-humored publicity for her gadgets was largely attributable to the fact that she is the wife of Claude Greneker, veteran pressagent for Broad way's play-producing Brothers Shubert...
