Duranty, was that it "brought forth three resolutions to skip like mice across the pages of the newspaper Pravda" (Truth). The three resolutions "contain nothing new. . . . The fundamental stumbling block to Soviet progress today is the food shortage of which the resolutions say nothing. The shortage is causing neither famine nor hunger but it is a universal shortage...
...quiet Samuel Insull of the froglike smile and secret methods was not generous. With millions at his control he was not apt to forget a past favor, or a possible future one. For some time Chicago tongues have wagged concerning the existence of an "Insull Christmas List," said to contain 1,600 names. Last week this list was not published, but a "syndicate list" of Insull Utility Investments was. It showed 205 favored persons and firms who had been allowed to buy 250,000 shares of the company's stock at $12 a share just before it was offered...
...experience deeply much of life, and he must suffer. Since modern living conditions tend to remove the opportunities for meditation and suffering, or at least to postpone such opportunities till after college life, large numbers of students are excusably irreligious.

For a half dozen years those will rank as the world's fourth largest instruments, after Carnegie Institution's 100-in. telescope at Mount Wilson, the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory's 72-in. at Victoria, B. C.. Perkins Observatory's 69-in. at Delaware, Ohio. Near Bloemfontein, South Africa Harvard owns a 60-incher. The Harvard observatories at Bloemfontein and Harvard (the town) are practically equidistant from the equator, positions which give Harvard well-nigh perfect opportunity to rake...
...exactly something new; it was merely old enough to seem new. It was Rough Crepe, which takes more silk fibre per yard than any other silk dress stuff. Crepe de Chine has not been "in" for years, rough crepes have never been popular. Few wardrobes would contain old crepe de Chine dresses, let alone rough crepes, that could be made over. Silk men know that there are 10,000,000 U. S. women who have never had a silk dress. Perhaps 5,000,000 more cannot now afford to buy one, though a silk dress that cost...
