Last week in a talk to the university and freshman track candidates, Dr. Kennedy referred to the undergraduates at Princeton as "smoothies", asserting that successful athletics depend upon the desire of the undergraduates to sacrifice soft living, and devote their efforts toward athletic endeavor. The current "smoothie" complex he holds directly responsible for "Princeton's disgraceful sports record of the past few years...
...Manhattan's West Side shops cut the price of Grade C gin to 75?. Some of the East Side shops followed. At others the price has remained $1 and $1.25. Grade B gin is 50? more, Grade A 25? above that. The grades vary little in taste. Prices depend to some extent on the location of the shops; chiefly on overhead- rents and "tips." Rents usually vary between $50 and $200 per month; shopowners are unwilling to say how much it costs them to remain unmolested. Profits are not exorbitant. One gallon of the cheapest alcohol costs from...
Historical plays usually depend on a blend of politics and escapade which is not likely to end happily in real life. In this picture, Hamilton's adversaries try to trick him into a scandal by sending an adventuress to cajole him into misbehavior. Hamilton is cajoled but he survives the scandal. He even preserves the loyalty of his wife by placing upon her clothes, which she is packing to leave him, a sprig of rosemary. A potent agent in the cinema for what is Good, True & Beautiful, Cinemactor Arliss thus confers a dubious benison on U. S. schoolchildren...
...public is being unduly alarmed about the degree of hardship in prospect for this winter. Unemployment difficulties are vastly exaggerated. If 6,000,000 persons become jobless, that does not mean 30,000,000 (five to a family) will depend on charity, but rather only about 4,000,000. At least one man in three has savings to fall back on. The country must stop expecting the worst. Conditions are not good but nobody will starve. There is too much "tightening of the belt" in anticipation of need and hardship, which reduces buying, makes matters worse. If the word "Unemployment...
...Cornerstones of industry," "protectors of human life" were titles which chemists who attended the 82nd meeting of the American Chemical Society in Buffalo last week applied to themselves. Although their value to life and well-being is incalculable, they could justly figure that eleven billion dollars of industry depend upon their knowledge and activity. The diversity of their work has enforced specializing: agriculture and food chemistry, biology, medicine, cellulose, colloids, dyes, fertilizers, gas and fuel, leather and gelatin, paint and varnish, petroleum, rubber, sugar, water, sewage and sanitation...
