...Knows?, on a four-station MBS network for Griffin's shoe polish Saturday nights 8:30 to 8:45 E.S.T., is the latest thing in radio ghost stories. Its talebearer is gaunt, ghost-grey Dr. Hereward Carrington, director of the American Psychical Institute, an oldtime spook-hunter who likes to spend his vacations in haunted houses. Last week Who Knows? spun a yarn about a composer who came back after death with the finale to a concerto left unfinished at his death. This week a Scotland Yard detective solves a murder mystery by premonition. The trade's handy...
...Zestful, grey-bearded Boardman Robinson is best known for his murals in Manhattan, Washington, points west. But like Winslow Homer, John Sloan, many another U. S. artist, he first spent long years illustrating newspapers and magazines. Last week a show of 50 drawings and water colors he has done in the last quarter-century went on display in Manhattan's Walker Galleries. Artist Robinson's first exhibit in a decade, it gave youngsters a chance to see what their elders already knew: that for spirit, satire and sound draftsmanship, none of his murals can touch his early sketches...

Savage as an air raid but far stiller is his Pogrom, a huddled heap of corpses lying quietly on a Torah scroll...
...machine-tool industry is no monster economic unit. In a big year like 1937 it may gross $200,000,000, about as much as the automobile industry (cars and trucks) may gross in a month. When other industry stagnates, it stagnates too, and its grey-haired veterans switch their diamond-studded long-service pins from their overalls to the lapels of their best blue suits. The companies that make machine tools are as individualistic as their workmen. Most of them started as small family enterprises, and have not far outgrown that stage. Because of their independence...
...also showed that they had been more astute in investments than any other big financial group, grounded the fair conclusion that policyholders had suffered less in depression than bank depositors, brokers' customers, stockholders of investment trusts. Toward the close of the hearing last fortnight, SEC's grey-haired young inquisitor, Gerhard Gesell, showed however, that the record of insurance companies beyond the control of such strict States as New York and Massachusetts had been something less than perfect...
