...liquidated, its readership swallowed by Pictorial Review, to give that Hearst property a whacking monthly circulation of over 3,000,000.* April issue now in the hands of the printers will be the last of Delineator as such. The pattern service of Butterick Co., Delineator's publishing parent, will continue separately. No other Delineator department will survive...
...have already shown, or rather suggested, Harvard has a history of which all Americans may be proud, and is an institution which reflects the highest credit on its parent state. It is not a very grand place when compared with Oxford or Cambridge, but then it is not fair to compare them. In the first place America is a young country; in the second place Harvard is not American in a large sense.

...more productive. At Bay City, Mich., 18 mi. from Midland on Lake Huron, Dow now makes a magnesium alloy that is one-third lighter than aluminum and good for airplane and machinery parts.

Mutual will handle all distribution, passing on the profits, if any, to its dealers. Thus while the dealers will still have to pay more for their tires than volume customers, the difference will be exactly...
...possibility of bathos and given a certain wistful distinction by Patricia MacMakin, who shows up best in the scene immediately after her rescue, when, naive and self-contained, she discourses on the family failing for falling off things--her father fell off the roof only last week. This same parent (who, it seems, fell on something--something which broke his fall) was given the full distinction which the role offered by Sardis Lawrence, who brought out all the irony, all the spirit, and all the easy-going-live-and-let-live character of Madge's aged and indigent composer-father...
