...student who has not received an honor grade in his College Board examination, a needlessly complicated system has been devised. Since in most prep schools the College Board in English is taken in the senior year, there is no chance for the repeating course suggested by University Hall. Even if such a repeat could be made, it would be a complete waste of time to take another prep school course in English merely because one has failed to receive an honor grade in the first. Unless a man has failed his English College Board he, too, should be allowed...
This dramatic match last week ended 14 successive days of caroms, draw shots and four-cushion banks at Chicago's Sherman Hotel. Defending Champion Johnny Layton, a 3-to-1 favorite to repeat, fell behind at the start. When he met Hoppe, a fly zoomed on his cue ball, rested comfortably while Layton fidgeted.

Backing this up last week he showed the academicians how the 23-year cycle could be traced in the water levels of the Great Lakes, in yearly growth rings on trees, in the catch of codfish and mackerel, in deposits of clay laid down by Pleistocene glaciers. On the basis of his cycle...

Therefore. I have long since come to the conclusion that you must rule out the spring and summer months because of financial business. You must rule out August and September because of the holidays. You are left autumn, but in no circumstances must...
...methods of production, but it is unlikely that where the depression has failed to do this, higher wages could. In other industries or firms where large profits still exist, laborers may be able to take a larger cut from gross income. But a general increase in wage-rates, to repeat, like a rise in the price of anything else, merely means less demand for it, which in this case means more unemployment...
