American Tobacco Co. handles about one-third of the cigaret and smoking tobacco, about one-fourth of the plug tobacco sold in the U. S. Among its many familiar brands are Sweet Caporal, Pall Mall, Lucky Strike cigarets, Bull Durham and Half and Half smoking tobaccos. Sales last year totaled some $200,000,000. The advertising appropriation on Lucky Strikes alone was estimated at $12,300,000. As the largest fragment of Thomas Fortune Ryan's Tobacco Trust, which the government dissolved in 1911, American Tobacco Co. occupies in its field somewhat the position held by Standard...

In Nanking, officials of the Nationalist Government examined minutely the wording of the Khabarovsk Treaty, started angrily at the number of concessions to Russia to which abject Manchurians had agreed announced that they would not ratify the Chino-Soviet Treaty, summoned placid Mr. Mo for a good talking...
...fall within the scope of the House Plan, inasmuch as they are not affected by the tutorial system is the greatest objection which can be raised to justify their exclusion. Yet there are many who feel that the School has reached a critical stage. Either it must strike off independently of the College than is now the case, assuming a relation like that of the distinct graduate school, or it must identify itself more completely with the academic branch. This latter relation would presuppose the adoption of the House Plan in some form...
