Spring Station is perhaps the strangest of stockholders' stamping grounds but some other corporations also select out-of-the-way places for their annual meetings. Mathieson Alkali meets at Saltville. Va. (pop.: 2,964), F. W. Woolworth Co. at Watertown, N. Y., near Utica where it was founded, Anaconda Copper at Anaconda, Mont. U. S. Steel meets at Hoboken, N. J., where it serves a light lunch. Not all big U. S. corporations seek inaccessible spots. Of the 29 with the largest number of U. S. stockholders, eight meet in New York, five in Wilmington, two each in Baltimore...
...Though some $300,000,000 of new brewing, distilling, investment trust, mining and a few industrial issues have been registered with the Federal Trade Commission, no old-line company, up to last fortnight, had stepped into the stagnant market for long-term capital. First to do so was Mathieson Alkali Works (industrial chemicals and the world's largest maker of chlorine), which quietly filed a registration statement in Washington for $7,000,000 of new common stock to finance a new plant in Louisiana. Said the New York Evening Post last week: "If one large and reputable corporation takes...
...many months the Department has been trying to find out why, in a few arid regions of the Southwest, wheat, corn and alfalfa are sickly, and why cattle fed solely on this sickly fodder are puny and short-lived.

Selenium is the light-sensitive substance...
...first, led by J. O. Brew 4G, will continue the excavations begun in 1931 on Alkali Ridge, in the San Juan drainage of Southeastern Utah. Alkali Ridge is covered with hundreds of ruins, dating from the pit house of Basket-maker times to the many-roomed stone structures of Puoblo III. The object of the expedition is to define the Pueblo II culture, which has never been determined. Thirteen sites were excavated last year with gratifying results...
...will be in charge of D. S. Byers '25. It will excavate the ruins in a great cave on the Chinle valley near the Utah-Arizona line, formerly called Waterfall Ruin. The cave is thought to contain rubbish and ruins of cultures paralleling those that are represented by the Alkali Ridge sites. It is hoped that the results of the work will clarify the problem presented by the Ridge, and throw further light on some of the earlier cultures of the region, since the dry rubbish is known to contain perishable material not preserved in open sites...
