TIME, Oct. 14, advances the thought that General Craig's "progress after he left the Academy should give hope to West Point's dullards." This is based on the premise that General Craig graduated at the bottom of his class...
...made hair-shirt of popular disgust formerly worn in North America by Herbert Hoover was transferred to Canada's rich and pious Conservative Premier Richard Bedford Bennett, an able and aggressive businessman who neither drinks nor smokes but has been seen by intimates to extract furtively from the bottom drawer of his desk a chocolate cream. In desperation good Mr. Bennett attempted briefly to ape President Roosevelt's New Deal (TIME. Jan. 14) but this was dead in Canada last week and all but forgotten.

If, when suspended above an ore body, it swung back & forth 100 times, then the bottom of the ore body was 100 feet below the earth's surface. If it oscillated in a circle 20 times, then the ore contained one ounce of gold to the ton. Judging how far below the earth the top of an ore body might be was more difficult but Mr. Haas...
