...called a "fellowship." Director Edward Ray Weidlein of the Institute then hires one or more expert "fellows," tells them to get to work with any of the equipment in the $6,000,000 aluminum-trimmed establishment which Andrew Mellon and his late brother Richard provided. All the worker is bound to do is to give Mr. Weidlein a weekly report of progress. If a Mellon "research" ends profitably, the worker is apt to get a good job with the manufacturer who paid the bills. If the worker is also clever he can get the University of Pittsburgh to award...
...block. By court order he was to offer the road at "the main entrance of the division superintendent's office at the Cedar Lake Shops." Arriving at the precise spot on the second floor of a grimy yellow brick building, white-crowned old Master Abbott pulled out a bound document, adjusted his pince-nez, began to read aloud to himself.

The harder but wiser course is for the Council to set out on a broad program of stimulating interest and carrying on impartial discussion among all economic sects and creeds. There is an opportunity for real service among...
...order drill, but they do not run away. Not in all the nine months of Spain's civil war has there been anything on either side to match the complete rout of the Italian divisions at Brihuega, and Rightist General Franco and his German and Italian backers were bound to make that defeat good last week. More than prestige was at stake in the attack on Bilbao. Bilbao captured should give the Rightists control of the Biscay coast, remove serious military pressure on their rear, allow thousands of men to be transferred to the siege of Madrid.
