...across the Pacific. The nature of that storm, stirred up by the worst sort of yellow journalism and political demagogy would have repelled a stronger man; to Judd it appeared adequate substantiation of a move which he regarded as his only resort in a muddle which had grown too complex for his powers...
...into the field must see that the study is not futile merely because it has not given a panacea for business ills; for the depression by making problems more complex and more acute is actually giving the field a greater appeal. They must see that economists are not primarily moneymakers and do not propose to find cure-alls, but rather hope to examine the economic structure and to analyze factors, controlling those which can be controlled and weighing those which cannot. The decrease of membership of the Economics department, by indicating the closer restriction of the field to these...
...decline in crude rubber to a new low of 3? per Ib. has caused many large inventory losses. Shipments of tires have fallen sharply. In 1931 total shipments were 6.7% below 1930, 27.9% below 1929. In January they were off 13.1% from January 1931. Problems of marketing have been complex, sales to chain stores and service stations being made at prices often considered unfair by independent dealers...
...physical characteristics of the stars carries one into the realm of atomic physics and spectroscopic theory. The astronomical treatment of the earth as a planet necessarily requires the assistance of geology. The motions of the planets provide the application of the laws of dynamics in a somewhat more complex state of affairs than that provided by most terrestrial conditions. And, of course, the student of astronomy, and the professional astronomer too, finds a knowledge of meteorology a handy accessory. Thus a student concentrating in astronomy finds essential contacts with other fields of science and with mathematics...
...pure metals which Professor Bridgman has squeezed become better conductors of electricity the greater the pressure. Iron becomes more rigid, glass less rigid. Zinc crystals compress seven times as much in one direction as in another. Most compressible of metals is cesium, presumably because its atom is highly complex. The greater the pressure on rocks, the greater the heat needed to melt them...
