Last week Inquisitor Seabury put Builder Fred F. French on the stand. Mr. French, Brooklyn-born, was once a Princeton student, then successively a cow hand, stoker, timekeeper when the Hippodrome Theatre was erected. He is responsible for the Tudor City residential de-velopment on Manhattan's East Side. When he wanted to erect a Fifth Avenue office building of dimensions which needed an "interpretation" from the Board of Standards & Appeals in 1926, Builder French was guided to the Olvany firm...
...same issue, describing the "Anti-Tammany Cow," your repeated incorrect use of "udders," indicating the cow's teats, will amuse farm-raised TiME-readers-perhaps a more numerous section than you suspect.

The committee found that the number of milk cows on farms has been increasing for four years, is likely to continue to increase if left unchecked, eventually bringing low prices. Chairman of the committee is Harry Hartke, a soft-spoken Kentucky farmer who is president of French Bros. Dairy Products, Cincinnati. Big, good-natured Mr. Hartke did not seem the sort of man to propose a vast cow slaughter without reason. Lumberman as well as dairyman, he had never countenanced waste. And, indeed, upon closer examination...
This simple solution of potential milk troubles-with whatever consequences it might have for the meat business-took form in the following resolution: "Be it therefore resolved, that all low producing and unprofitable cows be culled from herds and sold for slaughter, that additional heifer calves be vealed, and that each farmer reduce the size of his herd by eliminating at least one cow out of each...
