...craw which apparently occasioned this statement was an NLRB report, issued last week, which in effect showed that, as a general thing, employes participating in NLRB elections prefer C. I. O. over A. F. of L. In 208 of 966 elections between October 1935, and January i, 1938, C. I. O. directly opposed A. F. of L., won 160. In all, C. I. O. contested in 557 elections, won 81.7%; A. F. of L. entered 453, won 56.1%. Lately the proportion of A. F. of L. victories has risen, C. I. O.'s has declined, and (significantly for both...
...their veneration of cows." In spite of such temptations to lay down the white man's law, Yeats-Brown says: "I have no intention of teaching the grandmother of our civilization how to suck the eggs of democracy." Nor does India's caste system stick in his craw. He cites it as a method of spreading employment, as in the case of his Indian officer friend, who employed 25 servants, supported in all 62 people.

First British subject to win at Wimble don since Gerald Patterson in 1922, Craw ford last week clearly made himself the tennis player of the year. His victory over Vines was only a little more alarming, from the point of view of U. S. chances in the Davis Cup, than his defeat of Cochet in the French hard court championships a month ago. Red-faced, beefy, tireless and, except for the fact that his backhand is more defensive than a world-champion's should be. without a noticeable weakness on the court, he used to lose his matches with...
Next week's concert will be Bob Craw ford's first formal appearance in Fairbanks. But many an oldtimer there remembers how, aged 7, Bob would sing the only song he knew, "In The Good Old Summer Time," while other children passed a fur hat among the miners. The Crawford family had migrated from Dawson, Canada, down the Yukon and up the Tanana River, looking for gold. They were among Fairbanks' first settlers. Bob Crawford first studied music on a mail order fiddle, with a French exile named Vic Durand. His first song, "My Northland," has been...
...constructed a fiber tube, into which the guinea pig may craw!; one end of the tube opening into an ordinary dynamic radio loudspeaker. On one side of the tube is a door, through which a little drum may be placed, and as the pig breathes pressure causes the drum to contract, raising and lowering a pointer which marks on a revolving smoked drum. This apparatus is rather amusing, for the guinea pig crawls into it without any encouragement, and once inside never attempts to move. When the experimenting is over, one merely points the tube toward the light...
