Henri Cochet plays tennis as though the game were an argument couched in a difficult idiom which he alone had mastered. His placements have the brilliance, the finality of condescending epigrams. With such epigrams he might perhaps have punctured the crude bombast of Wilmer Allison's speedy serve last week, had he not flown over to Paris for Rene Lacoste's wedding to the French golf champion, Mile Simone Thion de la Chaume.

He released such drugs only to those manufacturers who had proved to his Administration that they sincerely wished to sell only such pure, safe drugs. His staff inspected manufacture as frequently as they could. Congress did not supply him with sufficient money to hire the vast staff he really required for fool-proof supervision of all foods, drugs and insecticides.* He was obliged to compromise for expediency, to trust the manufacturers' probity...
Ohio Oil-Transcontinental Oil. Ohio Oil (founded 1887; former Standard subsidiary; assets $110,000,000; in 1929 earned $12,392,097; crude producer and refiner) bought Transcontinental Oil (small but well-integrated and recently prosperous; Amos L. Beaty, former Chairman of Texas Corp., has been Transcontinental Chairman since August 1929; 1929 earnings $4,723,990, three times 1928). The union is logical because the companies jointly control rich Yates Pool in Pecos County, Texas...
