...appropriate form of currency to circulate vicariously for the silver that the Treasury is buying in quantity (see p. 17) Secretary Morgenthau last week announced a new form of silver certificate. The same size as present dollar bills, it will be distinguished by an unfamiliar but appropriate design. On the back it will bear the well-known obverse likeness of the Great Seal of the U. S. (adopted in 1782), the eagle with E Pluribus Unum in its beak, a branch of olive in one talon, a clawful of arrows in the other. And alongside will appear the little-known...
Occasionally the Professor's imagination, his instinctive sense of design and sure draughtsmanship made him antedate the modern surrealists by two generations with such a drawing as Bridget's Dream, a nightmarish wedding of nightshirts, handkerchiefs, sunbonnets and bed socks (see cut).

Even more radical in design than the Hammond is the tailless plane developed in California by an oldtime test pilot named Waldo Deane Waterman.

This highly unconventional design features V-shaped wings which sweep back to tapering tips on which are mounted vertical rudder fins. The ailerons are so rigged that they also serve as elevators, thus simplifying control. The chunky two-place cabin...

He stayed on to become Chrysler vice president in charge of production. Mr. Zeder was chief engineer at Studebaker in 1924 when Mr. Chrysler invited him to design the first Chrysler engine. He remained to build succeeding models as chief engineer. Mr. Hutchinson, onetime auditor with Ernst & Ernst, onetime treasurer of American Writing Paper Co., performed his first big task as treasurer for Walter Chrysler in 1922 by bagging $12,000,000 in bank loans while money experts...
