When the paper money of a nation rises on international exchange, it is as though the paper had been dipped in clinging gold dust, making it more prized in gold-greedy eyes.

Unfortunately the process is slow, unequal at first in the case of different places or commodities, and therefore highly painful. II Duce, courageous, sought last week to get the inevitable over as quickly as possible by jamming down prices and wages with one fell thrust...

Scouts, grenade dischargers, and wire cutters mingled in the heat of the fray, and many a sailor showed the potential ability of a movie actor by "biting the dust" with a consumate reality of the battle scenes in "What Price Glory."

Pausing long enough to understand thoroughly, he rode softly off to the next cabin, learned Mrs. McGuffey's name, rode back, answered her prayer...
...Both of these substances are less expensive than ordinary window glass, but the Flex-O-Glass does not withstand the onslaught of the weather as well as does the Cel-O-Glass. The waxy coating of the Flex-O-Glass has a tendency to soften in hot sunshine, and dust may then adhere which is not easily washed off. This material is primarily intended, however, for use in animal husbandry to provide protection in winter. During the hot summer months it may be removed and in the fall reinstalled...
