...Boda, of French West Africa, it seemed to have reached new heights. Deputies of France's new Assembly, meeting for the first time last week, stood around on the floor of the Chamber uneasily discussing the Senator's fate. Rumor had it that the Senator had been eaten by his constituents...
...Miss Carson's biography of the surface waters. Here is the snake-mackerel, up from the depths, first seen in living form by the Kon-Tiki expedition; here the uncountable creatures called plankton, a community of minute animals and plants. In the ocean food cycle, plankton is eaten by such small fish as the herring, small fish by larger ones like the tuna, larger ones by squids, and all of these by whales. To survive, sea creatures assume remarkable disguises: the Sargasso Sea slug has a soft, shapeless body, exactly like the vegetation in which it lives; another fish...
This kind of advice was being given to frequent callers last week by the Oregon Journal's cooking expert, Mary Cullen. Horsemeat, hitherto eaten as a stunt or only as a last resort, was becoming an important item on Portland tables. Now there were three times as many horse butchers, selling three times as much meat. In the Portland markets, horse sirloins are 35? a pound, while beef is $1.14; horse tenderloins 45?, compared to $1.95-$2.15 for beef.

At war's end, the trustbusters took Mother Hubbard out of the cupboard again. They found that the case was moth-eaten: facts & figures of the indictment, which had taken twelve years to collect, were all out of date. Instead of patching up the case, the Justice Department went out hunting individual oil companies, such as Standard Oil Co. of California, Sun Oil Co., and Richfield Oil Corp. Last week Attorney General J. Howard...
...Bulge. Rearmament's demands had also perked up many an industry, notably aluminum. Reynolds Metals net jumped from $1,454,257 to $5,696,031, a 300% rise. Big American Woolen Co., which has either a feast or a famine, watched its profits soar from a moth-eaten $230,000 to $1,095,000. And the once-sputtering airlines were purring like jets: American turned a $1,331,285 loss into a $2,914,610 profit. The building boom, nipped by restrictions on private housing, had merely shifted its base to the bigger boom of expanding defense production...
