...End product of lifelong tinkering by Powel Crosley with lightweight automobiles, the new car has an 80-inch wheelbase, 40-inch tread, a two-cylinder, air-cooled engine which gives it a high speed of 50 miles an hour, and runs 50 to 60 miles on a gallon of gasoline. Two quarts of oil fill its crankcase, four gallons of gas its fuel tank. At $325 for the coupe, $25 more for the sedan, it will undersell by $62 the only other U. S. midget on the automotive market, the American Bantam...
Submarine Canyons. Modern methods of exploring the ocean bottom by echo-sounding have disclosed several huge undersea canyons. One of these submerged gorges, lying off the Hudson River's mouth, is 130 miles long and its lower end lies under 7,500 ft. of Atlantic Ocean. One theory has it that submarine canyons were cut during the Glacial Age by surface rivers. This could have occurred only if the sea level was then nearly two miles lower than it is now - a presumption difficult to account for, even allowing for water drawn into the great Glacial Age ice sheets...
...their anticipations is the fact that at the end of the quarter which showed this 110% increase in earnings, stock prices were unsteady and only 33% up from the same date a year ago.

Steel will invest $25,000,000 against $67,000,000 in "the major depression year...
...continuous hot and cold strip mill (not yet operating) sold it by United and Mesta Machine. But it has no way, except by U. S. purchase, of replacing any parts in this continuous mill or of building another. In theory, its new purchase from United will end some of these deficiencies. Actually Japan will still depend upon the U. S. for tailor-made ball bearings and high-grade forgings which are beyond Japanese imitative technology. In this country the Wooster plant could turn out $3,500,000 worth of machinery a year. Asked what its Japanese capacity would be. President...
Dartmouth's Varsity baseball team came through with three booming hits off Tom Bealey in the pinches at Hanover Saturday afternoon, while the Crimson left runner after runner stranded on the sacks thus shoving Floyd Stahl's nine into second place in the E. I. L. on the short end of a 5 to 3 count...
