...long view of all this was last week presented by the Smithsonian Institution's Secretary Charles Greeley Abbot. Said he: "The North Central States can expect no appreciable letup in the Drought before 1938. A rain cycle is indicated by records of the water levels of the Great Lakes since 1837. . . . The cycle in the North Central farming and grazing zone has a 46-year swing, which is double the cycle for most areas on the globe. After this Drought there should not be another major dry period in the area until somewhere around...

The driver must be externally restrained from killing himself. Against the overwhelming U. S. urge to go places fast, the idea of speed governors for automobiles has made no progress. Even if it did, it would do little good, for only 9% of all accidents are directly attributable to speeds of 50 m.p.h. or more. Structurally...
