...Provost to conduct the faculty's business with the Administration, established a single board of admissions and a common freshman year, with a separate freshman faculty, for "Sheff" and "Ac." Simple and sensible though these reforms seemed to outsiders, they cut deep into Yale's vital fabric of traditions, left a mass of supersensitive and unsutured ganglions.

Cotton. Nearly 1,000 miles of cotton-reinforced asphalt road will be laid in the U. S. this summer in a demonstration backed by the Federal Government. Asphalt-with-cotton needs less maintenance than ordinary bituminous road surfacing, the fabric preventing cracking, water seepage, minimizing heaving when frost comes out of the ground. Eight to ten bales of cotton are required for each mile of road. If all bituminous resurfacing were done with cotton, a market for some 400,000 bales would be provided annually.

Huge Daimler Benz V-8's made of a secret, lightweight alloy, they occupy four gondolas placed far back on the hull, leave a feathery wake of smoke as they shove the ship ahead at a maximum of 85 m.p.h.

Historical fabric of We Are From Kronstadt is woven from the unsuccessful opera tions of White General Yudenich around Petrograd in the embattled autumn of 1919, when the sailors from Kronstadt in time's nick reinforced workers' battalions and Red Army detachments defending the old capital.
