Prices & Consumers. Concerning itself chiefly with the paramount issues of wages and re-employment, the I. R. A. had failed to lay down specifications on intra-industry price-fixing, a vital factor to competing producers as well as to consumers. To clear up that Pineapple No. 2 General Johnson announced: "In these codes it will be proper for an industry to say it will not sell below cost of production. But if they use the code to fix extortionate prices. I should have to step in. . . ." Administrator Johnson hoped that industries would keep prices in the background "for at least...
...consistent accuracy of Nicholas, however, the flashy leadership of Davis, and the aggressive cooperation of Benson and Johnson, together with the slightly superior Harvard mounts, will make things tough for the Princeton riders.

The S. B.-Rolls-Royce ship which won the last Schneider Trophy for Great Britain landed at about 90 m. p. h. At Orbetello, 60 mi. from Rome, 100 aviators are being drilled, trained and watched like crack athletes at the Scuola di Navigazione...
Aside from a little difficulty in catching on to the rhythmic lilt and the brogue of the dialogue, easily anticipated by reading the play in question, the factor which may evoke difficulty is the seeming lack of patriotism, shown by their absence, of Boston's political corps. Incidentally, seeing a performance or so of the Abbey players is a fine way of attaining atmosphere for that examination in Comparative Literature...
