...dumping-"and how!" (a phrase popularized abroad by U. S. talkies). The European impulse was to call Mr. McKelvie a hypocrite when he said that under Federal Farm Board aegis the 275 million surplus bushels of U.

His qualifications, personal rather than technical, are partly the result of a respectable upbringing in Beacon, N. Y., partly of a long neck which causes his head to incline in a quizzical fashion.

Prices and customers at first were all Mrs. Brown could...

Young men of today stand with much more lofty northwestern exposures than did the mossy and hirsute stumps of their fathers, and the young women have decided to be as brief as fashion allows, yielding no increase in those measurements which, in days not long past, were the very foundation of the bustle...
