...that wage increases will eventually raise costs, but I ask that managements give first consideration to the improvement of operating figures by greatly increased sales to be expected from the rising purchasing power of the public. That is good economics and good business. . . . If we now inflate prices as fast and as far as we increase wages the whole project will be set at naught. . . .

When Donald tried to imitate her in this form of walking, he, being taller, kept bumping his father behind. Gua, while walking thus, kept perfect step with Professor Kellogg, unless he went too fast.

First to congratulate Pilot Doolittle was a South Bend foot doctor named Cloyd Lawrence...
...autogiro can climb steeply, land nearly straight down, fly more slowly than a man can run. But it cannot fly fast. The ungainly ''windmill" rotor which accounts for the 'giro's virtues has kept its cruising speed well under 100 m.p.h. Last week New York University announced that its Daniel Guggenheim School of Aeronautics would undertake 'giro speed as a special problem, with funds provided by Harold F. Pitcairn, president of Autogiro Co. of America, U. S. developer of the Cierva invention. Under direction of famed Professor Alexander Klemin, the rotor problem will be tackled...
