Your request for an accurate description of the Merkle play just received upon my return from Boston, and I hesitate to write or even refer to this play, as every time it is brought forward it hurts a real fellow and a smart one, Fred Merkle.- However, there have been so many different accounts of this play maybe the public is entitled to some truth in the matter, for after all they pay the freight...
While the Senate pothered over future crop production (see above), in other quarters of the capital the more realistic and troublesome problem of last year's wheat crop came forward and was met with a temporary solution. The 1928 crop was a bumper, close to 900 million bushels. On March 1, there still remained 355,563,000 bushels undisposed of, bulging in elevators and farm bins. It was the largest surplus since 1919, To make matters worse, the 1929 crop promises to surpass 1928's to run well above the 900 million bushel mark...
...Council on Pharmacy and Chemistry in striking from its list of "new and nonofficial remedies" a number of ergot preparations (important to women) believed to contain "putrefactive amines."

Without such relief the significant research projects of the department can not go forward unhampered by crowded quarters and inadequate equipment. Nor can the general undergraduate instruction program meet the increasing needs of the day with material equipment several decades behind the times...
...angle with the ground, air, which must stream sucking over the wings to support them, cannot reach enough wing surface to do its work. Consequently the plane loses flying speed. It stalls. Then it drops. The Handley Page wing contains a long narrow auxiliary wing set in its forward edge. When the main wing reaches the stalling angle, the auxiliary flaps up and suddenly presents a new surface to the wind. The wind also rushes through the space between the auxiliary and main wings. The result is that the plane is simultaneously supported at its sharp angle and thrust toward...
