...procedure, pays all bills, arranges speaking programs, allots expenses on a pro-rata basis. Aspirants speak seriatim the same night in the same place, a method obviously conducive to personalities and retorts discourteous. In this "joint debate" system the old-style ranters of the Dial-Blease ilk rave, rage, fume, spume, howl- over imaginary issues. Under these conditions Washington really expects long-haired sombreroed political buffoons-and that is just what Washington sometimes gets, although Senator Smith is a happy exception...

If there is anything an editor hates to do it is to give something for nothing, that is, empty space for heavy camouflage that should (he feels) be paid for at advertising rates.

If the Ethyl proves a treasure ship, a bromine fleet may soon follow her to sea. The experiment may also open a rich field in other ocean extracts?for instance, iodine...
...eminent statistician some time ago announced that the United States could not run more than twenty million motor cars. For more than that number there would be no money, no gas, no room, and no need. The increasing number of fume-emitting motors, according to public health officials, has made the Americans a race of blood-poisoned nervous wrecks. The nation is already half saturated with cars, and last month more were made than in any previous month. What dauntless courage is fostered in Detroit to assert that every man, woman, child, and college student will throw away their...
