Humbler Moscow folks had a party too last week. The first seven miles of the first subway in Russia opened for business with three days of free rides for the Tovarishchi who helped build it. Driven through quicksand and swampy ground in two years of furious if ill-directed digging, largely by volunteer workmen, there are many things about Moscow's new subway to cause serious engineers to shake their heads, but it easily lives up to its motto: "The most beautiful subway in the world." Built, in the words of Transport Commissar Kaganovich, "to show people what...

And that fact has given rise to the greatest public power enterprise in the capitalist world-the Ontario Hydro-Electric Power Commission.

...advertising manager's own statement, the Ledger lost 15 of its fattest accounts, suffered deep cuts in many another.

Weber's time switch failed to work. Scarcely had 10 o'clock struck before the street was full of furious Nazis. They smashed Weber's window and his lights, then sloshed buckets of black paint over his dainty dress goods, daubed the whole shop and made matclhwood of the counters. "When you consider," said a spokesman for the Ministry of Propaganda & Public Enlightenment next morning, "that in the entire city of Berlin only this Jew, this unspeakable Weber, had to be dealt with, the vast obscuration maneuvers can be called an entire success...
