Founded in 1910 by three Brothers Salomon, of whom two?Percy and Herbert?are still alive and at the head of the firm, Salomon Brothers & Hutzler has always been known largely as a dealer in Governments, municipals, high-grade corporate bonds, bankers acceptances, short-term paper. Because the late Arthur Salomon originally hoped to model his firm on the big London discount houses, advertisements are always signed "The Discount House of Salomon Brothers & Hutzler," though the term is almost meaningless today. Its bond and paper business keeps it in constant touch with banks and institutions, and the Socony issue...
Somewhere Juniors are talking: For a man who really wants to accomplish things Harvard's the place. Best men in the country here. Too bad we all can't make the top grade. Yet, you know, my tutor says I've still a chance. Two more years is a long time. After next week-end I'm on the books to stay...
...contribute not one surprise but two to the Toronto race. This time, partly because the water was about 20° warmer than usual (74°) and partly because the race had been shortened from 15 mi. to five, Swimmer Gambi not only finished but won, against 90 high-grade professionals, in the excellent time of 2 hr., 8 min., 55 sec. Hauled onto a float and wrapped in a towel, he shouted into a microphone: "I am happy to have won for Italy and Il Duce!" A crowd of 10,000 immediately stopped cheering and began to boo so loudly...
...natural gas ("casing-head process"), later by distillation of crude oil ("cracking"), finally by hydrogenation. The Phillips process was polymerization-formation of heavy molecules from light ones with heat, pressure, catalysts (chemical activators). By this method lightweight derivatives formerly wasted or diverted to by-products are made into high-grade fuel. Trade papers pointed out that if all gaseous hydrocarbons produced in cracking were utilized by the Phillips patented process, the extra gasoline output would be about 1,000,000,000 gal. per year...
...will depend on Harlow's ability to develop this young material, such men as George Ford, Leo Ecker, Tommy Bilodeau, Emile Dubiel, and Arthur Oakes. All of these men have shown something on Freshman or last year's Varsity teams, but none are really finished, Grade A, foll-time players as yet. Ford didn't reach his peak until the Yale game last season and Bilodeau has never quite shown the super-performance of which he seems to be capable...
