...objects to the fact that a dozen or more small chemical companies have sprouted up to sell nutrient salts to amateurs or professionals experimenting with hydroponics. These have names like Chemi-Grow, Chemi-Crop Co., Shur-Gro Fertilizer Corp. They are legally within their rights, since hydroponics cannot be patented. The only patent which Dr. Gericke holds is for a container to diffuse the chemicals through the solution. But he argues, against the companies, that no formula works well for all plants, all climates, all conditions: and that even if they made a great variety of formulae there are other...
...Childs of Manhattan's City Club invited William Pickens, field secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and a Yale Phi Beta Kappa key holder to join.

"Thus Her Tale" tells of a suicide's ghost that still haunts her undiscovered bones, hidden in a thicket. In "The Owl," a baker's wife and daughter are shamed and frightened out of their wits and into their true selves by the silent gaze...
...flag. Fortnight ago Chileans again elected him President (TIME, Nov. 7). Last week Santiago police had to fire machine gun bullets over the heads of a mob which wished to reject President-Elect Alessandri and raised deafening cheers for the defeated candidate, part-Irish Col. Marmaduke Grove (pronounced Gro-vay). With all Chile tense, wondering whether Col.
