...evidence as presented by Dr. Beltz: a laboratory test indicated pregnancy last March 24. The date of Mrs. Hunter's last menstrual period was Feb. 10. Everything proceeded as usual for three months. Then there was "apparent cessation of growth," until at six months Mrs. Hunter felt life for the first time. (Normal time for this: 16th to 18th week.) Fetal heartbeat was first detected in September. (Normal time for this would have been July...
Hearst is making money again. The greatest vegetable growth in publishing history-which William Randolph Hearst watered with his father's fortune, wrapped in his country's flag and dunged with an unerring taste for the lowest vulgar denominator-is once more full of sap, and blossoming with green and glossy banknotes. Soon the "Hearst empire" expects to be out of hock. From Maine to California last week came the evidence...
Inevitable Growth. Even the independents are ready to admit that this control, which extends to vast chains of theaters all over the U.S., was an inevitable outcome of the growth of. the movies.

...coops, unlike consumer coops, have become big business, but without big business' tax liabilities. The ''profits" of co-ops - i.e., moneys kept in the till for expansion instead of being returned to members - are taxfree. But repeal of Section 101 (12) would not stop co-op growth, because cash rebates to co op members, and "profits" withheld, if allocated proportionately on the books, would still be taxexempt. Partial relief for private business could be achieved by taxing co-op "profits" unless paid out in cash. But big cooperatives could find money for expansion in other ways...
