There has been a hiatus in the meteo-ological courses, none of which are being given due to the lack of a suitable instructor. Professor Brooks of the Blue Hill Observatory only conducts graduate courses. Until some are reopened to Undergraduates a reciprocal agreement allows them to take courses at M. I. T., which are likely, however, to prove pretty technical for them...
...usual two days to include a third called "Labor Day," the manufacturers turned many an unfamiliar stone in their search for enlightenment.

(beds), to break down the conservative tradition of Grand Rapids merchandising. This was a tradition of virtual subservience to dealers. Beginning with the first Berkey Grand Rapids furniture show in 1878, buyers from widely different localities had been allowed endless caprice. People in the U.
