...annual report which the officers of the American Medical Association submitted to their 101,754 members last week demonstrated that that high-minded body is a profitable publishing concern.

The A. M. A. also operates a co-operative medical advertising bureau for 32 State medical journals...

Tall, dark Howard Ketcham, 33, began his color career in an advertising agency, joined the automotive paint division of du Pont de Nemours & Co.. reduced 13,000 body colors to the 600 listed in the Automotive Color Index.

Retail merchandise deliveries in the New York metropolitan area, comprising at least one-tenth of the total U. S. retail market, were up 10% for the first two weeks of this month. Except...
When the Houses were first instituted the meal rate was $10, the index number for food prices, well over 100. When the index dropped to 89.7 in 1933 the meal rate dropped correspondingly to $8.50. With the food index this year at 123.9 it is only natural that the dining hall charges must take corresponding upswing. To the student who must dig into his pockets for an extra $27 next year the change is an unquestioned annoyance; the figures, however, should be sufficient evidence to silence any rumbling suspicion that he is being robbed...
