...stated in the text. Last year the reminiscences of Mabel Dodge Luhan (European Experiences) and Elizabeth Drexel Lehr ("King Lehr" and the Gilded Age) were prime examples of such oblique candor. Although both authors revealed an intermittent circumspection, both were sufficiently engrossed in telling their own stories to make indirect admissions of which they appeared to be unaware. Cut in the same pattern as those books, The Countess from Iowa is nevertheless much less interesting, much more guarded, offers little spur to the imagination...
Manufactured by General Motors, the new busses are chiefly notable in having their motors in the rear. This allows the driver to sit far forward, gives more room, makes the busses look almost the same at each end. They carry 36 passengers, three more than before, have roomier seats, indirect lighting.

Industries which will benefit most are clothing, building, radio, refrigerators, electric appliances, automobiles...
...Ship Subsidy, substituting a forthright system of direct subsidies to shippers for the current indirect and unsavory system of padded ocean-mail contracts. To expand the U. S. merchant marine, the Government will pay up to half the cost of building a ship, lend the operator half of the remainder, pay him an operating subsidy based on the difference between U. S. and foreign costs...
