...followers, on stern advice from Washington, resigned. Next Liberia, under President Edwin Barclay, defaulted on its loan of $2,250,000 from Harvey Firestone. In 1925 when rubber was $1 per Ib. the State Department had encouraged Mr. Firestone to start a huge rubber plantation in Liberia and lend the African Republic money to pay off its European and other debts. Mr. Firestone planted 55,000 acres of rubber trees, built 100 miles of road (five times as much as Liberia had ever had before), hired thousands of natives at 25? a week, gave Liberia a brief boom. Then with...
Unhappy Wives dislike being watched. They find their advice is seldom asked. They prefer easy jobs to hard jobs, get to work late, neglect details, are careless with their belongings. They incline to daydream, have "useless thoughts," feel inferior, have dizzy spells, regard themselves as nervous. They dislike to lend money or give help in an accident.

Penalty for failure to pay was fixed by the Banking Act at one year in jail, $5,000 fine...

Beaming on this venture in self-education, high-school officials furnished a schoolroom for weekly meetings, appointed a faculty adviser. Automotive manufacturers send lecturers, catalogs, publicity handouts, occasionally lend an automobile. Most obliging has been the Oldsmobile plant in nearby Lansing. Last week the Royal Lions' president smashed a pop bottle on the radiator of the club's car-of-the-year: an Oldsmobile...
...problem which is not within the province of the Council because it is not a matter of policy; the improvement of the system of Freshman advisers. Not only are many of the men now serving as advisers unacquainted with the workings of the various courses and hence incompetent to lend counsel to incoming Freshmen, but they are often completely indifferent toward their jobs. The fault lies chiefly with the system, not with the men. A better selection, on the grounds of interest and knowledge should be made, and greater incentive in the way of financial reimbursement offered. In matters pertaining...
