...period, Deputy de la Ferronnais, Nationalist, was ordered to leave the Chamber. He refused. Chamber President Paul Painlevé called in a small detachment of the Garde Républicaine, M. de la Ferronnais stood firm in the minute of silence that stood out like an oasis in a limitless desert. The officer of the Garde began "Au nom de la loi . . ." Mr. Ferronnais thought better of his position, seized the officer's hand in a hearty handshake, walked out of the Chamber...
...Saturday Evening Post for March 21 appears another article by "The Old Dog", carrying on the attack begun last October against Harvard's educational system. The rush of college life, the limitless capacity of professors to assign impossible tasks, and the apparent "cleverness" of Harvard youth to match their wits against those of the professors and win--it is all too much for "The Old Dog"!

The speculation in Radio shares is obviously prompted by the apparently limitless future of the new industry. Sales of radio sets and parts have increased from $2,000,000 in 1920 to $400,000,000 in 1924, and the "saturation point" is still apparently far away. The radio industry appeals to the average American's imagination, and how far it will...
