...cars to local plants, where it will be carburated. Thus communities to which pipe lines do not at present extend will none the less be prospects for natural gas service. The liquefying process is not aimed, however, at superseding pipe lines, but rather as an accessory form of distribution. Liquid natural gas will be distributed by Natural Gas Corporations of California, Oregon and Washington, all subsidiaries of Pacific Public Service Co. which is in turn a subsidiary of Standard of California. The development of liquid distribution of natural gas will, of course, bring natural gas to many communities too small...

It seems rather sad that such vast organization should be required before the shrinking bud can be successfully plucked. It seems almost tragic that the personal element should be lost in the giant network of the matrimonial market...
Durium is the recent invention of Dr. Hal Trueman Beans, Professor of Chemistry at Columbia University. It is a synthetic resin, somewhat like bakelite.

Leisure and its cultural by-products are first to go. His ruthlessness compels awe but defeats friendship-when the liquid, lovely costume of his wife is much admired by guests, he exclaims: "I made her buy it!" At length his boasted gift of prophecy fails and while the newsboys hawk the story of his downfall, his wife comes to him, offering her humble adoration to meet the new humility which...
