...Atlanta run (TIME, Oct. 15, 1933). Only other U. S. airline to try the service since has been American, which started it with Condors between Los Angeles and Dallas in April 1934, found it popular (TIME, July 16, 1934). This service, no longer necessary, was discontinued last week. Other long-run airlines will probably put on service like American's new one as soon as their Douglas DST's are delivered...
...show their full import, Researcher Rhine hauled out the mathematics of probability. A subject practicing clairvoyance gets, for example, 7 or 8 hits out of 25 tries. As a gambler knows, the law of averages does not preclude such a score once in a while although the long-run average will be 5 in 25. But suppose the clairvoyant maintains an average of 7.5 hits per 25 tries through 40 runs of 25 cards each?1,000 trials in all. The odds against such a performance resulting from chances are better than...
...possibilities of their measures, or, on the other hand, filled with the shining vision of the Kremlin as God's beacon in a benighted world.

(according to the Department of Labor's commodity price index) to citizens who used it to buy what they needed in the U. S. The only person...
...doing almost irreparable damage to the financial and industrial systems. To be sure, the relapse does not occur immediately. But because of this tendency to sacrifice the future for the present, actual historical inflation has been disastrous wherever tried; the financing of the World War, which resulted in great long-run damage despite immediate benefits, is a good example of this. The certainty that uncontrolled inflation would only add to the already deranged condition of the foreign exchange, upon the stability of which depends in large measure the economic recovery of the world, is another strong reason for the rigid...
