...term certificates are issued on the quarterly tax-payment days. The present system has these defects, as explained by Secretary Mellon: 1) Money is borrowed in advance of actual needs with a consequent loss of interest; 2) The Treasury must give the certificates, which it sells at par, as low an interest rate as possible, yet high enough to meet momentary conditions of the money market. This involves difficult guesswork...
...lapsed oil leases (TIME, March 25). This official step encouraged the oil industry, as represented by the American Petroleum Institute, to believe that it had a friend in the White House who would smile upon its own efforts to hold down production. Confronted with an enormous output and low prices, operators agreed among themselves to plug their production for 1929 at the 1928 level. They asked the Federal Oil Conservation Board to sanction this agreement. Attorney-General Mitchell ruled that such an agreement among the producers of oil would probably violate the anti-trust laws...
...strangest experiences that the crew of the Los Angeles ever had was when, last September, as the ship sailed low over Layton, N.

The prevailing tones are gold and brown, although the background of blue sky and sea and the splash of color in the flag and the Phrygian cap of the painting of the Coming of the Americans give the dash and variety needed to enliven the color scheme. The general effect, therefore, is not unlike that of a fresco and is, for this reason particularly happy from the decorative point of view. The adoption of a palette of browns and golds, high in value, but low in intensity, harmonizes perfectly with the brownish...
...Haven, Conn., June 5--Sidney B. Kieselhorst, 1930, of St. Louis, Mo., was elected captain of the University track team at a meeting today. Kieselhorst, who prepared at Andover, runs the 100 and the low hurdles. In the latter event he won his second consecutive Intercollegiate title on Saturday at Philadelphia. In this event he set a new record at 23, 3-10 seconds, but the mark was not allowed to stand on account of a favoring wind...
