Twenty-four students of the Bureau for Street Traffic Research have been conducting a count of the volume and variety of traffic in the Yard and in the Harvard Square vicinity. A map showing the results of the count together with a report will be available Monday...
...Garden and Kirkland Streets, M. A. Kraft research assistant for the Bureau, revealed yesterday. The numbers of vehicles reported on each street from 7:00 o'clock in the morning to 7:00 o'clock in the evening are being tabulated in a large diagram called a "flow map." Eight feet square, the flow map indicates the volume of traffic on any street by the width of that street on the map. Hence, on a preliminary scale drawing of the map, Massachusetts Avenue was drawn at least five times as wide as Holyoke Street...

...meteorologist, who was a stockbroker's assistant and once a piano accompanist, predicted last September that Southern California was in for a cold, wet winter. He believes that, although the boundaries between cold and warm air masses are constantly shifting, they tend to keep average positions on the map which he calls "semipermanent boundaries." One of these lies east of the Rockies, separating cold air on the east from warm air on the coast. Last year this boundary moved west until it was out in the Pacific Ocean, letting cold air flow over California. Incidentally, last summer it also...

After leaving Westminster Abbey the King will be wearing the Imperial State Crown. Other members of the Royal Family will be in open landaus or limousines as will foreign Crown Princes, Special Envoys, Ambassadors. Necessarily the Procession is all that the public can possibly be shown, for the Coronation must take place inside the Abbey. About 15,000 subjects of the King have...
