...impression, which a reader of the CRIMSON might gather, can be illustrated by a quotation of a paragraph from the CRIMSON editorial. "Daily the University is the scene of happenings which affect the outside world. It is false modesty to pretend that the discoveries of Harvard scientists are not of interest to outsiders, that the plans of the oldest and richest university in the country are of no import except to the handful of men who are charged with administering her affairs...
Safety. Inherent stability is what every exhibitor claimed for his plane. Only a Department of Commerce certificate warrants confidence in such claims. Most craft at Detroit last week did have such certification. As a safety factor practically every plane carried a stabilizing apparatus which might be fixed to prevent it from suddenly going into stall, tail spin, or nose dive. Otto W. Greene, gaunt Elyria, Ohio, inventor, showed an aero-dynamic automatic control. It consisted of a small vane projected from a wing of his model plane. As the plane tilted or teetered the vane lagged and activated levers which...
...more than minimum the Fatherland must pay. This surplus above the Allied needs for repayment to the U.

Output of various companies will be pro-rated by five regional committees; restriction is apparently on a voluntary "gentlemen's agreement" basis. Had the U. S. oilmen been European oilmen, they might have drawn up a very solemn legal compact involving fines for overproduction and compensation for underproduction. But despite the fact that President Coolidge in 1924 appointed a Federal Oil Conservation Board which consistently recommended co-operation within the oil industry as a cure for over production, the U. S. tycoon...
