...facilities, the Square tries to serve two purposes--a shopping center for students and a transfer station for in-town travellers. Twelve thousand outsiders shift El cars every day. Six hundred busses carry thirty thousand passengers in, out, and through the dilemma. A paltry nine thousand scholars wander and mill about for eight hours a day. Then there's the pleasure traffic, trolleys, trucks and taxis. Thus the problem centers around two cureable factors--the great number of busses and the great space absorbed by the subway kiosk in the middle...
NEWS AND NEW RELEASES. Joe Sullivan will be in Providence Sunday. He's one of the great pianists that brought jazz out of Chicago in the twenties.

Engineer Herman Alexander Brassert, he built a smelter, a rolling mill, a canal over ten miles long, houses for 150,000 workmen. Then, like a geyser, the Göring Works shot up into a vertical trust, overflowed in every direction: into coal fields in Upper Silesia, gravel pits, quarries, lignite mines east of the Elbe, lime deposits in Bavaria, refractory...
...only the beginning of Cash's analysis, but it is the basis for all that follows. With great pity and firmness, he analyzes how bitterly those traits and patterns were intensified under the hell of Reconstruction; in what anger, hope and innocence the great wave of cotton mills rose up; how the mill hands were exploited in the name of patriotism and progress; how these iron plantations perpetuated the ancient pre-War patterns of the soil...
