Since the large size of the course and the general mediocrity of the section men prohibits organization of the course on the model of French 6, in which fairly small classes meet under competent men three times a week, the obvious way to get rid of the ungainly professorial chorines participating in the revue is to entrust the course to one interested man, who would give at least two, perhaps three lectures a week throughout the year. Only in this way can the unity and coherence so necessary and so lacking now be gained. A comparable system gives excellent results...
...marriage of Consuelo Vanderbilt to the Duke of Marlborough the same year. In Chicago she succeeded Mrs. Potter Palmer as social arbiter, gave vast and lavish parties, backed the Chicago opera for years before Insull. She used to buy dresses six at a time, all the same model. She thought nothing of spending $25,000 for roses to bower her ballroom. Suffering from a nervous disorder in 1912, she met Psychiatrist Carl Jung in Manhattan, followed him with her family to Zurich where she lived as his pupil and assistant for eight years. Returning to Chicago in 1921, she picked...
...Automobile is longer, roomier, sleeker, faster and, with a few exceptions, it is more expensive (5% to 10% above last year). Nearly every model has felt the hand of the aerodynamics engineer. The mechanical benefits of streamlining-higher speed (against reduced air resistance) at less cost-have led every motormaker directly to the practical problem of increased riding comfort. The new streamlined car had to offer smoother transportation at 70 m.p.h. than the old high-bodied model did at 50 m.p.h. This necessity resulted in the major mechanical innovation of the year-independent front wheel suspension. Heretofore front springs...
Cars for the Classes. If cars for the masses are bread & butter to the Industry, cars for the classes represent the cream of the machine age. Polished instruments of beauty and precision, the high-priced models always draw the most pop-eyed crowds. Pierce-Arrow last year exhibited a special fully streamlined model called "Silver Arrow." This year nearly all Pierce-Arrows are Silver Arrows-in varying degrees. In its line of eights and two lines of twelves are models for every taste in streamlining, as well as strictly conventional models for the strictly conventional...
Graham introduced a supercharger with its de luxe eights-first medium-priced model so equipped. Effecting economy at high speeds, the supercharger raises the point of fastest acceleration from around 25 m.p.h. to 45 m.p.h...
