Henry Ford continued to stay in the nation's headlines by doing nothing at all last week. As a "rugged individualist" he persisted in holding out against "robust collectivism" in the form of the NRA automobile code.

Dr. Merrill, who is director-in-chief of the New York Botanical Garden, called attention to the fact that native trees of eastern Asia and eastern North America are closely related.*Reason: geological and climatic changes affected both regions at about the same time throughout...
More than a week passed before a lineman discovered the last missing team between Sudbury and Abitibi Canyon in Northern Ontario. Grounded in a thunderstorm about 550 mi. from the start, Balloonists Trotter & Van Orman had plunged through the bush until they stumbled on power lines of Ontario Hydro-Electric Co.
