...former pumpers. To his amazement, he was flooded by enthusiastic letters. Pumper Affleck wrote first, enclosing a check for 35?-his weekly stipend at pumping-as proposed membership fee. U. S. Senator James Couzens demanded to join; for two years he had pumped at the Presbyterian Church of Chatham, Ont. for $5 a year. Third charter member was Julius Rosenwald (now Grand Quint of the Chicago Loft) who shrewdly earned 25? a Sunday for labor at the First Presbyterian Church of Springfield, Ill. (not at the temple attended by his parents). At last year's meeting of the Chicago...

Detroit Bridge Default. Little more than a year old, valued at $13,892,000 is the Detroit International Bridge between Detroit and Sandwich, Ont. Last week not the bridge but the company of the same name which owns it began to sway dangerously. Business depression has caused traffic to fall off. Competing ferries have cut their rates viciously rather than go out of business. Traffic has been diverted into the new Detroit-Canada Tunnel. During 1930 toll revenue was $892,000, operating expenses?$328,000. But by the time all charges were computed the bridge company...
