...soap or in European margarine. So in 1931-32 most of the Antarctic companies declared a whaling holiday and production dropped to 775,000 bbl. In the season just closed production was some 2,400,000 barrels worth about $26,000,000. But some 1,800,000 bbl. still overhang the market and another holiday next year is by no means improbable. Only British whaling company with publicly owned stock is Anglo-Norwegian Holdings. Ltd. which was organized in 1929 and which earned $542,000 in 1930, $60,300 last year.

Little by little, as his body rots, an odor pervades it, more deathly and infinitely more revolting than that of the carnal house; the bones...
...scooped the rock and lived within it. Clothing and architecture developed together like concentric cortices of a springing rod. Architecture is the outer whorl; its fashions make their impress on clothes, the inner. Tailors snip and snip, masons slap on their lime; steeples and toppers affront the sky, eaves overhang, tails droop decorously down. Ingeniously, out of a wide scholarship, Author Heard traces the homologous development of caps and cathedrals, mitres and mosques-15,000 years in a book of 150 pages that scholars will find an interesting tour-de-force, men of letters a most scholarly little tract...
...more cheerful view of business now taken is still gravely tempered with caution. The impending German collapse, the agricultural depression and the likelihood of radical and deeply harmful legislation in Washington next winter continue to heavily overhang the markets...
