...Brooks House pursuit of a mental healer for the distressed Yardlings has its parallel in the currents of life outside the academic fold. The greatly increasing quantities of nervous disorders occurring in our megalopolitan civilization, which was first noticed about 1820 with the final crystallization of the industrial society, have illumined the lack of adequate facilities for treating and especially for diagnosing the maladjusted. Of the cases that now come to the doctors, apparently requiring even surgical treatment, the number that can be found wholly mental in origin is only beginning to be appreciated. And for the first time...
...German translation of Balmont's Russian translation. Though the poem had grown worse in its travels, nobody seemed to care. The audience was thrilled by Rachmaninoff's ingenious sonorities, by the whispering pianissimi and loud thundering of the University of Pennsylvania chorus, by the shivering of parallel fifths in the high winds. Critics found The Bells an effective piece of scoring, mourned its unevenness.

Many states beside Illinois and California have price-maintenance laws, and in those which do not enormous pressure will be brought to have parallel legislation enacted. Only possible obstacles now are state constitutions. A New York law identical with Illinois' was disallowed by state Courts on state constitutional grounds this year...
...Parallel to Walter Briggs's rise in Detroit baseball have been his fortunes in the manufacture of automobile bodies. The same year he was lucky in getting World Series tickets he joined B. F. Everitt Co., pioneer auto trimmer. When Owner Barney Everitt and two friends started the E. M. F. Co. (motor cars), Mr. Everitt did not think it altogether ethical to run a competing business of his own, so he made a deal with his able employe, Walter Briggs, to take over the trimming plant, which was soon called Briggs Mfg. Co. It went on painting...
