...council reported 17,200 deaths from motor accidents for the first six months of 1937, an increase of 2,040 (13%) over the corresponding period last year. Since vehicle mileage increased about 10%, however, the death rate per car mile was up only 3%. Deaths in June were down to 2,860 as against 2,905 for June 1936.

...advertising pie for the first six months of 1937 was statistically cut up in Printers' Ink last week. As a pie, the amount spent by advertisers (with at least $50,000 annual appropriations) on radio, magazines and farm journals, was 20% bigger than last year for the same period.

Advertisers divided their money thus: $66,478,000 to magazines (16% increase) $34,232,000 to radio (32% increase), $5,512,000 to farm publications (14% increase...

For American Rolling Mill, whose name is not among the 260 steel companies in the C. I. O. fold, the six-month period was the best in its history-$6,600,000, more than the figure for the entire year 1929. Ernest Tener Weir's National Steel made $11,700,000 in the first half, double its earnings for the same six months of 1936. And Steelman Weir is so thoroughly anti...
...Louis and Peter are arrested in an opium den, involved in a scandal that cannot be laughed off. Peter dies in a sanitarium while Bianca, who has tried to save him, and Louis, who let him go down, are at his bedside. They separate, Bianca to go through a period of mild dissipation with the Galère, Louis a season of belated sobriety. Bianca can love a man "enough to be jealous of other women, but never enough to marry him." When she meets the changed Louis after a few years, she knows why. They start life together...
