...urging, through paid magazine advertisements, industries to locate within their corporate limits, Atlanta, Ga., last week was the most jubilant. The Chevrolet Motor Co. had decided to construct a $2,500,000 branch assembly plant in Atlanta;* and Chevrolet President William S. Knudsen had addressed an eminently quotable phrase to the Atlanta Industrial Bureau: "A plant in your city became not only a possibility, but a necessity...
History. Mrs. Margaret Sanger* invented the phrase "birth control" in her The Woman Rebel (1914). But Mrs. Annie Besant, who has since abandoned the social rebelling of her young matronhood for theosophy and the patronage of Jiddu Krishnamurti (TIME, July 12, 1926), really started this purely modern movement.

But this perhaps is partly due to the caution of critics who are afraid to have their discoveries forgotten. Author Kennedy is reaching high; more noticeable than ever is her sure and satisfying...
...dedication of the memorial to Percy D. Haughton on Saturday Dean Briggs pictured him with a characteristically happy phrase as a man "unquenchable in spirit, irresistible in command, feared, loved, and honored by all." These are the qualities that make a coach great to the men whom he has in his charge, and there is no one whose judgment is of more worth. The corroboration of the words of Dean Briggs comes from the hundreds of men who worked beneath Percy Haughton at Harvard and elsewhere. All these qualities he had in abundance, and such was his affection for football...
