Despite this sniping, Classmate Bertie demonstrated last week that he still had the old school spirit. Early one morning, a fire started among the newsprint rolls in the basement of the Times plant, crippling the presses. Promptly, the Tribune offered its presses. Promptly, the Times accepted the Tribune''?, "good neighbor" offer and, missing but one edition, managed to run off 250,000 of its normal 380,000 daily print order. Fun-loving Times Managing Editor Louis Ruppel, onetime Washington correspondent of the New York Daily News, put a picture of his smoking plant on the front page with...
...rest in dozens of other schools which he owns or supports. Chief centre of his experiments is Greenfield Village, whose schools, opened in 1929, are a part of Dearborn's city system. Some others: nearly a score of rural schools in Michigan; trade schools at the River Rouge plant; three schools in Sudbury, Mass.; seven rural schools and the famed Martha Berry Schools in Georgia; an agricultural institute at Boreham House near Chelmsford, England; a school for rubber workers' children, Fordlandia, 600 miles up the Amazon in Brazil...
Feature race was the $2,500 Hollywood Premiere Handicap which was won by Airman William Edward Boeing's Air Chute. Many of the day's racing fans, however, failed to watch the race. They were busy inspecting the $2,500,000 plant, its 315 acres, its stalls for 1,250 horses. It was all that they expected it to be.

A three-piece swing band furnished...

The launching of the 41-ton, 4-motored Boeing 314 Clipper, destined one day to fly the oceans for Pan American Airways, relieved congestion at Boeing's, where there are under construction five more Clippers and the first Stratoliner, built like the Army's Flying Fortress, but equipped with a pressurized cabin.* Down the Duwamish tenders carefully nudged the great flying boat, nursed her sidewise through bridge spans narrower than...
Corn. After last year's huge corn harvest (2,644,995,000 bu.), mid-western farmers were asked to plant 18% fewer acres. Many ignored the request. It is estimated that by fall, last year's surplus will total 300,000,000 bu., 30% above normal. This fact plus prospects of an average 1938 crop last week dropped futures prices on the Chicago Exchange to 57? a bu., 60? below last year, and prompted Administrator Howard Ross Tolley to predict that a Federal corn loan will be necessary this fall...
