...obscure points in the process of industrial development--the rearing of our Infant Industries--has apparently been solved by Chairman Lasker of the Shipping Board. All through the history of the United States the student is confronted with the problem of Infant Industries. He learns that it is the duty of our legislators to nurture such struggling native enterprise, the very life of which is dependent upon favorable tariff. But professors and books alike all fail to relate what becomes of the little venturers if they thrive under government care. And the student is finally obliged to adopt the conclusion...
...feat was made possible by the experiments of Dr. Arthur Korn, professor of electro-physics in the Berlin High School of Technology, who has been working on the idea since 1900. Dr. Korn's process is based on the fact that a half-tone newspaper or magazine picture, if examined through a strong magnifying glass, is seen to be made up of hundreds of tiny dots, varying in size and shade, the dark dots being large and the light ones small. Photographs under the new system are translated at the sending end into groups of letters, each letter representing...

The basic method is sound, and with the perfecting of the process which will come with time, the possibilities of the invention are almost without limit...
...exchanging paper of somewhat uncertain value for flour at a good bargain, the Russian certificate-holders bid fair to turn into the bread loan something like a half of the enormous number of paper rubles now in circulation. Just what the Soviet Government intends to do further if this process of deflation is successful remains somewhat obscure. Probably the treasury officials will start all over again the wholesale printing of irredeemable currency. After that they can reduce the 100-ruble note...
