...dentists are graduated (TiME, July 2) There is only one colored physician to every 3,194 Negroes, one colored dentist to every 20,500 Negroes. There is one white physician to every 553 white people, one white dentist to every 2,070 white people. This condition is the product not of an indifference on the part of colored youths to the medical and dental professions, but because of limited facilities. Howard University, one of the colleges that gives this training, is obliged to turn away over two-thirds of those who seek admission because of inadequate laboratory space. These facts...
...popular adoption of the automobile, petroleum was desired chiefly for its derivative, kerosene- such was the situation in 1906, when the American petroleum industry had combined assets of about $750,000,000. In 1922, however, the industry's assets were ten times this figure, and its leading product had become gasoline consumed primarily by motor vehicles. A. C.

...real protagonist of the production does not appear. He allows his work to register his virtuosity. He is Stephen Gosson, the architect who designed the sets. The costumer, one William Israel, is but a step behind him. Between them, with the help of a good director and a few thousand broadswords, they have constructed a thing of permanent beauty. Gothic architecture is, in the main, their medium; their background, the flashing pageantry of 16th Century France. So painstaking is their detail, so accurate their reproduction, so beautiful their finished product, that the French Chamber of Deputies has requested a copy...
Ever since the crash in 1920, the leather companies have been in almost continuous difficulties. Addeo to their huge losses on inventory values is the fact that since leather is a by-product of the meat and other industries, the leather trade cannot regulate the supply of raw hides with the same ease as other industries regulate their sources of supply. Moreover, the new styles in women's shoes make for a reduced use of leather, and automobile manufacturers are employing painted cloth and leather substitutes to a greater degree than formerly...
