Capacity wise: All capital goods investment (private and Government) put $15,000,000,000 to $20,000,000,000 a year of total new money to work in each War year. Production doubled between 1914 and 1917, the pace of U. S. economic activity stepped up, the way was paved for the still greater output during the 1920s. In 1926 production was 10% greater than the 1917 peak. U. S. economy has grown in size. Example: Wartime steel capacity was overstrained to produce 40,000,000 tons; present capacity is over 70,000,000 tons. In the grown-up economy...

...works, Mahler's immense, unwieldy, hour-and-a-half-long symphony is seldom performed. When Leopold Stokowski played it in Philadelphia 23 years' ago, proud Philadelphians crowed as though they had hatched a world's series baseball team. But Cincinnatians just took it in their stride, put it on the same program with another hour-long choral epic, sat calmly through them both, then thundered their approval...
...Dunellen, N. J., homesick Carl Schurr, a German iceman, traded his $1,300 house & lot for one in Stuttgart, Germany, recently vacated by Jewish Refugee Rudolph Stoessell. As Herr Schurr auctioned off his ice business lock, stock and tongs, Refugee Stoessell, already well housed in midtown Manhattan, put his new Dunellen estate up for rent...
