...proposed improvements is that whereby Rhodes Scholars may select institutions other than Oxford as their places of study. Apparently the committee has recognized the growing feeling that the relatively large number of Rhodes men at Oxford has begun to lend a definite color to the place. The "American Quarter" atmosphere no doubt has a tendency to antagonize the true born Englishman and certainly there have been many Americans who have deliberately gone elsewhere in their search for an environment more genuinely native than that afforded by an institution than that afforded by an institution which harbors two hundred Rhodes Scholars...
...expects to build some 465 miles during the present year. Expansion plans centre around the Saskatchewan district and may result in a "war" with Canadian National which has considered the Saskatchewan territory as particularly its own. Should hostilities result, the Canadian Pacific has assets of about one and a quarter billion dollars...
Last week U. S. motorists blinked eyes in astonishment; U. S. motor car makers held heads proudly high. Astonishment and pride alike resulted from a perusal of automobile production figures for the first quarter of 1929. For these statistics showed that speeding 1929 was leaving record-breaking 1928 far behind. They demonstrated a percentage increase worthy even of an infant industry; a volume increase that should materially contribute to the development of the U.

Nash beat March, 1928 by 44%, Franklin by 140% (1,566 units). March saw the millionth Oakland roll down the runway. Marmon had a record-breaking March, featured by its new Roosevelt (8 cylinders, less than $1,000). President A. R. Erskine of Studebaker told stockholders of $4,500,000 earnings, in best first quarter for five years. Continental Motors Corp. (engines) showed sales increases, exclusive of sales to Ford, of 18% over first quarter...
...corporations last week reporting their 1928 earnings (it would seem that the early reports on the first quarter of 1929 would be arriving before the 1928 list is complete) public utilities were particularly well represented. Great are utilities and large their earnings, but for some reason the report of (say) Public Service Corp. of New Jersey does not excite as much popular interest as the report of (say) Jordan Motors. When a good Jordan report comes out, everyone gets a mental picture of many a Jordan hastening along the nation's highways, but Public Service Corp. probably suggests only...
