...from Pennsylvania called the meeting, advertised as a mass meeting. It was attended largely by a motley crowd from some of the worst sections of the city. They came for a good show of cheap demagogic fireworks, and for the most part, they were not disappointed. For some unknown reason, the committee invited Senator Smoot to address this meeting, informing him that he was to speak to a meeting of Philadelphia businessmen. He came with a masterly presentation of facts concerning the taxation and finance of the national government -to use, through no fault of his, in a rough...
Like Great Britain, Germany, Italy, Spain and many another European state, France has long had a system of restricting U. S. film imports. The reason is similar to that which caused Congress to put a tariff on French gowns and hats. Supreme and unrivaled in their own fields are Parisian modistes and Hollywood producers. As yet, however, Congress has not decreed that for every three gowns that a Parisienne sells in the U. S., she must buy one U. S. gown and try to sell it in France. The uproar, the heaven-piercing cries for justice which would rise from...
...State Engineer, itemized various flaws-a great terrace bulging through its stone confines, priceless columns of tinted marble that were chipped and had been deceptively repaired; cracked stones. In 1923 his charges had been refuted and the document affirming their refutation signed by Engineer Johnson. Now, for some curious reason he has spoken again.

This was no surprise to salmon packers, who know that every third or fourth year, for some mysterious reason, the "run" of salmon dwindles sharply. Important are these members of the salmon family: King, or Chinook (Pacific coast, bright, arterial red flesh, averages 22 Ibs.); Red or Sockeye (Alaskan, dark red flesh, 6 Ibs.) ; Coho or Silver (Pacific and Alaskan, light red flesh, 7 Ibs.); Pink or Humpback (Alaskan...
Although there are insufficient flyers in the U. S. to man the planes produced, and although this insufficiency has begun to thwart sales, the Department of Commerce has all along fought scamp training schools. Obvious reason: poorly trained pilots endanger life and property, in the air, on the ground. Last week, Assistant Secretary William Patterson MacCracken approved a set of regulations stiffening the requirements for Government licenses, which now stand as follows: For Private License. On the ground, 5 hrs. study of air commerce regulations, 10 hrs. of aviation engine study, 10 hrs. of airplane study (rigging, maintenance, repair...
