...enquire of tl Official Army Register. Jan 1, 1927, as to his Army status; and if you find, as I have done, that he has no connection with the Army I request that you so state in your department of LETTERS. I would further suggest that this bit of research should have been done prior to publishing Mr. Knapp's letter. In the event that the Official Army Register is not among your works of reference it can be had from the Superintendent, of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington, D. C., for one dollar.

...British Association for the Advancement of Science. The members of that august body, assembled last week at Leeds, reflected that their retiring president had been a perfunctory one. His inaugural pronouncement a year ago, like his retiring one now, had alluded vaguely to "the value of scientific research in relation to imperial development"-glossing over, for the rest, a royal ignorance of science itself with a few royal witticisms (TIME, Aug. 16, 1926). Now a real scientist was president again. The Association might get on with its business. The members settled back to attend President Sir Arthur Keith, who made...
Landing lights at airports have been made remarkably efficient, but what about the flyer who, straying at night from his course, passes near a field at which he is not expected, of which he is unaware?

Further, the Mackay Companies obligated itself, through its Radio Communication, to pay half the cost of Federal Telegraph's research laboratories. The arrangement is quite like that kept by Western Electric Co. and the American Telephone & Telegraph Co. Federal Telegraph had assets, Dec. 31, 1925, of $5,715,383 and net operating profits for that year of $117,061. The acquisition of Federal Telegraph's Pacific Coast radio system...
Months of research, consultations with eye witnesses, ordering and comparing of records went into making the volume. It is designed to guide the most meticulous motor tourist from spot to spot along all the fronts where U. S. troops went into action. The- exploits and reverses of each different division are mapped in separate colors. Curt accompanying narratives enable the tourist to follow, or fight over again in memory, the entire Argonne campaign, for example- Montfaucon, Vauquois, Grand Pre, Sommerance, Romagne, Cunel, Nantilleis, Brieulles sur Bar, etc., etc., with 500 pictures selected from the 100,000 on file in Washington...
