...Burbigian dialects. As one well versed in the variations of 'English as she is spoke', this reviewer, at a guess, would say that the raconteur of Mr. Burbig's stories is of mixed Jewish and Italian parentage and that he learned his English somewhere in Amsterdam Ave. As a result the pristine purity of the true Yiddish-English, a dialect to delight the heart of the connoiseur, is lost...
...Thus we put before these Minnesota men three different causes, all equally worthy of their contribution, and waited to see what would be the result of our various appeals without much doubt, however, as to the final outcome. Needless to say, while the cause of the homeless Michigan students was better supported than that of the foreigners, the subscriptions for the German book of diagrams which could be used to personal advantage only, were vastly greater than those for either of the other causes. Thus we proved that as social distance increases, readiness to help others decreases, while...
...their special use, to establish an individual commons apart from the students spells defeat to any objective of bringing both types of men together in an informal, friendly fashion. Where there must be continued visiting back and forth between two common rooms, the line of least resistance can but result in only occasional and formal, contact between tutor and student...

This will mean the opening up of the whole area, the establishment of a great industry, and the employment of thousands of natives who have had hitherto little or no contact with civilization. The inevitable result of such an enterprise will be the development of the economic resources of the country and a profound modification in the primitive culture of its savage population.

...production ranging from 175,000,000 to 207,000,000 Ibs. of copper a year its earnings ranged from $2,000,000 to $5,000,000. In 1928, however, with estimated production of 208,000,000 Ibs., its estimated earnings were $10,000,000. This disproportionate increase is a result of recent rises in the price of copper. The average price received for its product in 1928 was 14.76? a pound. At the same rate of production, for every one-cent rise in copper prices earnings should increase $2,000,000. Now copper is in the neighborhood...
