...Bureau; organized the new Federal Employment Service; launched a thoroughgoing survey of the shirt industry to weed out sweatshops; jacked up the Labor Statistics Bureau by appointing able Isador Lubin of Brookings Institute as its chief; secured the services of Charles Wyzanski Jr., onetime editor of the Harvard Law Review, as her solicitor. By her non-political appointments she has done much to raise the tone of her department from the low level to which it had dropped under her immediate predecessor. Miss Perkins' whole career has been a training for her Cabinet job. She was born in Boston...
...time had come to hail loudly Price-Raiser Roosevelt as an example to His Majesty's Government, who continue to keep sterling pegged at a stable rate of exchange in relation to the French gold-standard franc. In his personal organ, the Midland Bank's monthly review, Chairman McKenna minced no words of praise, called "perfectly right'' the President's action in blocking stabilization of the dollar's exchange rate by the London Conference and in shaping U.

World War cameramen with their improved equipment remain nameless heroes. From the bottom of their portfolios were lifted such blood-curdling pictures as went into...
...value of an acre of primary watershed in Los Angeles County is valued by the Federal Board of Review at $971. In 1924 a great fire destroyed the growth on over 60,000 acres in this area. That year after the heavy floods the assessed value of land directly south was written off the tax records by some $10,000,000. The water level of reservoirs and wells dropped to an alarming level as far south as Long Beach. In the light of such facts the statement that the preservation of the growth on these watersheds is "useless...
