Month ago the U. S. War Department planked out $25,009,388 for a whopping rush order of airplane engines. To Allison Engineering Co., a newcomer in high-powered aeronautics, went the fattest slice: $15,080,261. Old-established Wright Aeronautical Corp. and Pratt & Whitney (already fat with Army contracts) came off second and a poor third (Wright: $8,975,317; Pratt & Whitney $953,810).

...leisurely. The leaves are still. There's no ripple on the grass. The sun is hot on the pavement. Men are wearing white shirts. It's summer! Vag eaunters across the Yard admiring the seasonal phenomenon, the gregness, the aims,--even Sever Hall. He walks slowly. There's no rush, no appointments, no assignments, not for three and a half months. He lights a cigarette, lets the smoke curl out of his mouth and hang in mid air motionless. No sir, no one could get him to walk fast now! He'd walk as slowly as he darned well wanted...
