...Scotland was that every time its farmer raised his eyes from the furrow he saw towering over his head the vast stern and mountainous superstructure of the greatest ship ever built in Britain, Queen Mary. When the farmer looked up from his field last week Queen Mary was gone, safe at sea after what her owners devoutly hope will be the most ticklish journey she will ever have to make...
...wangled a huge concession from Haile Selassie for Standard Vacuum Oil and then, to an international chorus of "Shame! Shame!" was paid off and repudiated by the U. S. concern (TIME, Sept. 9 et seq.). Dressy Mr. Rickett's importance survived last autumn's misadventure because his safe continued to be the repository for the concession for the subsoil rights to precisely the two-thirds of Ethiopia that Benito Mussolini wants.

It was Johns Hopkins' academic division, equally renowned and cherished...

Installation of his apparatus in every driving test center in the country would simplify the problem of keeping incapable operators off the highways. As Dr. de Silva himself points out, the road tests now administered, usually consisting of a trip around one city block, are entirely inadequate, as no emergency is likely to arise. His experiments, on the other hand, endanger no one, as they are carried out in the safe confines of a laboratory. A system of point...
