...Powell, founded the Girl Scouts in Savannah, Ga. 27 years ago. There are now some 400,000 Girl Scouts in the U. S., one for every two Boy Scouts. Outside the U. S. may be found another million Girl Scouts or Girl Guides. According to The Girl Scout News Sheet, Mrs. Low was "handicapped by deafness and later by a fatal illness, by the indifference of many friends and the blindness of others," lugubriously and correctly predicted the year of her death...
...found himself fingering some crepe paper in a 5? & 10? store. The result was the Vogel-type aligning paper which he put on the market in 1934. It is a finely corrugated paper, ruled so that it can be torn in narrow horizontal strips and cemented to a backing sheet. The typist writes on the corrugated side and, when finished, takes a pair of tweezers, lifts the strips loose, stretches them so that the lines typewritten on them conform to a standard length, presses them back in place on the cemented backing. The typing shows practically no distortion...
...considerable improvement on printing from a typewritten sheet was made possible last week by International Business Machines Corp. I. B. M. has a new electric typewriter which uses 12-point Roman type and whose carriage automatically advances different spacings to allow each letter in the alphabet the width required by good type design. (Each typewriter letter is the same width.) Thus, capital W gets eight units of space, lower-case i or I only two units. The machine uses a 300-ft. paper ribbon, which runs through only once, thus keeping the copy uniform in blackness. There is also...

Earnings in the June quarter were only $487,000, as against $5,500,000 in the preceding quarter and $2,600,000 in the June quarter, 1936. Embattled Youngstown Sheet & Tube managed to clear $2,000,000, off 20% from the June quarter the year before and considerably less than half what it made in the March quarter this year. Bethlehem Steel, with only one plant affected, the Cambria works in Johnstown, Pa., made a relatively good showing...
...first half of 1936. In a year of booming automobile sales this reduction by itself might appear small comfort to an old and long stagnant motor-maker. But the true state of Hupp was discernible last week not in its profit & loss account but in the balance sheet and in its big plant off Detroit's East Grand Boulevard. In both of these stagnation lurked no longer...
