...times in the last twelve years. Again the favorite was California, trained to the minute, rowing the odd, short, leg & arm stroke with which Coach Ky Ebright stampeded college rowing in 1932. Washington had beaten California by a split second last spring (TIME, April 22) but that was a shorter race and since then Al Ulbrickson had demoted the eight sophomores whom earlier in the season he had called the best crew he had ever coached, patched up a new varsity around a nucleus of last year's. Of the Eastern shells, Navy's had the best rating...

Buildings by Upjohn II include the Connecticut Capitol at Hartford, Boston's Central Congregational Church, St. Paul's Church in Brooklyn, Manhattan's Trinity School...

Editors then pasted stories and headlines upon heavy cardboards the size of a newspaper page. Staff cartoonists inked in column-rules, dashes, decorations. Clippings from back numbers were pasted into place for the mastheads, weather reports, departmental headlines, etc. The whole was photo-engraved, cylinder plates cast, sent to press...
...inevitable. Then who will feed the workers, and who will pay the cities' defaulted obligations? The "transfer" of capital and labor is a process depending upon the mobility of the capital and labor force. The removal of several good sized cities will take a long time, and the shorter the time, the greater the pain of adjustment. In the south, if a mill closes, the operatives go back to the farm in the hills; in New England the majority of them have no place to go and no farm but their front yards. The southern mill has no city...
