...cleared, visibility improved. Lenin Land, discovered by the Russians 15 years ago, was the next objective. General Nobile hoped to land a scientific party on Lenin Land but so thick was the falling snow, so menacing the cold and dreary waste, that after hunting in vain for a sight of the land, the project was abandoned and the Italia's nose pointed toward Spitsbergen...
...last week, surcease seemed in sight. The governors of the Exchange ordered that for a time trading, which begins at 10 a. m., shall stop at 2:00 p. m., instead of at 3 :00 p. m. In four hours less shares can be traded than in five; clerks will have less to record. London long has had four-hour trading days.

T. officials admitted that a 7-cent fare would not eliminate the almost homicidal crushes on the I. R. T. at rush hours. Why, wondered economists, would it not be to the city's and the I. R. T.'s mutual advantage to allow more than one fare, keeping a 5-cent minimum? The London Underground and the Paris Metro and Nord-Sud sell tickets of various classes. Why not have 10-cent or even...
