...another tool of Science. Certainly, the movie as an academician has had some degree of success in the field of Geology, Physics and Biology. The suggestion, elsewhere in today's CRIMSON, of Professor Friedrich that the film has a rightful place in Social Science offers, perhaps, the soundest application yet conceived of the invention. As he says, actual sight and sound of legislative' bodies in action would add tremendous vitality to the sometimes deadened lectures concerning those parliaments. Professor Friedrich's proposal, if carried out, should undoubtedly fix the word "film" as the permanent derivation from the original, "moving picture...
Shrewd, His Majesty determined to breed a new, better army. He sent troops of Arab slave drivers to beat the forests of Senegal for blacks. From the roundup, 10,000 of the most perfect men, 10,000 of the soundest maidens were selected, sent...
That nearly every stock was at bargain prices by any modern economic standard was best shown by the fact that very soundest stocks were selling at ten times current earnings and many a stock such as that of the General Motors Corp. reached a point where it was only five or six times current earnings.

Not without soundest reasons did he scrap the world's longest ocean liner keel. When the Oceanic was laid down, super-size rather than superspeed was the boast of luxury ships. For 22 years the trans-Atlantic speed record had been held unmolested by Cunard's gallant Mauretania while ship after ship surpassed her in size. Last month, however, Germany's new Bremen beat the old Mauretania (TIME, July 29), set a new trans-Atlantic liner...
...fish newly caught. The Taylor, Birdseye and other quick-freezing processes have been important factors in the recently renewed prosperity of the fishing industry. Back in 1918, the fish industry was practically for sale with no buyers. Last week Secretary of Commerce Lament said fishing was in the soundest position of its history. Some 127,000 commercial fishermen catch three billion pounds of fish annually. The catch is valued at about $113,000,000. Chief fish landed in New England ports is not the famed cod but haddock, one month's catch showing 75% haddock, 16% cod, 5% flounders...
