This underground sentiment has not gone unheeded, for if the library is made of stone, certainly its administrative staff is not. They have realized this student demand for longer library hours and have made half-way attempts to remedy the situation. For example, Boylston Reading Room--which, together with other specialty collections, is as much a part of the University Library as Widener itself--has been kept open all Saturday afternoon and evening. Formerly it was closed at one o'clock on Saturdays. Thus it is now open seven days in the week...
Last year, partially as a result of the halving of the borrowing period, the library had a twenty per cent increase in circulation, requiring additions to the staff; the budgetary surplus which might have otherwise been used to open Widener on Sundays was thus eaten away...

S. construction industry. Including Vice President (for Philadelphia) H. C. Turner Jr., who has only ten years' worth of service stripes, 13 executives (average age: 52) of this 37-year-old company average 26½ years with the company. Down, the line, 25 superintendents average 17 years, 70 foremen 19 years. No small achievement is this in an industry which must count on starving three years...
...economics of milk is a problem that has gone so long unsolved that many people doubt whether it can ever be solved. FORTUNE recently set its staff to the job of examining this unpromising problem and this week in its November issue comes to the conclusion that there is a solution, in fact that there is no good reason why farmers should get as little as 3? a quart for milk, or the public should have...
