...pulpit Mr. Blackshear read to his congregation, among whom were a few Negroes, a notice he had printed in the church bulletin: "The Episcopal Church provides churches for Negroes. Several of these churches are within easy reach of this locality. They are in the need of the loyal support of all true Negro churchmen. Therefore, the rector of this parish discourages the attendance or membership in this church of members of that race...
Professor Taussig makes some very interesting observations in the current number of Foreign Affairs on the subject of increased tariff schedules. In the same magazine the Harvard economist is vigorously supported in his contention that the new high rates will react unfavorably to the United States. This support comes from the author of "America Comes of Age," the celebrated French economist, Andre Siegfried, who points out meaningly that Europe has become strong enough to retaliate against unduly high tariff measures. The analysis of Professor Taussig together with the intimations from France suggest that the present Congress has been busy sowing...
...until the 1790's. Metallurgists did not introduce its hardening properties to a steel alloy until very recently. Pure iron is a relatively soft metal. A little carbon added yields hard steel. Steel plus a trifle of manganese gives an alloy hard enough, when fabricated into rails, to support heavy subway traffic. If with manganese steel a bit of molybdenum is mixed, the alloyed steel is still harder. G. M. Eaton of Molybdenum Corp. of America advised railroads to use the molybdenum steel for rails. It would support the heavier locomotives and trains that U. S. transportation is requiring...
President Eliot believed that, by the end of the five-year period for which the modest but adequate sum had been raised, the school would have so clearly demonstrated its usefulness that its future permanent support would be ensured. When asked if he meant to apply both quantitative and qualitative tests to such a measure of success, he answered firmly: "Both." I demurred, insisting that at least fifteen years, rather than five years, would be required to settle the foundations of such an enterprise, and that after the first experimental period much larger financial support would be required. Making light...
...Friedrichshafen last week, when the Graf Zeppelin snuggled into her home schuppen (hangar). "Speaking frankly," said Dr. Hugo Eckener (in Manhattan last week), "the Graf Zeppelin's voyage around the world was to demonstrate the expediency of her mode of travel, to intensify public interest and to get financial support for the construction of the ideal Zeppelin which we know how to build." The trip served its purpose. It led last week to banker negotiations to provide Dr. Eckener with money for the construction of four more Zeppelins...
