Meanwhile, Far Eastern Magazine reported a Chinese Government survey of nine "Japanese-held" provinces* which found that, out of a total of 796 counties, 489 are devoid of Japanese troops and another 248 are, for practical purposes and with the exception of big cities, in Chinese hands. Altogether 92% of these counties are scarcely more occupied than a prairie across which a herd of buffalo has tramped; the Chinese, like prairie gophers, almost always pop up in charge again...
...first place, the idea of averaging $5000 annual earnings after five years is absurd. John R. Tunis in his survey of Harvard's class of 1911 showed that even after a quarter of a century his classmates were earning less than $5000 per man. The number of college students has increased almost six-fold since Tunis' undergraduate days: the college diploma is progressively decreasing in its power to assure large incomes...

These would have CBS customers believe that fully four-fifths of all rural homes use packaged soap, cereal, coffee, cleanser; 92% use toothpaste or powder, 77% wrapped bread; that 89% of rural women use face powder, 66% lipstick or rouge. Least used were canned soup (49%), canned tomato or fruit juice (46%), condensed milk (37%). For CBS, the interviewers found out that 80.9% of the families questioned listened...
