Tomorrow the Crimson oarsmen will have their final pre-race test over the Basin course. Last Saturday the second crew beat the first but the heavy University shell should regain its former status tomorrow. On Saturday three men were in new positions, and the crew never settled down, being somewhat out of time at the finish. The second crew is steadily improving and should give the Annapolis "jayvees" a great battle. The Navy seconds beat Pennsylvania by two lengths last Saturday, while the Red and Blue University eight was trailing by five lengths. A victory for the Watts stroked shell...

...long ago engineers made smoke in the Holland vehicular tunnel under the Hudson river to test the all-important ventilating system. The announced result: complete success (TIME, March 28).

...Studebaker stockholders had other strong food to chew on last week. This was the report of the test of swift endurance, run by a stock Studebaker at Culver City, Calif. In 81 hours a four-passenger, closed model, six-cylinder car covered 5,000 miles (equivalent of six months' ordinary driving) at an average speed of 61.12 miles per hour.* No fully equipped stock car had previously been put through a 5,000-mile speed-endurance test. So Studebaker has a record...
...civilization of the Labour party went a step further with the marriage of the daughter of the labor leader, J. H. Thomas, which was a test of the Labor Party. They met it magnificently. The editor of "Tailor and Cutter" proclaimed that the guests at the wedding were sartorially unassailable. Not only did they wear coats and neckties, they wore cutaways and cravais. The editor was tremendously relieved: "Labor has grown up, has assumed responsibility and gone to a good tailor. . . . . There were leading Conservatives and Liberals present with lords and men of great possessions, but labor held...
