...first time in his long career. Henry Ford had agreed to negotiate with a labor union. The settlement, fruit of Governor Murray D. Van Wagoner's and U.S. Conciliator James Dewey's tireless efforts, set up a board on which top-ranking Ford men will confer with union men and public officials to adjust grievances that cannot be settled by plant committees. Ford agreed to reinstate five of the men whose dismissals precipitated a walkout at the huge Rouge plant. The union agreed to leave the cases of three others in arbitration. Both sides agreed to cooperate...
...other more intimate qualities which helped General Wavell rise so greatly to his test. He is quietly efficient. His subordinates sometimes refer to him as "Silent Archie" and "Guinea-a-Word Wavell." He works hard -rises at 6:15 a.m., does not dawdle all afternoon over lunch, and is tireless in flying from front to front to keep in touch with his vast command. He is physically tough, and rides, plays golf, goes swimming even when crises are thickest. His calm is unshatterable, he can be hurried by no man. He is sociable but completely unaffected, and loves to quote...

Those tireless peace men, Aristide Briand and Austen Chamberlain, were trying to per suade the Republic of Germany to enter the League of Nations and make a final peace pact. The Republic had its finger in its mouth. Then Mrs. Austen Chamberlain, her husband's ablest helper, rose to the emergency...
...strong in the last three positions as it is in the first three. Sophomore Decker Orr is one of the hardest-hitting players Harvard has had in years and literally whales a rival into submission. Another great second-year man, Sandy Parker, comes next on the list. He is tireless, has a sound game, and only lacks a complete supply of finesse shots before becoming a topnotcher. Dave DeKruif, a Senior, Doug Cochrane, a Junior, and Dudley Palmer, a Sophomore, are all in the thick of the fight for the last couple of jobs, not to mention Junior Orme Wilson...
