...getting to the time of term when those people who have been buried under piles of work in the University Library and such haunts of learning for the past few weeks begin to tire and take to giving parties instead. One is now daily besieged with invitations to luncheons, teas, sherry, dinner, and more peculiar functions. Work is temporarily put in the background, to be reinstated as an immediate reality when we find at the beginning of next term that these all-important yearly exams are only a month ahead. But for the present gaiety is king...
...Goodyear Tire & Rubber made $5,452,000 in 1935 against $4,287,000 in 1934. Sales were $28,000,000 ahead of 1934, but the tire companies spent the best part of the 1935 selling season in one of their chronic price-cutting battles. U.

He made it in six, and every caddy still boasts this a record unbeaten and unbeatable on the Havana course...
...Michigan Highway Department lately worked out a trailer which, hauled behind a truck, sucks up metal by magnetic attraction, feeds it into a hopper. The sweeper costs 35? per mile to operate, covers 42 miles per day. By last week it had accumulated more than a half ton of tire-damaging litter, including a pair of scissors...
...state, doctors and psychiatrists used various words adding up to much the same thing-"hysteria," "mental anesthesia," "self-hypnosis," "a neurotic's struggle with reality." Because the girl was able to perform the feat of holding her arms upraised for 40 minutes when an ordinary person would tire in ten, no one suggested she was faking. Not the least bit interested in what the doctors thought were the Tapps and their devout friends. They bridled when it was suggested Shirley be hospitalized. Instead, the Full Salvationists jampacked the little room which resounded with hymns, prayers, exhortations...
