...more workers than last year. Hudson had 24,000 orders on hand and a working staff double its January average. Nash estimated that it would deliver more cars in the first quarter of this year than in all of last. Blamed in part for delayed deliveries was the tool and die strike last autumn, but the fact remained that the Industry's orders had piled up to $250,000,000. In Akron, all major tire companies raised wages 10%. Firestone dusted off molds it had not used since 1929. Goodyear's chief statistician predicted tire sales...

Later the engine was put in front to substitute for the horse...
...vital organ of the University might have been curtailed: the appropriations perhaps, for those less essential appendages, the military and naval science departments. The present status of the University treasury does not seem to demand the saving of a few thousand dollars for the hampering of the primary educational tool at any time and least of all during the reading period...
