That Pres Dillard is in trade (banking) is bad enough, but that he neglects his lady for business is worse. To chastise Pres, Julie wears red to the Mardi Gras' Olympus Ball, where unmarried girls traditionally wear white. To chastise Julie, Pres dances her feet off while proper and white-frocked New Orleans belles primly withdraw to the sidelines. That night Julie's good night to Pres is a slap fully as resounding as that which Scarlett O'Hara deals to Ashley Wilkes to give Gone With the Wind its real start. When Pres goes, Julie...
...responded with dollars, a few volunteered $5 and $10. But other publishers whose agents had sold Literary Digest in combination with their own magazines were grieved because the Digest's suspension and appeal for funds threatened to involve them in difficulties with their own subscribers. So great was trade agitation that the Audit Bureau of Circulations, trade association which watches over such matters, called a hasty session. Rebuked, the Digest last week returned its subscribers' contributions, petitioned U. S. District Court for permission to reorganize under Section 776 of the Bankruptcy...

...perhaps an equivalent sum in the first concerted drive the industry has ever put on-National Used Car Exchange Week (TIME. March 7). Because there are 46,000 registered automobile dealers in the U. S. and an indeterminate number of independents with lots full of jalopies, statistics of their trade are never very precise. Estimates of the used car glut on March 5 ranged from 700,000 to 1,000,000, with the latter figure probably the more accurate (normal: 500,000). Last week, as reports of the drive poured into Detroit, Automotive Daily News estimated that 175,000 used...
