The trend away from large bonds towards stamps, in addition to indicating a more systematic buying plan, also shows that current income is being used, which is the government's object of issuing the bonds...
Last week the San Francisco Museum of Art recognized this architectural trend by putting on show models and plans by five of California's ace modern architects.

Despite the large numbers of women who are expected to attend, there will probably be a considerably greater number of men, especially Harvard undergraduates. It is certain, however, that the total number of students will be far larger than last year's 2145; in fact, it will probably be considerably in excess of this...
