This does not remove the need for some sort of agency to whom the prospective job-hunters can turn for advice. Weary months are often wasted and many false starts made due to a misunderstanding on the part of the applicant as to the nature of the position he is to occupy. A clearing house of information of the precise requirements in the various branches of employment available would do much to remedy such lack of knowledge and at least give the advisee a clear conception of what will be expected of him. The possibilities of co-operation with...
...social study. In the student section of the socialist movement one might hope to find a blending of youthful idealism and careful thinking that would bring a journal of opinion to a high standard. Discussions in such a medium should be by and for undergraduates, and of an original turn, uncolored with the general propaganda motive. The Progressive with its tabloid-like treatment of the liberation of mankind theme can scarcely be considered to include any of those features which would seem to justify it as the organ of a group of Harvard students...
Last week. Bambino Romano, not yet turned 18 months, was completely forgotten as Milan tea table gossips buzzed.

...hostess, with a roll of drums, tripped in. Even now when Texas Guinan, perched on a chair-back with her suckers around her, invokes an atmosphere indisputably authentic, the public is not allowed to forget that her grown son, whom she has not seen for years, will presently turn up and be accused, at the moment he is recognized by her, of a murder committed by someone else. Feeble directing of these elements is compensated chiefly by the beautiful legs of Lila Lee as a night club entertainer. Best shot: Texas Guinan asking for a hand...
This is a war of cheap cars, Ford v. Chevrolet. There is a surprising dearth of such cars on the Continent. Citroen, leading continental mass-producer, cannot turn out a car that will undersell the Ford in France, though Fords cost 25,700 francs ($1,008), about double the American price. The cheapest Chevrolet model sells for 30,400 francs ($1,191). France's 45% ad valorem duty largely accounts for these prices. Even with this duty, it is estimated that General Motors' projected cheap car for the Opel Works could be sold in France at about...
