...such incidents multiplied, all Europe looked anxiously toward the valley of that great, sluggish river which Germans call Donau, Slavs Dunav, Magyars Duna, Rumanians Dunarea, English -speaking peoples Danube (see map). The nations of the Danube Basin knew their danger, knew also that for their chances of remaining unmolested a little longer they could thank the richness of their valley, since would-be conquerors might well destroy the prize they covet...
...making One Million B. C. Directors Hal Roach & Hal Roach Jr. have thrown science to the winds that howl through arid Fire Valley, Nev. where most of the thriller was filmed. They rely for red-blooded entertainment on such spectacles as a giant lizard devouring a man, a tapir-like monster ingesting a python, a battle royal between two dinosaurs...

City-owned transmission lines carry the power to Newark near San Francisco Bay. There, 27 miles from Nob Hill...
...Sell Hetch Hetchy power elsewhere-perhaps to the publicly operated irrigation districts in the valley. This Jim Black would not oppose. It would leave P. G. & E. in control of the San Francisco market, which provides 23% of P. G. & E.'s gross. But it would shave P. G. & E.'s profits from this market, since costlier power than Hetch Hetchy's would have to come from P. G. & E.'s own turbines and stand-by plants. Last week P. G. & E. common, a Wall Street blue chip, dropped 1¾ points...
