  • The Ftc from 1925 to 1929
    THE WILLIAM HUMPHREY AND ABRAM MYERS YEARS: THE FTC FROM 1925 TO 1929 MARC WINERMAN WILLIAM E. KOVACIC* The Federal Trade Commission is one of the oldest U.S. experiments with a multi-member federal regulatory body. To formulate coherent programs and establish a respectable institutional brand, such bodies benefit from a basic level of consensus and internal harmony. Though uniformity of perspective within the board is neither attainable nor healthy, a core commonality of pur- pose and fidelity to collegiality are highly desirable. Attaining such common cause depends heavily on the backgrounds, philosophies, and personal sensi- bilities of the board’s members. During President Calvin Coolidge’s second term (and first full term), the FTC Commissioners shared neither the requisite commonality nor collegial- ity, as William Humphrey served as a protagonist in two successive splits among the Commissioners. The first, triggered by his arrival, was a partisan confrontation. The Republicans had controlled the White House and Congress since 1921, but first controlled a majority of Commission seats in June 1924 and first began to change the agency’s direction aggressively when Humphrey arrived in February 1925. Though Humphrey was not a Presidentially desig- nated Chairman (he arrived a quarter century before the President could desig- nate the Chairman1), he was a boisterous man and a clamorous public official. He dominated the agency for a time by the force of his personality, and he continues to dominate discussions about FTC history between his arrival in * Marc Winerman is an attorney in the Office of International Affairs at the FTC and for- merly an attorney advisor to Commissioner Kovacic.

  • The Social Composition of the Nazi Party in Eutin, 1925–32
    LA WRENCE D. STOKES THE SOCIAL COMPOSITION OF THE NAZI PARTY IN EUTIN, 1925-32* i The supporters of the Nazi party prior to 1933 can be divided into two groups. Much the larger of these were the millions of voters who, begin- ning in the summer of 1930, cast their ballots for Hitler and his party. The second group, whose adherence to the Nazi movement included but also went beyond voting for its candidates in elections, were the for- mal members of the NSDAP. Between February 1930 and May 1932, they increased in number from approximately 170-180,000 to some 850-900,000.! Who were the members of the NSDAP? The following essay is part of a wider study in preparation on the social and political history of the town of Eutin in Holstein between the world wars. By examining in detail the membership of a single Ortsgruppe (local unit), that of Eutin, it suggests one means of utilizing the almost unmanageable weight of documentation upon which any analysis of the composition of the Nazi party must rest: the * I am indebted to the Canada Council for fellowship grants during 1973-76 to conduct research on Eutin between 1918 and 1939. 1 Fiihrer befiehl...

  • A Research Guide for L. Frank Baum
    The Wizard Behind Oz and Other Stories: A Research Guide for L. Frank Baum By: Karla Lyles October 2006 2 Introduction: In 1900 Lyman Frank Baum published The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, a phenomenal literary success that inspired posthumous writings to continue the Oz series into more than 40 books (including the originals). Although Baum published several additional series of books (most pseudonymously written) and other individual writings, he is best known for The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. A considerable number of books, articles, dissertations, and electronic resources containing information about the Oz masterpiece are available, supplying a wealth of information for the curious Baum fan or avid Baum researcher. To locate information about Baum and his writings I consulted several search engines, including ABELL, British Library Catalogue, Copac, DLB, MLAIB, Wilson, and WorldCat, as well as referred to footnotes in printed materials I obtained. I have provided references to the databases I located each of the materials in within the brackets at the end of the citation entries, allowing the reader to consult those databases if he/she so chooses to pursue further research. For those individuals who may be unfamiliar with the acronyms of some of the databases, ABELL is the Annual Bibliography of English Language and Literature, DLB is the Dictionary of Literary Biography, and MLAIB is the MLA International Bibliography. I also relied substantially on the services of Interlibrary Loan to secure materials that are not available in Evans Library at Texas A & M University, and I recommend the use of Interlibrary Loan in conducting research to allow for the acquisition of materials that would otherwise remain unobtainable.

    Dulah Marie Evans (Dulah Evans Krehbiel), 1875-1951, American Painter, Illustrator, and Printmaker Compiled by Jane Meyer of Jane Meyer Fine Art, Elburn Editing and layout by Don Ryan of the Krehbiel Corporation. Dulah Marie Llan Evans was born on February 17th, 1875, to pioneer residents of Oskaloosa, Iowa, David and Marie Ogg Evans. She was brought up (along with her sister, Mayetta, and two brothers, Walter and Carl) in a low rambling house of many rooms that was reminiscent of the homes of Llanidloe, Wales, the birth place of her father. David Evans, a well-educated man, was the architect and builder of the Evans Building, which stands to this day on the main street in Oskaloosa. Dulah’s mother, Marie, came from an upper class family in Switzerland and was the driving force behind the education of her children. She was very gifted in the arts and encouraged her daughters, particularly, to pursue careers in creative fields. Dulah attended Penn College and graduated from The Art Institute of Chicago, where she studied under John Vanderpoel and Frederick Richardson, among other prominent artists and art educators. Dulah completed her postgraduate work at the Art Students League in New York, where she won many first place awards in illustration classes under the instruction of Walter Appleton Clark. She also studied at the Charles Hawthorne School in Provincetown, Massachusetts in 1916 and at the New York School of Art under William Merritt Chase.

  • SUSPENDED MATTER in the COLORADO RIVER in 1925-1928 by C. S. Howard Determinations of the Quantity of Solid Material Carried By
    SUSPENDED MATTER IN THE COLORADO RIVER IN 1925-1928 By C. S. HowARD INTRODUCTION Determinations of the quantity of solid material carried by the Colorado River are necessary for the proper consideration of plans for the development of the resources of the river. Much of the material carried by the river will be deposited in the proposed reser­ voirs and eventually will occupy a large part of the capacity of the reservoirs, so that their effectiveness for flood control or river regulation will be greatly decreased. A capacity of 6,000,000 acre-feet is reserved for silt storage in plans for a reservoir in Boulder Canyon that is to have a maximum capacity of about 25,000,000 to 30,000,000 acre-feet. It has been estimated that such a silt-storage capacity will not be entirely used for nearly 100 years.1 However, the discharge of sediment including the sediment from the Gila was reported to be more than 1,000,000 acre-feet for the four years 1909+ 1912 2 and a similar quantity for the four years 1912-1916.3 The quantity of suspended matter carried by the Colorado River variesconsiderablyfrom year to year, and the uncertainty of its effect on the life of reservoirs is shown by the estimates given above. The differences in the quantities carried at different stations during a 3-year period are shown in the results given in this paper. Practically all the samples collected from the Colorado River have represented only the suspended load and give no indication of the quantity carried as bed load.
