The article presents several kinds of watercolor papers and offers advice on how to select the right one in terms of the medium and technique employed. Manufactured in Italy, France, and England, finest papers are named and letter coded as rough (R), hot pressed (HP), and cold pressed (CP). Weight of paper ranges from 50 to 300 pounds in a ream of 500 sheets, and as a rule, 70-pound paper or more is recommended for watercolor. Images of different kinds of paper with paint results are presented such as wet and dry techniques on a 54-pound rough paper.

The article discusses the impending paper shortage in 1944. While the combined requirements of the U.S., Canada and England are expected to exceed by seven percent the 1943 figures, a shortage in production by 27 percent, is anticipated. A Combined Pulp & Paper Committee of the three countries was formed to investigate and report on paper. The paper crisis is attributed to the shortage of woods labor for felling trees, cutting to length, stacking of corkwood, and hauling to market.

The article reports on the use of paper plates, cutlery and dresses in making furniture. It states that chairs and desks introduced by Bernard Holdaway are becoming a hit in London, England. These things are made of compressed pulp paper. Moreover, another use of pulp paper introduced by London Royal College of Art Graduate Peter Murdoch is cited. He made a gay nursery chair which is now on sale on specialty shops in the region.

This article focuses on prevailing political conditions the U.S. and around the world, as of May 18, 1899. The excitement and discussions in England over the Sunday-editions of the newspapers "Daily Mail," and the "Daily Telegraph," produce a curiously reminiscent effect upon those who have been connected for any time with newspapers of the U.S. British statesman Arthur James Balfour solemnly reminds the House of Commons that the work on a Sunday newspaper is actually done on Saturday, and that it is the Monday paper which is really wicked, and all the other dear old platitudes are hurled about with vigor and enthusiasm. Another development focuses on the subject of the taxation of securities and other paper evidences of ownership in or claims against corporations.

The article reports on the purchase of the "London Times" by Lord Northcliffe, born Alfred Harmsworth, owner of "Daily Mail," in Great Britain. Northcliffe proceeded to fire editor George Earle Buckle and replace him with foreign correspondent Geoffrey Dawson. As the owner, Northcliffe sneaked in the first byline the newspaper had printed in 137 years and demanded more new stories and shorter articles. In addition, he forced Dawson to take vacations in order for him to impose more editorial changes which the staff did not want.

This article focuses on various books related to modern England. Various books discussed in the article are "The Taylor Papers: Being a Record of Certain Reminiscences, Letters, and Journals in the Life of Lieut.-Gen. Sir Herbert Taylor," "The Making of Modern England," by Gilbert Slater; "Stolen Waters: A Page in the Conquest of Ulster," by P.M. Healy; "Sir Frederick Maurice: A Record of His Work and Opinions," edited by F. Maurice. Slater, in his book, sets forth very soberly and with full knowledge of the facts, the conditions under which the people of England were living in 1815. And he finds that it was not a "merry England" then.

The article presents U.S. studies pertaining to business research in the 1920s. One study focuses on a proposal for term settlement plans for U.S. securities purchases. The plan would change the delivery time for purchases and sales on the New York Stock Exchange. European exchanges employ such methods. Another study focuses on the investment policies of U.S. commercial banks. It discusses the use of bank reserves on the call money market as opposed to U.S. Federal Government bonds. Analysts say when money rates are falling investments in government bonds hold a higher appreciation value. Another study compares the pig-iron prices of the U.S. and England from 1914-1922. Since World War I the U.S. price of pig-iron has increased while England's has steadily declined.

The article focuses on London, England's "Sunday Telegraph", a Sunday paper introduced by newspaper publisher William Michael Berry. It states that the Sunday paper has established its capacity to survive in an overcrowded field in less than five months. It notes that the paper is designed to fill the gap in a Sunday field with an appeal that is obviously visceral.

A correspondent who begins his war experience in France gets very soon a different external impression of the scope and methods of the censorship from the one he would be likely to receive if he began his observations in England. French newspapers, as every one who knows France will recall, are regularly much smaller than the ordinary daily journals of England or America. Rather oddly, they often find place for a serial story, and the quantity of advertising matter, while small in the aggregate, is often large in proportion to the size of the paper. As a consequence, news of all sorts must be presented in the briefest compass, and only events of the greatest momentary importance or interest can be set forth with even tolerable fullness.

No sooner do Americans stop taking advertising seriously--those at least who read the "American Mercury," and the cynical paragraphers of the daily papers -- than Britishers fall into the dismal habit. The English reviews reported the International Advertising Convention recently held at Wembley, England with a reverence that was depressing. Writer Loe Strachey's leading editorial in the "Spectator," was respectful enough to herald at least a second Milton. "The Manchester Guardian," issued a resplendent supplement in black and gold in honor of the convention. And them source of all this eloquence, the convention itself. A sample of its deliberations, part of an address on church advertising is presented.

The article presents political updates of the world, as of September 21, 1901. The attempt on U.S. President William McKinley's life at Buffalo, New York, on Friday last touched, as it could not fail to do, the national feeling, instantly and deeply. Nor could any moral and humane person hesitate to denounce without reservation the infamy of a crime not to be excused were the victim the meanest, instead of the most exalted, citizen. In another update, in considering the interesting paper of the Oxford, England correspondent, of the journal "Observer," on the causes of imperialism in England, the first thing that occurs to people is that Imperialism, Megalomania, or Jingoism, though there is a sudden access of it at present, is by no means so new a thing as "Observer," seems to assume.

England has just passed through one of the most amazing crises of her history. The strength of labor has faded like smoke before the massed forces of capital and government. The Triple Alliance, on paper the most powerful body in the world of labor, has failed on the eve of action. Close to a million miners, sullen and stupefied by the turn of events, are continuing their fight alone and the government is curtailing none of its emergency precautions. To students of the industrial situation emergence of serious trouble was assured when at the end of February the government announced its intention of removing wartime control of the coal industry on March 31, five months ahead of the date originally appointed by statute.

A photograph of men engaged in a waste-paper collection drive that was held at the Buckingham Palace in London, England in 1941 is presented.

The article focuses on newspapers owned by Lord Thomson of Fleet in Buckinghamshire, England. It mentions that Thomson has acquired Brush-Moore papers from the time when Louis H. Brush and Roy Moore purchased "Marion Star" from its president Warren Harding. Furthermore, the Brush-Moore papers include the "Canton Repository," with 73,000 newspapers, the "San Gabriel Valley Tribune" with 72, 000 newspapers, and the "Weirton Daily Times" with 6, 600 newspapers.

The article presents information on various literary publications and congresses and conventions. "The Republic," the new daily newspaper, made its appearance on Monday. It is price is one cent less than any other morning paper. The newspaper has carried consternation among existing editors and proprietors wherever it has found its way. The Second International Orientalist Congress, held this year at London, England, was opened by Samuel Birch of the British Museum with an interesting inaugural address. In speaking of the extensive recent discoveries throughout the East, Birch noticed the curious fact that the prosecution of Oriental discovery depends for its success and even for its existence as a branch of active enquiry on continuous excavation.

The article focuses on the political and social conditions of various parts of the world. Last Thursday the U.S. Federal Commission on Industrial Relations was taking testimony on the subject of child labor in the tenements. The representative of an association of garment manufacturers was asked what precautions were observed by employers in distributing work to be done outside of the shop. He replied that such outside work was sent only to duly licensed places under inspection by the State. It may be chance, or it may be another sign of the quickened self-consciousness which has come to English workingmen in recent years, that two of the widely discussed books of the literary season in England should be by workingmen and concerned with the life of the workers.

The article focuses on the conception of the nuclear theory in 1911 by Ernest Rutherford, a physics professor at the University of Manchester in Manchester, England. When Rutherford published a paper on the nuclear atom, his main concern was to account for the results of a series of experiments on the bombardment of metal foils with beams of particles. However, the birth of the nuclear atom did not generate much interest among physicists during the period. Since then, several books dealing with the nuclear atom have been published, but only a minimal mention of Rutherford's contribution has been made.

Lord Morley of Blackburn, the honest John Morley of old, we now discover, left a memorandum among his papers, telling the story of his resignation from the Asquith Government at the outbreak of the World War. This has just been published by his nephew and literary executor, Guy Morley. Short as it is, the memorandum is indeed weighty and illuminating. But once the die was cast, we are told Lord Morley felt that no advantage could be gained from public utterances. He was therefore content to write down for posterity the principles, opinions, and impressions on which he acted.

The article discusses about revelations of the extent of Nazi intrigue that have started spy hunts in many neutral capitals. On April 13, 1940, the Berlin press broke out in banner headlines asking, on the strength of a report attributed to the "London correspondent" of the Washington "Star," whether British invasion of Holland was imminent. Simultaneously the German Foreign Office issued a warning to neutrals apparently based on the same article. On investigation it turned out that the story quoted was not the work of the Star's London correspondent but that of Constantine Brown, who contributes a regular column to the paper on international affairs.

The article presents information about various political and social developments in the U.S. Amidst general enthusiasm, England grants a constitution and dominion status to Malta. The reason may be that Malta, though even more ancient than Ireland, having been under British rule only since 1814, has not had time to be disorderly. John R. Thompson of Chicago, the owner of a string of restaurants which bear his name, has inserted an advertisement in the Chicago papers offering one thousand dollars to anyone who will give him one good reason for the private manufacture of revolvers in the U.S. and for the use of the mails by the manufacturers.

This article presents information on political, economic and social issues. The refusal of the English Government to allow Newfoundland, apart from Canada, to negotiate a trade convention with the United States is but an added embarrassment in what was already a complicated and difficult question. The fine of $5,000 imposed by the English court upon the London correspondent of a New York paper, for sending a scandalous and false "special cable despatch" to the U.S. about an actress, is likely to have a depressing effect upon a flourishing international newspaper industry.

The article gives information on various socio-political issues of the different parts of the world. The Army Bill passed the U.S. House on Thursday by a vote of 166 to 133, a number of Democrats voting in the affirmative. A writer in the Nineteenth Century, attracted by the statement in a London paper that "industrial casualty lists of killed and wounded workmen in England show a heavier expenditure of life than that revealed by the war lists," has subjected the casualties of war and of industry to accurate statistical measurement.
