...notable characters to emerge from what uppity Great Britons call ''Down Under." Seven short years ago the Hon. Mr. Lyons was merely Premier of Tasmania, an island which is down under Australia and referred to by Australians as "The Speck." From this insignificant island Joe Lyons bounded with Horatio Alger rapidity to the Premiership (January 1932) of busted Australia whose national credit he proceeded to restore. Australian-born, the Premier and Mrs. Lyons had never been outside Australia in their lives until this spring when they sailed for the Royal Jubilee to ride at London in a State carriage behind...
...companions could not. The Britons boasted of their many choral societies and forthwith choral singing became bustling Emma Fisher's platform. Last spring she visited Detroit, talked to influential citizens whose enthusiasm grew strong when the Juilliard Foundation offered to lend $5,000, when Mrs. Frederick M.

Liggett's career has enough forge-ahead stuff for three Horatio Alger stories. His Scottish-Dutch ancestry gave him a big body, unbounded assurance, tireless ambition.

Overnight he painted long rows of red footsteps leading to his shop, was arrested...
...Seven-year-old son of Milesius-Clarice, he was one of the best steeplechasers in the U. S. Joseph E. Widener bought him in England as a yearling, raced him abroad for two years, shipped him to the U. S., had him trained for steeplechasing, sold him to Fred Alger for $8,000 last June. When Owner Alger's trainer observed that Azucar was outdistancing flat-racers in workouts, they decided to race him at Saratoga. He had won $12,000 in flat racing up to last week. His 27-year-old owner, grandson of President McKinley...
