...blessed. . . ." Then & there Rt. Rev. William David ("Willie"') O'Brien became a bishop, auxiliary of Chicago and titular of Calinda. Later, taking crozier (crook), Episcopal ring, Book of Gospels, mitre and gloves he walked with his consecrators through the Cathedral, blessing his flock, returning to the altar to utter thrice a well-wishing Ad multos annos. In all the great crowd none beamed with greater pride upon the consecration of Bishop O'Brien than his 73-year-old foster mother who had been rolled in for the ceremony in a wheel chair...

...Akron, O., Marvin Shearer, 70, surveyed with pride a timepiece he had completed after ten years. Big as a horse-van, more ornate than a cathedral altar, the monstrous gimcrack every hour tells the time in 27 different cities, plays a pipe organ, sings, talks. At the hour of Lincoln's funeral it intones the Gettysburg address. For the memory of President Garfield it plays "Gates Ajar," for President McKinley "Lead Kindly Light." An incidental ornament is a toy electric train...
