Familiar to U. S. observers were three names in the new cabinet: Minister of Defense Vaugoin, reorganizer of the Austrian army, firm friend and ardent follower of Policeman Schober; Minister of Commerce Hainisch, Austria's beloved, white-bearded onetime President, whose pet cow Bella is world famed; and Minister of Finance Redlich. When the name of the new Minister of Finance was announced to Austrian newsgatherers, Dr. Josef Redlich, famed jurist, historian, lecturer, was at Cambridge, Mass., comfortably ensconced as Charles Stebbins Fairchild Professor of Comparative Public Law at Harvard University. Professor Redlich has already served a term...
...Secretary of Commerce Lamont, F. K. Heath, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury; Mrs. Jean Large, sister of Mrs. Hoover, and her two children; Charles Kellogg Field, college classmate of the President; James Putnam Goodrich, one-time (1917-21) Governor of Indiana; and, most noteworthy of all, William Joseph Donovan, ardent Hooverite in last year's campaign for whom the President did not find a cabinet position and who refused the governorship of the Philippines.

...Appleby is much older than she and, though he is the town's richest and noisiest citizen, his love-making under the trees is too unctuous for pretty, sensitive Joyce.

To the eternal glory of her family and the Manchu race, Ye-Ho-No-La became one of the 30 concubines attending the young Emperor of China. But the latter was a degenerate. His energy was spent in painting the town violet. Ye-Ho-No-La's problem was to convert the imperial energy to her own use, to induce...
...nomination easily seemed to be Mr. Coleman's. But in Washington Secretary of State Stimson and House Leader Tilson, ardent Yale men both, became befuddled on their political dates. They mistook the Minnesota primary for the election. They wrote letters to Minneapolis endorsing their good old friend "Pudge" Heffelfinger. The Stimson-Tilson letters failed by a wide margin to nominate Candidate Heffelfinger. But they did switch enough votes to him from Candidate Coleman to permit Candidate Nolan to capture the nomination and the election which followed last week. It was a sorry business?the Administration's man being accidentally stepped...
