...residence from California to New York. Lately, Mr. Hearst has been having his prodigiously scrambled possessions audited, consolidated, made liquid by a new set of exchequer chancellors (TIME, March 14, et ante). Last week, for reasons best known to his tax experts, William Randolph Hearst wrote a letter to Assessor W. M. Hollister of San Luis Obispo County, Calif. announcing that as of January 1 he had returned his legal residence to his San Simeon estate. Though he issued no detailed explanation of his return to native soil, the inference was that California would now be less expensive...

Winning royal gratitude for his work as Assessor-Extraordinary of Sweden's Royal Board of Mines and for his invention of a device for transporting ships overland, he was ennobled in 1719. In Sweden's Parliament he pioneered in fiscal reforms and liquor regulation. He knew nine languages, was an accomplished organist and Latin versifier, mastered three crafts and dabbled in four others. Finally in 1744, aged 57, he began talking with angels and spirits...
...Bishop Perry's assessor, Bishop Cook's duties will be far from strenuous, involving such functions as consecrations, dinners, graduations, cornerstone-layings which the Presiding Bishop is too busy to attend. There was speculation last week as to Bishop Cook's chances of eventually becoming Presiding Bishop.
