Toward the close of a meeting of the New England Council in Boston some weeks ago, up rose big, bald, beaked Milan A. Dickinson. He asked to speak, not as chairman of the Council's New Hampshire division, but as chairman of that State's press-badgered Recess Tax Commission which had tried and failed to introduce a State income tax. Said he, looking wickedly at the press table: "Nearly every paper in our State has preached as a cure-all for many of our ills-Economy. . . . Now I want to offer them the opportunity of doing some...
About two years ago able Correspondent Hubert R. Knickerbocker of the New York Evening Post was visited in Berlin by a bald Russian with a trowel beard- Vladimir Orloff, onetime Councillor of State in the Imperial Russian Government. From him Reporter Knickerbocker obtained a number of letters purporting to show that U. S.

To Chief Magistrate Corrigan's intense embarrassment, the 48 girls and eleven babes had all been released and returned to the Women's Court...
...tribulation. His personal friends urged one candidate while professional Republican politicians urged another for the appointment. Last week the deadlock was broken when the Hoover candidate withdrew and the President, with the goodwill of all sides, appointed a third man as U. S. District Attorney. He was plump, pink, bald, middle-aged George Zerden Medalie, who has a soft, husky voice and gentle brown eyes. Behind District Attorney Medalie's mild exterior, however, was a long and excellent record as a special prosecutor who knew how to send criminals to jail. But what the Senate wanted to know before...
...bald, white-mustached and be- spectacled man, whose red lips and rotund girth belied his 74 years, bent feverishly over a manuscript in Harvard's Widener Library one day last week, writing for all he was worth. Reluctantly he went home that evening, planning what he would do on the morrow. That night he suffered a cerebral hemorrhage. Next afternoon he was dead...
