...dispatched to Alcoa were three companies of National Guardsmen. The Alcoa strike was called last May by the A. F. of L.'s Aluminum Workers of America in an attempt to end the wage differential between Aluminum Co.'s Northern and Southern plants (a 63?-per-hour base rate in Pennsylvania as against 43? in Tennessee). The union's offer to arbitrate was turned down flat by the company. At week's end after William Green dispatched his personal aide, Francis T. Dillon, to investigate, the Alcoa local voted to return to work, and the local...
...repair the Nationals' shattered front next inning came great Carl Hubbell, who pitched the Giants to a 1936 pennant. Cheered as he strode to the mound, Hubbell proceeded to yield a walk and a one-base hit. Another American flied out, another struck out. Stepping to bat with two out and two on base, "Red" Rolfe of the Yankees then walloped a three-base hit, scoring himself a minute later. Sadly Manager Terry removed the crushed Hubbell from the game.

Progenitors. On the first evening of the Jamboree one of its three compulsory functions was held.*Some 28,000 boys and Scout Masters crowded around the base of the Washington Monument for the lighting of the Camp Fire.

Narrator of the tale is one Langdon Towne, whose great ambition is to be an artist and paint pictures of Indians. But the real hero is Major Robert Rogers of Rogers' Rangers. Langdon was a bright lad and did so well at school that his family scraped together enough money to send him to Harvard College. A rum party in his room brought his brief career there to a close; his disappointed father...
Goal was San Francisco, but fog shut in, the flyers grew exhausted, and finally they turned back from Eugene, Ore., landed at Pearson Field, the Army's air base at Vancouver, Wash. Bewhiskered, red-eyed and tottery, they stumbled from their plane, having covered about 5,288 miles in 63 hr., 17 min.-second longest flight in history* and one of the most important in charting an uncharted airway. The trio dragged themselves to the home of Brigadier General George C. Marshall, field commandant, drank his cognac, gobbled his breakfast, used his razor, then fell into his beds while...
