...world must drink, and it is becoming apparent that it must, the Vagabond would have them drink a rarer vintage than that washed up on Portsmouth beach, the solitary epitaph of a rum runner. Mead was the drink of the gods upon Olympus long years ago; if it is good enough for them it is good enough for Harvard. In the far off days when Romans were like brothers Mead ran like water. Pliny has passed on to us the doubtful praise that "it had all the bad qualities of wine and none of the good"; but the Vagabond...
...last week Lightkeeper William Faulkner heard a crash far out in Cobequid Bay, Nova Scotia. Then came a noise like an explosion and cries for help. Faulkner ran out to the beach, roused neighboring fishermen. In the darkness they could see nothing; but again came the anguished shouts from the bay. The tide was out. For two miles from the beach stretched a sea of soft red mud on which no man could walk. For two hours the shouts could be heard while the watchers waited for the tide to rise. Just as a boat was floated, the shouts died...
Stout Irene Schoellkopf-Carman, fiftyish, wealthy onetime wife of the late Frank Barrett Carman and of Buffalo's millionaire C. P. Hugo Schoellkopf, was sued for $100,000 by one Courtland Erwin Conkwright, 27, handsome life guard at Long Beach, L. I.

He asked 20 weeks...

Even the "hardluck flyers," Socialite Hugh Herndon Jr. and oldtime Barnstormer Clyde Pangborn, flyers of two oceans, seemed to sense an anticlimax when they skidded their wheelless Bellanca monoplane into the airport at Wenatchee, Wash., 41 hr. after taking off from Samishiro Beach, 280 mi. north of Tokyo. Their troubles on the flight had been less than their troubles with the Japanese authorities in Tokyo (TIME, Sept. 28, et ante). Yet their flight, 4,500 mi., was one of the greatest long distance flights accomplished. They had crossed the last of the northern...
...outdo the greatest book houses. The Cosmopolitan stable of authors was expensively expanded until it included such prize exhibits as Louis Bromfield (reputedly under contract for five books at $60,000 a book), Erich Maria Remarque, Anita Loos, Fannie Hurst, Ruth Suckow, Vicki Baum, Colette, Rex Beach, besides such old Hearst standbys as Peter B. Kyne. Harry Leon Wilson, the late James Oliver Curwood. By taking over Cosmopolitan's contracts, Farrar & Rinehart stepped overnight from second rank to very first. Publisher Farrar was pleased, and well he might be, to be at 36 head of such an affair...
