Besides a fine bathing beach, Santa Monica, Calif. also boasts an extraordinary Mayor named William H. Carter and a large imposing public library. Last week Mayor Carter went into the Santa Monica public library to re-open what in a fortnight has become the gaudiest main reading room on the Pacific Coast and to dedicate the largest mural finished under PWAP. Should a reader's attention wander, he would be instantly confronted by brilliantly colored likenesses of such assorted characters as Boccaccio, Gautama Buddha, Mayor Carter of Santa Monica, Adam & Eve, Cinemactress Gloria Stuart, Bach, Michael Faraday, Senator John...

How frivolous this series has become was demonstrated by the fact that one of the members of the West's team last week at The Orange Lawn Tennis Club was Wilmer Hines of Columbia, S.

Another messenger leaped...

Beneath his scowling brows and knifelike nose twitched a small black "Hitler mustache." Not in Nazi regalia, the hero wore a Palm Beach suit and his perspiring head gleamed hatless in the sun. Snapping to attention, the Special Guard saluted His Excellency Julius Streicher. Governor of Franconia, Big Boss of Old Nurnberg and idol of all Germans who hate Jews. In his heavy right fist Herr Streicher gripped his personal trademark, the riding whip...
That night over a nationwide hook-up Senators. Congressmen, aviation and radio celebrities joined in a memorial broadcast to two of Oklahoma's favorite sons. Big, tough Colonel Roscoe Turner wept into the microphone. In Fairbanks Author Rex Beach said: "This is the blackest day Alaska has known." In Wall Street the stock of Fox Films, which had just agreed to pay Will Rogers $8,000 a week, sold off 1 1/4 points...
