...vivid and varied spectacle, the Aquacade Revue is almost certain to win first place in the Fair's entertainment list. Ashore, Crooners Frances Williams and Morton Downey blare out tunes good & bad while hordes of gay, limbsome "aquafemmes" prance and promenade. Afloat Swimmers Eleanor Holm and Johnny Weissmuller do a kind of aquatic waltz to music while "aquabelles" and "aquabeaux" weave patterned water ballets.

For six days Envoy Richberg cooled his heels, diplomatically saying little and not denying reports that he would propose a compromise whereby the companies would operate the wells for the Mexican Government.

The vast and disciplined mob, moving across the Red Square wave on wave, took up each slogan as it was rolled out by the loudspeaker and enthusiastically shouted it in chorus...
Spouting such claims in a rival blare of oratory is not the only string to the chains' bow. A. & P. pays an average of $30 a week to managers and clerks, compared to the Department of Labor's figure of $22 for all retail stores. In their Public Statement in September the Brothers Hartford declared that passage of the Patman bill would put 1,000,000 men out of work. Meanwhile, with little fanfare, A. & P. agreed to place all its outside printing contracts in union shops. Promptly the A. F. of L. announced that it was against...
