...whacked a bottle of champagne on one of the goal posts, 500 bewildered natives, most of whom had never seen a football game except in the newsreels, watched the Sourdoughs beat the Baranofs, 6-to-0. The Gold Bowl was a cinder-strewn field, frozen sandpaper-rough. But nobody bled much. The players, onetime U. S. college footballers living in Alaska, were dressed in uniforms donated by the University of Washington...
...train at Bled, Yugoslavia, last week hopped Premier George Kiosseivanoff, of Bulgaria. This Balkan statesman had just visited Berlin, where he had passed through flag-lined streets, been put up at sumptuous Bellevue Castle and been feasted by Fuhrer Hitler at the Chancellery. At Bled, a Yugoslav summer resort, M. Kiosseivanoff had a reception less toney, but just as friendly. High point of his stop-over was a visit to Castle Brno, where he chatted long and amiably with the polished, cultured Prince Paul, First Regent of Yugoslavia...
...strikers and strikebreakers together. Employe Tinkler protested, but Japanese marines batted him over the skull with a gun-butt. What happened next is not clear.

Price cuts that bring increased orders are good business according to the philosophy which Henry Ford made famous and Edsel Ford now practices. But in spite of last week's cuts, steel production fell this week to 45.4% (last week 47%, fortnight ago 49%). Unless more business follows...
Undaunted, Drs. Steinberg & Brown invited the meeting to the University of Toronto laboratories where they bled a rabbit. Without oxalic acid the rabbit's blood coagulated in two minutes, 29 seconds. With oxalic acid, the blood coagulated in one minute, 29 seconds. But still the skeptical scientists claimed that oxalic acid was poisonous. Dr. Brown promptly rolled up his sleeve, displayed an arm pockmarked from hundreds of injections, brandished a hypodermic needle. When no one volunteered to give him an injection of the acid, he gave himself a standard dose, thus convinced his timid colleagues that the acid...
