When $1,000,000 in bond forgeries were found in Kansas, when they were traced to Ronald Finney, son of Warren Wesley Finney, one of Emporia's leading citizens, when the elder Finney's banks were closed and when Tom Boyd, Kansas State Treasurer, was ousted no one at first suspected what a grapevine of financial crockery was about to be uncovered. Strong was Emporia's faith in the elder Finney's honesty. By last week all that had changed...
Fearful lest a declining dollar damage the bond market on which the Government counts heavily to finance the New Deal, vacationing Secretary of the Treasury Woodin piped: "I must seriously criticize Dr. Sprague for the assertion he practically makes that the U.

Today, Mr. Fox, Mr. Wiggin and Mr. Hoover have the common bond of being ex-presidents and Mr. Dodge is an ex-vice president.

Its hero, Bill Bailey (Bancroft), is a bluff bondsman who gets into difficulties with his underworld associates when, to pay back a bank thief for stealing his girl, he makes less sympathetic arrangements than usual. It is notable less for Bancroft's contribution than for its villainess (Frances Dee), a pretty, well-mannered debutante who is also a masochist, a kleptomaniac and an exhibitionist. Good shot...
Between chilly field trips and genial banquets the birdmen found time to read each other some 60 papers. Dr. James Bond (Philadelphia) lashed out at ''so-called scientists and collectors" who have almost annihilated some species of birds. Dr. Clarence Cottam (U. S. Biological Survey) heightened the birdmen's concern over the decrease in North American waterfowl (see col. 3) by telling them how brant and Canada geese have suffered from the strange disappearance of eel grass during the past three years (TIME...
