...barbaric land where tribal loyalties are the strongest bond, the person of the King may be of paramount significance. Had swart, wiry little King Amanullah been assassinated, neither his phlegmatic 280-pound brother, or another brother who is insane, or the boy Crown Prince Rahmatullah (TIME, Sept. 17) could have saved the dynasty of Durani. But Amanullah was not dead. Presently he came speeding by motor car into Kandahar, "Second City of the Realm," after encountering no opposition from the bandits who, stupid, seemed to think that when a king has abdicated he is going to stay abdicated...
...Chicago offers an excellent recent specimen of a well-grown and perfectly-formed dry cleaning racket. An organization known as the Chicago Master Cleaners' and Dyers' Association had acquired almost a monopoly in Chicago dyeing and cleaning. Members paid a $500 initiation fee and put up a $5,000 bond as a "guarantee of good faith." Bombing, slugging, sabotage, strike-fomenting and other standard methods were used to secure membership; eventually 92 members were lined up. They paid the association a general levy of 2% of gross business. There was also a subordinate organization comprising some 10,000 "little fellows...
...withdrawal of votes in the election of Phillips Brooks House officers from the College electorate to place them in a constituency of men who are connected with the House at least by a slender bond of interest is, in a sense, a declaration of independence. College sentiment toward the P. B. H. has changed in the past few years to a disinterest that refuses to contribute time and effort to its programs. More than a denial to the College of the voting privilege which it has long abused, the latest step of the P. B. H. cabinet is a complete...
...Guaranty. Reaching the billion dollar class and thereby joining the National City and Chase National of Manhattan and the Continental Illinois Bank & Trust Co. of Chicago in distinction was something that Guaranty officers, clerks, bond salesmen and janitors had expected. It was something they had striven for since last September when their resources were $838,129,668. Last week deposits alone were $842,358,215. Capital of $40,000,000, surplus of $50,000,000, undivided profits of $13,377,018 and other items (notably $96,819,425 in trade acceptances) made up the $1,052,211,198. Fewer than...
...with the rich bank to become a member of the (perhaps) richer Guggenheim Bros. firm. The Guaranty's resources then were just about a half-billion. But the War was on in Europe. Morton died; Hemphill had become chairman, Mr. Sabin president. Under President Sabin the Guaranty sold vast bond issues for the Allies, later vaster ones for the U. S. The War over, he organized his bond department as the Guaranty Co., owned wholly by bank stockholders. The bank was yearly becoming bigger & bigger, richer & richer...
