...fortress-like metal refinery in Brooklyn, the big steel trucking door was being closed one day last week when five desperadoes rushed in, disarmed the manager, bound ten employes together with heavy rope. Two of the gunmen guarded their prisoners, the other three rifled the plant of 30 bars of silver-gold-platinum-and-iridium alloy worth $50,000, took a rifle from the wall and $200 from the cash register for good measure. Then they vanished...
...party, hungry for scalps. Between the noble savagery of the Osages and the greed of half-civilized whites nibbling at the Reservation's borders, Major Miles (all Indian Agents were automatically ''Major") had his hands full.

Warner Baxter performs with the dignity proper to a patriot aware that he is dead. Ablest things in the picture are probably the work of its director, William Dieterle, and the shot of a crowd which has heard about the Captain...
...last week were treated to one of those dramatic surprises that their industry so often produces, so dearly loves. Gasoline prices had dropped about 3? along the Atlantic seaboard. No profit remained in refining. It looked as if crude prices were bound to fall (TIME, Oct. 3). Then the Texas Railroad Commission ordered a 13% reduction in the State's output. It seemed that a price cut could be averted for a while...
