Roslyn Heights, N. Y. The World Almanac's Editor Eastman Irvine promises no immediate change, although he hopes a brand-new Almanac cover will celebrate next year's World's Fair. He disclaims intentions of accuracy for his map, says it should be considered no more than a trade-mark...
Guaranty's Case, With the aplomb of a man at the head of the third largest U. S. bank, Guaranty Chairman William Chapman Potter's affidavit retorts: "I resent these allegations in the complaint and in Mr. Young's affidavit and brand them as utterly false.

In the 'nineties and the early 1900s Pittsburgh boasted a respectable symphony orchestra under genial Victor Herbert (Babes in Toyland, Kiss Me Again), and sternly mustached Emil Paur.
