During the late fall of 1927 an Eskimo youth found a piece of heavy, bright metal in an unnamed creek (later called Fox Gulch) about nine miles south from the southerly side of Goodnews Bay, on lower Kuskokwim Bay, and gave this nugget to Chas. Thorsen, a gold minor of that section. Thorsen sent some to the Alaska School of Mines, Fairbanks for analyzing and was informed that the sample was a very good grade of crude platinum. Of course this information leaked out another stampede was under way. During the next year a number of other "strikes" were made...
...people saw their handsome young King Leopold III emerge decisively last week from his grief-stricken brooding over the death of his beloved Queen Astrid (TIME. Sept. 9, 1935) and strike a heavy blow of statecraft which resounded from one end of Europe to the other. To the neat, bright Royal Palace in Brussels were summoned Premier-Professor Paul van Zeeland and Cabinet to hear an historic declaration reversing the post-War foreign policy of Belgium. By boldly assuming full responsibility for what he said, His Majesty raised his declaration above the cockpit of party politics, placed...
Many times a Carnegie exhibitor, Leon Kroll had never won a Carnegie Prize until last week. Famed for his nudes, his bright, formalized landscapes, Artist Kroll has hung canvases at Pittsburgh's great international show for 23 years, took an Honorable Mention in 1925, was even a member of the Carnegie jury in 1929.

Last week that proved sufficient to take his country's highest painting honor...

An arresting point in the painting is the incongruity of the shabbily dressed man holding clumsily the luxurious and fragile flowers, whose bright red contrast strongly with the dingy black and brown of his dress. This red and the red of the handkerchief in his pocket put life into the scene and bring the whole into focus...
...entirely different type is the work "Central Park" by George Grosz. A true modernist he likes broad splashes of bright colors and brings out his ideas from impressions created by these. An other differing type also are the bitter satires of "The Senate" by William Gropper and of "Landscape Near Chicago" by Aaron Bohrod. Both of these works bring out the grotesque and the absurd in American life...
