...jail sentence for purchasers of Japanese products. Mr. Howard, who provided the convention's only excitement, was out of order in speaking up at all in Denver, for the reason that the convention refused to seat him. So far he has successfully kept one foot in each Labor camp-by being both secretary of C. I. O. and head of a union which is in good A. F. of L. standing. His Typographers are pretty C. I. O.-minded but his C. I. O. connection is purely personal. The charge against Mr. Howard last week was the deadly labor...
...weeks later with two dogs and a native hunter Dr. Chapin walked out of a little Congo mining camp into the jungle. The dogs flushed a pair of birds, the native fired, the male of the pair dropped to the ground. It was Dr. Chapin's long-sought bird. Of the pheasant family, it was feathered in metallic blacks, blues, greens, reds, had a long pink neck, small head, a curious, strawlike tuft protruding from its forehead. He named it "Congo Peacock,'' soon learned it was fairly common, traveled in pairs, but lived only in virgin jungle...
Meanwhile last week Mormonism, which unlike Episcopalianism is always an unobtrusively but persistently missionizing faith (see col. 1), set up camp for the first time in a long-neglected corner of the vineyard, New England. In Boston last week arrived Dr. Carl Ferdinand Eyring, onetime physics professor at Brigham Young University, to be first president of the New England Mormon Mission. He found that some 3,000 New Englanders were already Latter-day Saints. President Eyring set up headquarters in a house in Cambridge, hired the old, staid Cantabrigia Club (women) for Sunday meetings. With him he brought 20 young...
...stealing a march on 1937's automobile shows which will open at the end of October, Manhattan's first big all-trailer show appeared last week in Manhattan's ugly old brownstone 71st Regiment Armory. Twenty-four trailers, from a one-wheel duck hunter's camp to de luxe three-wheelers with bath, were parked on the Armory floor; outside, too big to trundle through the Armory's great doors, stood a shingle-roofed, imitation brick house on wheels. For seven days at the rate of about 100 an hour some 10,000 trailer-minded...
...Manhattan last week, while weary white wings swept up the last piles of debris from the streets and puffy-eyed barmen went home to catch up on their sleep, the American Legion and its camp-followers scattered to their homes (see p. 12). Manhattan's visitors last week were estimated as high as 500,000, spent about $6,500,000. But when most cinemansion box offices came to count up their receipts they disgustedly found their weekly grosses were not above par but below it. Milling crowds, jammed doorways, the continuous free street show put on by the anticking...
