...rang up the Admiralty, asked First Lord Albert Victor Alexander to step over. When he came and approved the Hoover offer Scot MacDonald hesitated no longer. For more than a month he had been unable to say definitely whether or not he would visit President Hoover in Washington to cement the naval bond. Now correspondents were called in, were told that when the Berengaria noses out of Southampton on Sept. 28 she will carry apple-cheeked Miss Ishbel MacDonald and her potent sire...
When a careful man builds his house, he itemizes his actual expenditures-so much for land, so much for lumber, for brick, for cement, for hardware & plumbing. Last fortnight the Federal Power Commission, through its Solicitor Charles A. Russell, ordered power companies seeking U. S. licenses to construct plants along navigable U.

Surgeon Squibb did not live to see this new experiment. He sold his business some 25 years ago to the late Lowell M. Palmer, potent lime and cement man, who installed his son-in-law, Theodore Weicker, to run it. Later, Mr. Palmer's able son, Carleton H.
