...Chinese War Lord, burly in figure, greasy but intelligent of face, and with a thin mustache is General Han Fu-chu. Japanese have $100,000,000 invested in the Chinese province of which he is Governor, famed Shantung which juts out into the Yellow Sea facing Japan like the chin of a placid prize-fighter all ready to be clouted. Last week Japanese bombing planes continued to hurl at Tsinan. Han's capital, not death-dealing bombs but attractive offers encased in protective lengths of bamboo which rattled enticingly as they struck the Gobbles. Japanese businessmen with Shantung investments...
High above the pine slopes of South Dakota's Mount Rushmore one day last week a great U. S. flag slowly furled, disclosing the stone carved face of Abraham Lincoln as it would have appeared had that President been 465 ft. tall. Measuring 66 ft. from chin to crown, Lincoln's was the third face to be unveiled in Mountain Carver Gutzon Borglum's huge and heroic Mount Rushmore Memorial. George Washington's was dedicated in 1927 at ceremonies attended by President Coolidge, Thomas Jefferson's last year before President Roosevelt. Last week the chief...
...along the search-lit walls of the turreted medieval city. Most spectacular: 140,000 brown-uniformed Storm Troopers lined up column upon column on the Zeppelin Meadow. Flanked along the sides of the floodlit arena crammed 250,000 spectators.

Flames leaped from cressets atop the corners of the stadium, 250 army searchlights pierced 3.000 feet in the sky to make a gleaming square of light...
...bullets of his confreres and shrewd enough to evade the police, there is one pitfall left for him: the income-tax laws. Of all the known criminals currently at large in the U. S., none is tougher or shrewder than roly-poly, button-eyed little Johnny Torrio, whose chin was almost shot away in Chicago in 1925, whose skill in evading the police goes back to before 1920 when he belonged to Brooklyn's famed Five Points Gang. Last week, in New York City, a Federal grand jury that had worked on the case for three months finally indicted...
Argument at Zurich was between those who believed that any scheme to divide the Holy Land was morally wrong, and those led by the world's best-known Zionist, chin-bearded Dr. Chaim Weizmann, who were willing to accept the British scheme as a basis for bargaining, feeling that half a cake was better than none. Near week's end the matter was put to a vote among the committee on political resolutions. Two resolutions were presented, one favoring the British scheme-with reservations, the other unalterably opposed. On a roll call delegates voted "Aleph...
