Critics moving diffidently among the silk hats of the gentry approved Augustus John's state portrait of white-chinned Viscount d'Abernon (Argentine Trade Mission, TIME, Sept. 23, 1929) in the red robes of the Bath, Sir John Lavery's state portrait of mutton-chop-whiskered Lord Lonsdale in the blue robes of the Garter, the ever popular sporting pictures of A. J. Munnings. World wide depression, they noted, had a marked effect in reducing the number of large statues on view...
...some Soviet timber is cut by "forced labor," but of a peculiar kind. Diarist Knickerbocker reported that these cutters appear to receive the same wages as other Soviet woodsmen. They are forced not to chop wood but to live in certain forest regions where such labor is the only sort in demand...

Lanky Shields was by far the more polished performer, his backhand often acing Doeg's serve, which had little threat for him, down the sidelines. But Doeg, nerveless at all times, continued to chop and drive, scoring well with his net and ground shots. The fourth set was the longest ever played in the final of a U. S. singles title match. Doeg won 16-14, bringing California her first singles championship since 1919 when small William Johnston, who three months ago entered a sanitarium...
