Good fellows, these guests from Paris, the Britons thought. Short, witty, cigar-chewing French Premier Andre Tardieu had never turned up in more engaging fettle. He and his huge, long-boned Finance Minister, Pierre Etienne Flandin, not only pleased Scot MacDonald by the crystal lucidity of their plans for rescuing Danubia from near bankruptcy but provoked him at a midnight session over Scotch and cigars to roars of midriff mirth which did his morale a world of good. Facing newsfolk just before M. Tardieu dashed back to Paris, dignified Scot MacDonald beamishly confessed, "We did overflow a bit at times...
...same cause, credit for discovery goes to Dr. Vincent. The disease is called variously Vincent's angina, trench mouth, ulcerated stomatitis, necrotic gingivitis. Two germs, which may be variant forms of the same microorganism, are always associated with trench mouth. One is a wriggly spirillum, the other a cigar-shaped bacillus. They take hold anywhere in the throat. Commonest sites of infection are gums and tonsils. "Trench mouth" refers primarily to the gum condition. The ulcers of this disease and the membranes which cover them are deceptive. They may resemble diphtheria, septic sore throat, syphilis. Bacteriological examination quickly differentiates...
Voluble Edward Stanlaw Jordan, president of Jordan Motor Car Co. (in receivership), waved a 5? cigar at a newsman in Cleveland and told of his impoverishment. "For a time I was simply crushed. I hardly knew what to do. If the news got around to the Mayfield Club or Pepper Pike Club that I had lost my step-ins, think what would happen to my social standing. . . .

...headed, he would have been very much like Floyd ("Babe"') Herman, outfielder for the Brooklyn Robins since 1927. Herman is celebrated for allowing fly-balls to drop on his head, for transforming a homerun into a triple play (by passing two other base-runners), for carrying a lighted cigar in his pocket. But, because he is a powerful batter and at times a competent fielder, he is by no means a liability to his team. Last week Babe Herman was the central figure in the most important baseball deal of the training season. Brooklyn's new manager...
Shrewd William Paley knew he had a diamond, but he did not know whether it was as big as the Ritz or just an ordinary diamond. He took three months off from the cigar business to find out. He tightened the contracts so that Columbia had an option on certain hours of its affiliates. In addition to cash, he gave the affiliates Columbia's sustaining programs free (National Broadcasting Co. charges for its unsponsored programs). He gathered 22 more stations into his network. Then he refused an offer of $1,500,000 by Paramount Publix Corp. for his company...
