...east wing of the White House runs a dark little tunnel under East Executive Avenue. Many times through this tunnel last week passed a thickset, youngish man with a big nose and eyes of clearest blue. He wore a linen suit. His teeth bit hard into a Benson & Hedges cigar. He walked fast. Out of the tunnel he skirted the rear portico of the White House (where the presidential kennels are), paced down the west colonnade, marched unannounced by a back door into the offices of the President of the U.

About him were the stars, the 70 "glorified" girls, the dance directors, technical men, wardrobe mistresses, musicians et al. of the forthcoming Follies, first in four years. With farewell whoops, the troupers trooped down the stairs to their special train of nine cars which carried them...
...foundries, tin-plate plants. Within a year $100,000,000 was dumped into this desolate Indiana waste and out of it by industrial magic rose Gary, great est single steel city in the U. S. A public demonstration occurred in July 1908, when, with the city finished, the first cigar-shaped ore boat nosed its way into Gary Harbor, unloaded its cargo, set the mills to thundering...
