...rank, uniform and pay, are 125 chaplains. (The rest of some 1,600 full and part-time chaplains are with the CCC, National Guard, Reserve Corps.) There are no Jewish army chaplains because there are not enough Jews in the peacetime establishment; a church to be represented must claim at least 1% of the army on its rolls. Though most chaplains are Protestant, the single church supplying the most men is the Roman Catholic, with 31 chaplains. Last week for the first time in the 146 years of the chaplaincy, a Catholic made ready to hold office for four years...
...that non-Californian resident refused to attend the trial, and the defense produced a statement by him that the Fleishhacker deal was in entire good faith. Balance of the defense, presided over by famed & fast-thinking Lawyer John Francis Neylan, longtime Hearst adviser, was based principally on the claim that Herbert Fleishhacker never imposed a repayment condition upon any of the loans made to the Bardes, that he had never received any secret emoluments under the guise of salary or dividends.

When, by the Litvinov Agreement of 1933, Russia turned over its accounts to the U. S., the Guaranty Trust claimed...
...elephant since Phineas Taylor Barnum's Jumbo has had a legitimate claim to the distinction of being more famous than all others of the species. And no world-wide tabulation is kept of ages of elephants, which live to be about 120. But Babe, aged more than 100, may well have been the oldest in captivity. And as for fame, certain it is that she trouped with Jumbo, worked for and outlived Showman Barnum, the Ringlings, and generations of circusgoers...
