...strike medals in their honor. Photographers and reporters flocked to the asylum. Was there anything they particularly wanted done? Yes. said the boys. Just make sure Babe Ruth heard about them. Following Saturday, Passaic's small heroes met some of their big heroes at the circus in Manhattan. Clyde Beatty. tamer of lions and tigers, shook their hands and gave autographs. Hugo Zacchini, the human cannonball, greeted them. Gene Tunney came over to say hello. Max Schmeling invited them to his training camp at Oak Ridge, N. J. Babe Ruth, who sent each boy a telegram, will have them...
...Clyde Beatty, who spends 15 minutes in the same cage with 16 lions and five tigers, definitely expects, sooner or later, to be publicly eviscerated. Last year he was hospitalized for three weeks after a cat got behind him. But most of the casualties in his cage are internecine, the lions ganging together to maul a lone tiger.

Of the $1,666,000,000 which 52 life insurance companies have invested in U. S. farm mortgages, $455,834,078 was sunk into the black soil of Iowa. Iowa farm mortgage holdings of the principal life insurance companies: Equitable of New York, $90,040,095; Metropolitan, $64,422,538; Equitable of Iowa, $50,098,679; Northwestern Mutual, $40,809,401; Bankers...
...citizen is under a legal obligation to bear arms in war. Many a U. S. religious leader, and a large section of the Christian Press, hold on the contrary that God's will is more binding. Notable were the cases of Rosika Schwimmer, Yale Professor Douglas Clyde Macintosh and Nurse Marie Averill Bland, aliens who were refused citizenship because they refused to promise unqualifiedly to bear arms (TIME, Jan. 25). Last week it looked as if they were to be joined by Rev. Thomas Frederick Rutledge Beale of St. Paul, Minn...
