...dispatch from Mexico telling "of Lindbergh slaying an antelope from an airplane in Mexico." This statement appeared widely in the daily press. OUTDOOR LIFE did not believe this statement. Amongst hunters it is not considered sporting to use such advanced mechanical aids in the actual taking of game. Col. Lindbergh certainly stands as the embodiment of American ideals of sportsmanship. Consequently we investigated the report The newspaper reporter, as is common in stories about wild animals, had considered the romance of the fancied of more news value than the actual fact. Apparently Col. Lindbergh did not shoot the antelope from...
When the Public Lands Committee of the Senate was trying, last year, to find out what became, in 1921, of the profits of the Continental Trading Co. (side-spout of the Teapot Dome oil mess), it asked Col. Robert W. Stewart, chief of the Standard Oil Co. of Indiana and stout friend of Oilman Sinclair, if he had "received" any of the Continental profits. "No," answered Oilman Stewart. He declined to say if he knew anyone who did "receive" the profits. For his silence the Senate indicted Col. Stewart for contempt. Also having learned that one-fourth of the Continental...
Acquitted, last spring, of contempt, Col. Stewart went on trial for perjury last month. Last week, again, he was acquitted, or at least "aquibbled."

Able theorizer Col. Leonard Porter Ayres of Cleveland, stubbornest bear, again prophesied a market break. Last summer (TIME, July 23) Economist Ayres saw the stockmarket as "a great national bet against the continuation of high interest rates, and since the Federal Reserve authorities can hardly reverse their policies . . . the decision will probably be against the stockmarket with ... a serious decline in stock prices before the end of the year." With only six weeks of the year left, Economist Ayres last week failed to mention the Federal Reserve, was far less emphatic, based his bearish innuendoes on precedent. He noted...
...Capt. Joseph Medill Patterson as "the leading wet publisher in America." He is as outspoken as a wealthy publisher can be; and furthermore his Liberty, Chicago Tribune and New York Daily News are read by more than 4,000,000 people. His partner in these enterprises is his cousin. Col. Robert Rutherford McCormick. The two men are not one in editorial policy. Capt. Patterson, whose chief interest is the New York Daily News, supported Alfred Emanuel Smith in the campaign; every day, during the two months before election, the Daily News said on its editorial page...
