Manhattan newspaper offices for the last three weeks have buzzed about a Hearst "raid" on feature writers of the Scripps-Howard World-Telegram. Over to Hearst went Fashion Writer Prunella Wood and Shopping Colyumist Alice Hughes. Last week it became known that Heywood Broun had received a Hearst offer, turned it down.

S. for the last four years but who has always, out of some childish nervousness, failed to do her best in important matches. Last fortnight Sarah Palfrey beat U. S. Champion Helen Jacobs...
...this juicy invitation was neither cooing Dorothy Dix nor mooing Heywood Broun. It was Anna Eleanor Roosevelt Roosevelt, first lady of the land, opening a Questions & Answers department for Woman's Home Companion. Crowell Publishing Co. will pay her $1,000 per month (estimated) for twelve months. Colyumist Roosevelt assured her readers that Woman's Home Companion Editor Gertrude B. Lane had "given me this page to do with exactly as I will...
