...work through Washington's great heat, his Cabinet has remained dutifully by his side. In tropical garb-linen suits, white flannels, mohairs, panama hats, white shoes-they have trooped in and out of the White House to the semiweekly Cabinet meetings where they silently envied the President his cool quarters. When President Hoover fortnight ago publicly announced his intention to take his vacation this month in the Rocky Mountains, his official aides accepted that as notice of their release from the capital's torridity. First to leave on his vacation last week was Secretary of State Henry Lewis...
Fifteen major bond issues have been floated abroad since 1885 by the Mexican government and the Mexican National Railways (today an insolvent concern). Last week the grand total of these Mexican debts stood at $514,302,000 principal, plus $369,888,000 in accrued unpaid interest. Therefore in the cool Manhattan office of J. P. Morgan & Co. an agreement was signed by Senor Luis Montes De Oca, Mexican Finance Minister. By its terms Mexico's principal creditors (the International Committee of Bankers on Mexico, chairmanned by Thomas William Lamont) agree to accept a "very large" but unspecified...
Youngstown: "What'll you pay us for our property?" said grizzled old James Anson Campbell, founder-president of Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. to suave, cool-headed Eugene Gifford Grace, president of Bethlehem Steel Corp., one day last February.

Mr. Grace's testimony supplied many another lively item last week. He told...

Rodgers or his assistant would instantly snatch the Mace from its pedestal at the right of Speaker Longworth's chair and advance upon the hotheads. Such quarrels instantly and almost invariably cool. Probably apocryphal is the story that a Congress man once refused to cool, whereupon the quick-witted Sergeant-at-Arms placed the silver eagle's beak within a half-inch of the Congressman's nose and exclaimed: "Sit down or he'll peck...
After weeks of agitation and uncertainty eight potent officers of the Republican Party met Claudius Hart Huston, chairman of the Republican National Committee, at Washington headquarters last week. They were determined to wrestle him out of his job. Chairman Huston, calm and cool in white flannels, talked blandly, smiled disarmingly upon them from the head of a long shiny table. There was no wrestling. The eight potent Republicans departed, looking more sheepish than elephantine. Mr. Huston was still mahout. He might resign after the treaty session of the Senate?or he might not. The issue was as unsettled as ever...
