...sent him to Oxford to finish his education. He was to come back to a literary career. But the first sight Peter saw as his ship entered Charleston Harbor was the shelling of a U. S. Navy ship by Charleston batteries. Peter, like his uncle, was Southern to the core, but he thought he was a Unionist too. While he watched the young hotheads race each other into uniform he took a newspaper job. Beautiful Damaris Gordon complicated his situation by appearing to prefer his rival, Captain Holcombe. When his editor cut his Race Week story to tatters, with Damaris...
Brave and British to the core is 19-year-old Mrs. Kenneth Pawley of Newchang on the Japanese South Manchuria Railway. Several weeks ago Chinese bandits kidnapped Mrs. Pawley (a bride of three months), her two dogs (an Irish setter and an Alsatian) and one Mr. Corkran who calls Mrs. Pawley "Tinko." Last week anxious friends received a grimy ransom note, demanding $100,000 mex. (about $30,000), failing which Mrs. Pawley's and Mr. Corkran's ears would be cut off. Appended was a postscript from Mrs. Pawley...

A band marched up playing "Hail, Hail the Gang's All Here." All in white, Peter P. Cappel, head of New York Jewelers Exchange Inc. and a generous Democrat, brought to the station three pretty girls with baskets of roses which they...
Buckminster Fuller talks no riddles when he says his dymaxion house "is not property to be owned, but a mechanical arrangement to be used." The new model has a fixed circular core, cased in a streamlined, pearshaped shield which swings with the wind, like a feed-tray for birds. The circular core, hung on a duraluminum mast planted on, not in, the ground, is lashed together by guy-wires on a system of triangular tensions, like an airplane. A square house piles up air pressure on the windward side, creates a vacuum on the leeward side, thus sucking the heat...
