Our growth of knowledge of the planetary system shows that everything is governed by one system of law. Order permeates all space which leads us to postulate the existence of some great being who controls...
From elaborate exhibits in museum and department store to window displays in cheap furniture shops, "modern decorative art" has been thrust at last upon the U. S. public.

Stalin has triumphed over Trotsky and his chief...

Paternal Amadeo Peter Giannini, creator of Bancitaly, fears speculation in his stocks, dislikes inflated values, foresaw the bear raid which last spring brought Bancitaly crashing from 223 to a low of 100. At in, Wall Street holds Bancitaly sound, unlikely to suffer another shakedown...
