Cuba. Here Secretary Hull did not stop, but when the ship to which he had transferred, the U. S. cruiser Richmond, reached Key West, he had a long two-hour conference with Acting Ambassador Caffery on Cuban affairs. Speeding to Washington, Mr. Hull gave correspondents to understand that the new Cuban regime would soon be recognized...

...ship was the biggest that could possibly be squeezed in. At their Brooklyn. N. Y. plant the Wheelers proceeded to build a 54-footer, serenely aware that nobody could steal the show from them. With salty, side-whiskered Father Howard Ernest Wheeler looking on, the big cruiser, a yacht-like affair with flying bridge and twin screws, was warped into place with less than a foot to spare. Crowds stood in line to go aboard and gape at her two staterooms with yellow brocaded bedspreads; her tiled shower with hot and cold water; her three toilets, her spacious saloon...
