...with telephone number 4-1617 are curious to know how this number was selected by Artist Artzybasheff for your cover...
...courage to invest regularly in blue chips all during the Depression and since could hardly have escaped making a fortune. Last week, to thousands of curious investors, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith proved this in a booth in Manhattan's Grand Central Station. There a whirring IBM Cardatype accounting machine figured what would have happened had an investor put an average $500 a year into a stock every year since 1929-about $15,500 in all. Had he bought Alcoa, his shares would be worth $115,850, and he would have pocketed $17,158 in cash dividends-a paper...
Police were curious about the fact that several people closely connected with the Lacazes had died suddenly. Domenica's first husband, wealthy Art Collector Paul Guillaume, was first thought to have drowned, and then was said to have died of paratyphoid.

Last week he was once again proving this in his most ambitious project: Salton City, 150 miles southeast of Los Angeles. By the desert's curious standards, Salton City is something of a bargain. Though the summer heat is high (up to 125° F.) and the land is low (234 ft. below sea level), there is water and there is a major highway (U.S. 99). By car and plane, buyers hustled to the sun-struck sands and low-lying, spiny, green clumps of greasewood along the shores of 30-mile-long Salton Sea. There they plunked down...
