...Noted that Sir John Simon, "the Empire's Highest Feed Lawyer" did not forget that he is now Home Secretary, having been demoted from Foreign Secretary. Sir John made his debut in Home Affairs on the issue of chain letters, a racket now spreading from the U. S. throughout Great Britain. Famed for his ability to speak learnedly on any subject without committing himself to either side, the Home Secretary toyed with the question whether in Great Britain chain letters are legal or illegal. "I may observe," said the Great Lawyer, "that certain types of snowball schemes, to which chain...
Such was the debut of dynamic, 58-year-old Soprano Mary Garden as an operatic coach, at Chicago Musical College.

Although Syracuse is making its debut, Jim Ten Eyck's 33 years of coaching are pretty good insurance that the Ithacan eights will not fail to give the more seasoned outfits plenty to worry about. Cornell, which lost last week to the powerful Midy shell, is very much in the running in spite of its defeat since the Navy oarsmen are conceded to be among the best in Eastern racing circles, while Tech although beaten last Saturday by Harvard over the same course, has been strengthened by the return of its stroke, Guy Haines, son of the Tech coach...
