Since 1934, Cunard White Star has disposed of nine major vessels-Mduretania, Majestic, Olympic, Homeric, Doric, Oceanic, Calgaric, Adriatic, Albertic. It has built the Queen Mary and started slightly larger Hull 552. Still left is a gap in its fleet which Cunard last week announced will be filled with eight 30,000-to-40,000-ton motorships of an improved Georgic type, each to be given names ending in the traditional Cunard ia. The White Star ic suffix is being abandoned...
Wilhelm Hohenzollern, 77, published in Berlin a richly-illustrated, 163-page book entitled Studien zur Gorgo ("Studies of the Gorgon"). The exiled Kaiser began Gorgon research in 1911 after visiting the ancient Doric temple on the island of Corfu said to have been built in honor of the three Greek Gorgons (Stheno, Euryale, Medusa), mythological snaky-haired sisters whose terrifying looks turned beholders into stone...
...wind seems to blow in all directions at once, the sky is usually spattered with flights of birds, and people pursue their business or pleasure with bounce and intensity in the paintings of Doris (''Doric") Emrick Lee.

Suddenly, they were jolted wide awake as the squat French freighter Formigny plowed into the Doric, dealt her an 18-ft. gash at the waterline below the bridge. Speedily, Captain Grieg issued...
...congested down town district, the party goes by the subway, and in a series of short walks sees some of Boston's most interesting features. Arriving on Boston Common the party first visits the State House the front of which was designed by Charles Bullfinch, and erected in 1795. Doric Hall, Memorial Hall, the State Library, (containing the Bradford Manuscript), and the halls of the executive and legislative departments are among the most interesting features of this building. A short time is then taken to enter the Granary Burying Ground and King's Chapel Burying Ground where are buried many...
