Unperturbed, H. R. H. pursued his task of inspecting the squalid East End, a job Edward of Wales used to do before passing it on to his younger brother.

Parliament had just returned to sit in the Palace of Westminster, diagonally across the River Thames from the citadel of the Church of England, frowning Lambeth Palace. The London mob, swarming up from way down East, broke into Lambeth Borough and crowded even Lambeth Palace Road.

Last week dignitaries of the Church left Lambeth Borough to the mob and to courageous London bobbies who fought (in some cases) for their lives. One bobby, cornered in a side street, had his face smashed...

The transportation costs between $30 and $60 depending on weight, is slightly cheaper than the cost of driving the truck over highways. This service was hailed as "the first move of the western steam railroads to cooperate with trucking companies." Several months ago Chicago North Shore & Milwaukee (electric) offered...

When Izzy in 1927 was "offered" a transfer to Chicago, he quit. (He did not ''want to get mixed up with Capone," said he wanted to die in New York.) He likes Manhattan, wants to go on living where he has always lived, on the Lower East Side. Estimating Manhattan's speakeasies at 100,000 and their employes at half a million, Izzy thinks Prohibition is here to stay-at least for a long time.
