...individual's means, but The Model Railroader finds that the average hobbyist spends $200 to $250 a year. Typical assembly kit for assembling a baggage coach costs $10.50, a passenger coach $11.50. Biggest manufacturer of parts is Scale-Models Inc. of Chicago, headed by tall young (34) Elliott Donnelley, who left the big printing business of which his father is chairman, Chicago's R. R. Donnelley & Sons Co., because of his enthusiasm for model railroads...
Whatever may be the other distinctions of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, one is certainly a family quite as colorful as that of his late great cousin, Theodore. Last week the President's son Elliott was starting a Fort Worth radio chain, his son Franklin Jr. and Du Pont daughter-in-law were honeymooning in Europe, his son James was making an Indianapolis speech that was covered by Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt in her column "My Day," and the President's 82-year-old mother was sightseeing in Italy. None of their routine activities, however, constituted the President's major...

For that shotgun murder no one has ever been brought to trial. But last week another gun and two old associates of Elliott Speer once more surrounded quiet Mount Hermon with an incongruous criminological atmosphere, provided it with a second mystery. In Superior Court...
Dragged to the stand to revive an even more ancient scandal was Dr. Henry Franklin Cutler, Elliott Speer's 75-year-old predecessor. During Dr. Cutler's regime Cashier Norton was on such precarious terms with Dean Elder that he bored a hole in his office wall to spy on the dean and his red-haired secretary, Evelyn Dill. When Mr. Norton reported to Headmaster Cutler that he had seen the pair kissing and embracing, the headmaster had attempted to straighten things out by holding a "harmony" prayer meeting in his office. At the time, Dr. Cutler painfully...
