...outstanding U. S. racehorse with which all others must, sooner or later, be compared. In 1930 some thought that Gallant Fox might get into his class. In 1931 it was Twenty Grand that the dopesters were hopefully watching. But wise-acres long ago agreed that neither was the equal of the 17-year-old who last week was sunning himself on the Riddle farm near Lexington, Ky., while Paramount angled for his services in a racehorse film based on a story by Sportswriter Damon Runyon...
...With equal bitterness, the employers denounced the strike leaders, particularly the three Dunne brothers, members of a family of radical labor agitators whose activities date back to the days of the I. W. W. Employers insisted that the strike was not wanted by most of their employes, that the union leaders forced a standing vote on the strike with thugs on hand to knock the head off any one who dared to vote against it, that Communists, radicals and unemployed were all made union members and turned loose as marauders against trucks.

World reaction was instantaneous. French editors were overjoyed at this highly undiplomatic singling out of Germany as Britain's potential foe.

When she was 8, Ellen Elizabeth Benson's mind had been rated as equal to that of a "superior adult." Six months later her elders found her qualified, on paper, to teach in a Los Angeles high school. At 12 she scored an I. Q. of 214, highest ever recorded in the U. S. in a Binet-Simon test. That same year she went...
Last week National Distillers reported profits of $5,700,000 for the first half, equal to $2.87 per share. But $3,800,000 of this was made in the first quarter when whiskey in a window was still a novelty, only $1,900,000 in the second quarter after people had learned that even whiskey in a window could be pretty bad. Ten times annual earnings per share is an old thumb rule for stock prices but so unpromising did investors rate the liquor outlook last week that National Distillers stock at $17 per share was selling at six times...
