...temporary resignation at the beginning of the revolution was blamed on an injury to his eye. General Amaro's eye was reported fully recovered but just in case it should go bad again, President Portes Gil persuaded General Calles not to go off, as he had planned, on a European vacation this summer. Also, though Peace was thoroughly restored, a regiment of Mexican soldiers were assigned "as a courtesy" to escort U. S. Ambassador Morrow to the Texas border on his way home to give his daughter in marriage to U. S. Hero Lindbergh...
They brought him a cake with 21 candles. That and the French professional golf championship, the first European championship he has ever won, were Horton Smith's birthday presents. To Aubrey Boomer, the St. Cloud professional and Smith's nearest competitor, they brought a score card which Boomer, nervous, could scarcely sign. The figures scribbled on this card showed that Boomer had made a record-breaking 61 (33-28) for 18 holes on the St. Cloud golf course. The course is 6,507 yds. long. Boomer averaged 107 yds. per shot, including puts and approaches. For Gene Sarazen who came...
...golf is highly stylized, has mostly been played on the hard, fast fairways of Missouri and California. Golfer Smith's two feet and the head of his club, when it touches the ground, nearly always form that invisible equilateral triangle so exuberantly eulogized in golf textbooks.

On the careless hillocks and ridges of Muirfield and Moortown where he had his first taste of European golf, Golfer Smith generally had to forego his orthodox stance. In St. Cloud, however...
Gratification came last week to Professor P. I. Preobrajenski, famed Russian geologist. For last week near Perm in the Ural Mountains (the mountain chain which divides European from Asiatic Russia) Professor Preobrajenski discovered oil. Thereupon the Soviet Supreme Economic Council bestowed upon him a reward (a "gratification") of 10,000 rubles (approximately $5,000). The Professor was "gratified" rather than "paid" because of the prevailing theory that services to the Russian state are recompensed by promotion and power rather than by so capitalistic an invention as capital...
...uncertainty that has featured the question of reparations ever since the war. But students of history may well be cynical of the permanent nature of such an agreement. With the payments stretching over sixty years, there is every chance that before their completion the political relations of the European powers will be vastly different to their condition now. Modern Europe has never passed sixty years without a major conflict, and it is unlikely that the diplomatic situation will not have undergone, before 1989, changes that will render obsolete any agreement based on the present political isolation of Germany...
