Since his nomination for the Presidency in June Alf Landon had appeared just once in the national eye. That was on the hot July evening he made his safe & sane acceptance speech in Topeka. Since then his prolonged absence from the headlines had prompted the pressagents of the Democratic National Committee to chide the pressagents of the Republican National Committee with having failed to mention the GOPresidential nominee for a whole week. Undisturbed by this critical clamor over his whereabouts, Governor Landon stayed on at Estes Park, nursed a cold that left him a painful trace of pleurisy...
Last May two blackamoors stumbled over something horrid at the edge of Hornbecker's Pond near North Haverstraw, N. Y. It was a partially decomposed human head. One eye had been punched out, half of the nose severed, the lower jaw slashed. Last July a torso was found in Congers Lake, six miles away. Head and body belonged to the same person whom police surgeons described as an Italian or Jew about 45 years old with curly greying hair and the habit of smoking a pipe on the left side of his mouth. There were no other clews...
First step was to make a clay model of the mutilated head exactly as it was found. Next, with the assistance of police surgeons, Sculptor Guinzburg began to patch up the missing features, combining them in six different models.

Once, asked for a subscription to the Charitable Eye & Ear Infirmary, she replied that she had not known there was a charitable eye or ear in Boston. She drank beer at "Pop" concerts at Symphony Hall when ladies were furtively sipping sherry in the parlor. She walked down Tremont Street with a lion on a leash. Once when...
...world would be 12,481,000 bales of about 500 Ib. each.* Last year the crop was 10,638,000 bales. The estimate was a little higher than expected, although Clinton T. Revere, famed cotton expert for the Manhattan firm of Munds, Winslow & Potter, scored a bull's-eye with a private estimate of 12,498,000 bales, only 17,000 above the Government figure. A month ago the Crop Board estimated that this year's cotton acreage was up less than 10% from the 1935-36 season, and cotton prices jumped to 12¾? per Ib. Last...
