Once she was arrested for disorderly conduct for interrupting a Philadelphia meeting of American War Mothers, whom she accused of profiteering on Mother's Day carnations. In 1934 she kept James Aloysius Farley from putting "Mother's Day" on his special 3? Whistler's Mother stamp, which she said was just another racket. Last week on Mother's Day she contented herself with denouncing a Manhattan "Mother's Peace Day" parade and a "Parents' Day" meeting in Central Park. (One of her current slogans is "Don't Kick Mother out of Mother...

One more thing which the G. O. P. has and the Democrats have not is a Committee of 200 to draw...
Most piquant and persistent of business rumors during recent months has been the one that Postmaster General James Aloysius Farley would shortly resign to head a rejuvenated Fierce-Arrow Motor Corp. Basis for this talk, which Jim Farley never denied, was a Fierce-Arrow reorganization plan proposed last August and approved by stockholders in September, under which the company would raise $10,700,000 through sale of new stock and enter the medium-priced automotive field under the guidance of "a person of national importance."
