Then events followed fast. Homer Martin had requested such a convention, but he denounced it, charging that the terms of the call gerrymandered it against him. So he issued his own call for a convention and suspended 15 board members including Messrs. Frankensteen. Mortimer and potent little Walter Reuther of Detroit. They retaliated by impeaching him. He caught them napping. Early one morning he and a dozen huskies marched into U. A. W. headquarters, seized the union records and bank books, locked the offices, transferred everything to Mr. Martin's suite in the Eddystone Hotel...
...Love, a game. In effect, Love is parchesi with sex appeal. Players start single, win by pairing with a player of the opposite sex, moving up to goal marked The Altar. Cards rather than dice determine moves. If a pair draw cards marked "Edward" and "Wallis," they move ahead fast; if they draw "Canterbury," they are "sent into exile." As a promotion stunt Miss Davis recently sent a box of Love to the Archbishop of Canterbury. This week, according to a columnist in London's Daily Express, she got his answering letter.

Hutter '38, only one, Jim Curwen '40, remains. Most of the Old Guard have graduated and Willie Kendall has abandoned college leaving two intercollegiate records behind him. Uien, the sports-writers, and the fans are new forced to get accustomed to "normal" times. Only within the grasp of scholastically ineligible Curwen is the possibility of smashing a record in the Hutter story-book fashion...
...trade. With their father they opened a small store, branched into manufacturing and wholesaling, did a $250,000 gross business in 1919, their first year. Paying workers on a Bedaux-like bonus system, concentrating on relatively few (2,000) items and selling them cheaply, Samuel Kunin & Sons, Inc. grew fast. Last year they grossed nearly $5,000,000-a third as much as lumbering old Sprague Warner, which was having tough going with its 11,000 items (including 84 brands of coffee), its 550,000-square-foot Chicago plant, its warehouses in 18 cities...
